List Of X-Men Films Cast Members
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 is the only actor to have appeared in all seven films: he played Wolverine in the original trilogy and reprised his role in the prequel films X-Men Origins: Wolverine and X-Men: First Class, the latter in a cameo appearance. He will again star in The Wolverine and X-Men: Days of Future Past. Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Famke Janssen, Halle Berry, Anna Paquin, Rebecca Romijn, James Marsden and Shawn Ashmore have also appeared in all three films of the original trilogy, with Stewart also making a cameo appearance in X-Men Origins, Romijn in X-Men: First Class and Janssen in The Wolverine.
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, for example, 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, where she is played by Ellen Page.
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.

Unlike painting and literature, the cinema both gives to life and takes from it, and I try to render this concept in my films. Literature and painting both exist as art from the very start; the cinema doesn’t.” “Sometimes, because of its immediacy, television produces a kind of electronic parable. Berlin, for instance, on the day the Wall was opened. Rostropovich was playing his cello by the Wall that no longer cast a shadow, and a million East Berliners were thronging to the West to shop with an allowance given them by West German banks! At that moment the whole world saw how materialism had lost its awesome historic power and become a shopping list.” “A multitude of little superfluous precautions engender here a population of deputies and sub-officials, each of whom acquits himself with an air of importance and a rigorous precision, which seemed to say, though everything is done with much silence, “Make way, I am one of the members of the grand machine of state.”” | |||||||
