In 2020, The Hollywood Reporter shared a fascinating piece about the legacy of the X-Men franchise in the wake of a series of sexual abuse allegations against director Bryan Singer.
Even before those claims, it was no secret that his behaviour on set was erratic, including late arrivals, mood swings, and explosive tantrums.
Apparently, it wasn’t uncommon for Rebecca Romijn to spend hours being painted up as Mystique before filming, only for Singer to decide on a whim he didn’t need her. Interestingly, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige—an associate producer at the time—was “dispatched to ensure that someone was keeping Singer in line.”
Things got worse when X2: X-Men United was shooting.
