Dougray Scott, who is playing Wolverine in the X-Men movie, might have to drop out. He is a bad guy role in Mission Impossible 2. He’s due on the X-set by October 18, but he’s behind in filming because he missed a few days with a shoulder injury.

If the scheduling can’t be worked out by the end of the week, Wolverine will be recast.

Dougray’s choice is a superhero icon, or some dude who Tom Cruise beats up. Which will he choose. I wonder.

Jim Cavaziel, who washed out of playing Cyclops, had this to say from his campsite outside the set of the X-movie:

"This is my big chance! I’ve been growing my fingernails just for this part! I’ve got a lot of hair! Listen: ‘Grrrr, bub! I’m Canadian, eh! Snikt, bub!"

Just think….Dougray Scott would have been Van Helsing, and in the Prestige, and on Broadway, and in the Fountain.

And Hugh Jackman would have been in….huh.

On the other hand, Jim Cavaziel’s career has flourished.
