And other Brian Singer fukkery


In the spring of 1999, Bryan Singer and a group of X-Men producers and crew were working out of the old Fox offices near Olympic and Bundy when Michael Jackson walked in the door. Wearing sunglasses and refusing to shake hands, Jackson was visiting the industrial space to meet with Singer to discuss the prospect of playing Professor Xavier in the upcoming film.

"I said to him, 'Do you know Xavier is an older white guy?' " X-Men producer Lauren Shuler Donner recalls. "And Michael said, 'Oh yeah. You know, I can wear makeup.' "

I would say its wild how Bryan Singer being a pedo got swept under the rug but its not, not at all. Par for course actually.

According to Stan Lee, Michael wanted to buy Marvel and play Spiderman too.



Michael is the GOAT, but thank the cinematic overlords that this did not happen.
