To-do list for X-Men (film):

Glenn Danzig auditioned for the part of Wolverine and would have made an excellent choice by having the natural build as the character Wolverine has but due to scheduling conflicts, Glenn turned down the role. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brarellj ( talk • contribs) 10:06, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
When X-Men was originally released on DVD, it was a one-disc release. Later on, it was released as a two-disc version, entitled X-Men: 1.5. I have that version. Can someone more talented than me put that in the article? Thanks. Allen (Morriswa) ( talk) 03:56, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
In cleaning up the cast lists for the various X-men film pages, I have matched the character names and cast order to the end credits scroll. However, it's come to my attention that there is an oddity with this film (which you can see here). If you check from 1:09 to 1:15, as the film's stars are listed, Patrick Stewart receives top billing, while Hugh Jackman is listed second. However, when the full cast list (with character names) begins scrolling at around 2:22, Jackman receives the top billing while Stewart is listed second; I never noticed this before, because I was skipping straight to the crawl during the cleanup. Not really seeing any guidance in our MOS about which list takes precedence (although its entirely likely I'm accidentally reading right over it). Thoughts? Grandpallama ( talk) 14:08, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
The reason I took that decision is a practical one: not everyone in the cast list gets an opening credit, so I would have had to use the cast list anyway once I got past the four principal stars, who would then be out of order according to the cast list!This thought occurred to me, too (in terms of not using the opening credits). In the list that includes the entire cast, Jackman shows up before Stewart, which allows for consistency with all the names who don't get star billing at all; this is also the reason why I was skipping straight to the full cast list when I was cleaning up the casting sections. I still overlooked that there were two versions of the end credits, but Betty's overall reasoning still holds and makes the most sense to me. Grandpallama ( talk) 19:51, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
No more responses after a couple of months, so I assumed this is settled. I see rough consensus here that while the billing block is preferable to control the cast lists of unreleased films, the full credits list of a released film should determine credit order (since it is also the definitive source for character names). Given that, I will restore the cast list order to the final, full credits of the film. Thanks for the input, everyone. Grandpallama ( talk) 02:48, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
Was recently changed from $75,000,000 to $70,000,000 with no change of source or reason given, thus reverted. Any input from anoyone? BenBrownBoy ( Aye?) 13:35, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
