rexe at 12:19am on 27/04/2003 JoBlo: I heard that you had considered using Beast in this one. Who were some of the characters that you would consider bringing in, other than Beast, or even him, if you were to direct a sequel? {crowd screams Gambit}
Bryan Singer: I want Gambit. In fact, I almost had Gambit as a young boy on the basketball field, but the fear was that if he held the basketball, then released it and then it exploded, which was the idea, then people would be like "what’s wrong with those basketballs?". That is, people who weren’t fans or didn’t know the characters. But Gambit and Beast are two characters that I missed terribly. Beast was in the script for a while but then when you have Mystique that’s nine hours make-up and all of these challenges, you have to choose your battles, so perhaps those characters.
