Who did you have pictured in your mind when you were writing the script? Was Patrick Stewart or anyone else attached at the time?

I was writing it for the comic book characters. I was brought on as they were casting, so I was lucky enough to be there for some of the people who came in like Terence Stamp for Xavier and Janet Jackson and Mariah Carey for Storm. Michael Jackson came in because he wanted to play Professor X. It was amazing. Shaq came in. Viggo Mortensen came in. I really liked Viggo for Wolverine, but it didn't come together for whatever reason. Angela Bassett was our first choice for Storm, but her agents wanted more money than we had at the time. Same with Rachael Leigh Cook for Rogue.

Okay, I have some respect for the filmmakers now knowing they did, indeed, want Angela Basset to be Storm. She would have absolutely been perfect. But it makes sense that they didn't have much of a budget being that this was during a time where superhero films were dead and had fallen out of popularity. 

If Halle was good enough, then Janet would have been too. I think Janet would have looked better as Storm. 

And what is with this nonsense of Michael wanting to be Professor X? Nobody would have been able to take that seriously.

I think she was actually chosen but the AFY tout got in the way

I was going to say, I don't think it would have made much of a difference if Janet was Storm, but if Angela had taken the role I think it would have changed the course of X-Men on film. She probably would have had her own set of solo films like Wolverine.
