List of X-Men films cast members

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hugh Jackman has starred as Wolverine in the film series since the release of X-Men in 2000, and is set to reprise the role.

The following is a list of cast members who have portrayed characters appearing in the X-Men film series, based upon the comic books of the same name. Hugh Jackman has played Wolverine in the three films, and is set to reprise his role in a spin-off film. Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Famke Janssen, Halle Berry, Anna Paquin, Rebecca Romijn, James Marsden and Shawn Ashmore have also appeared in all three films.

The film also features numerous cameo appearances from characters in the comic book. Sometimes the role of a cameo character in one film is expanded in the next. The character of Kitty Pryde has been played by a different actress in each film, as she only cameoed in the first two films before graduating to becoming an X-Man in the third film.

The list is sorted by film and character, because of multiple actors portraying the same role, sometimes in flashbacks to when they were a child. The characters are divided by their primary allegiance, and listed in order when they first appeared in the series. The list also includes confirmed cast members for the upcoming X-Men Origins: Wolverine, due to be released in 2009.

Key

• (y) indicates the actor portrayed the role in a flashback scene as a child.
