What If?
Throughout 1989 and 1990, Stan Lee and Chris Claremont were in discussions with Carolco Pictures for an X-Men film adaptation, with James Cameron as producer and Kathryn Bigelow directing. A story treatment was written by Bigelow, with Bob Hoskins being considered for Wolverine and Angela Bassett as Storm. The deal fell apart when Stan Lee piqued Cameron's interest in a Spider-Man film. The plot would had been similar to the 2000 Bryan Singer film, showing Wolverine joining the X-Men. Magneto would have pass himselves as a anti-mutant politician, and Wolverine and Storm would have a romantic interest. Other mutants present would have been Cyclops, Nightcrawler, Jean Grey and Rogue.
