The last installment of the popular sci-fi action movie X-Men: Days of the Future Past almost got Juggernaut as Magneto's rescuer. In the movie Quicksilver made a very epic scene of freeing Michael Fassbender's character in the very secure prison of Pentagon.
According to an interview with Simon Kinberg reported by Cinema Blend, the wrecking mutant, Juggernaut, was the mutant that Professor X , Hank McCoy and Logan should have been recruited. However, when Bryan Singer took over the movie from Matthew Vaughn, the new director adjusted the script to include the teenage Quicksilver in the story and change the prison's location from under the White House to Pentagon.
Matthew Vaughn was the director of X-Men:First Class who put Juggernaut in the story and in his statement in the Podcast with Empire Online, the director cited:
"I had Juggernaut being thrown out of a plane at 20,000 feet," Vaughn said. "And using his head to go down a hole to get to the bottom of the [The White House]. I had Beast saying, 'I have a plan,' and him replying, 'What's the plan? What's the plan?', and they go higher and higher and Beast was going to go, 'This is it!' and chuck him out the window. Then he goes smashing through [The White House]... and Magneto goes, 'Who the fuck are you?'"
On Movie and TV corner, the former director said that putting the speed-craze mutant was a better decision than his idea of putting Juggernaut saying it "would have made the movie worse."
In the produced movie, Evan Peter's Quicksilver portrayal was the most memorable scene in the X-Men:Days of the Future Past movie. Meanwhile, Josh Helman was the one originally cast as big Juggernaut, but due to some changes he was cast as Wolverine's adamantium supplier, William Stryker.
Rumors has it that the next X-men movie installment, Fox will reset some buttons with Wolverine's time-travelling adventures, fans might see the Juggernaut again after appearing in The Last Stand.
