Ioan Gruffudd On Deleted Wolverine Scene In Fantastic Four: ‘I Played Both'
Ioan Gruffudd recently quipped about the now-deleted crossover between Mister Fantastic and Wolverine. Ioan Gruffudd recently opened up about the 'wolverine scene' in the 2005 movie, Fantastic Four. The actor, who played Reed Richards, aka Mister Fantastic, in the superhero film, revealed that he doesn't know why the scene was scrapped. But he also jokingly mentioned how he has been part of both the roles even if for a brief period. In a surprising turn of events in the American superhero movie, Fantastic Four, Reed Richards was briefly transformed into Wolverine from the X-Men film franchise. His face was being morphed in an attempt to impress Sue Storm, played by Jessica Alba. However, the scene, which was a lighthearted nod to the X-Men franchise, was deleted from the final cut of the film. Recently, wondering about one of the earliest crossovers in superhero cinema, Ioan Gruffudd told Vulture in a recent interview, 'I don't know why that didn't make it into the film." Ioan Gruffudd On The Fantastic Four Scene Featuring Wolverine In the same conversation, the 51-year-old actor revealed that he was unaware of the real reason the scene was cut, but he feels glad to have been a part of it. 'Paying homage to the great Hugh Jackman was quite a thrill because I absolutely love him as an actor and his Wolverine. I'm glad that it has a chance to exist somewhere," he said. Gruffudd revealed how the scene was actually made, 'I was in Vancouver on a soundstage and Jessica (Alba) was in New York, so we weren't actually together, but we look perfectly in sync," he added. Ioan Gruffudd Reveals Playing Both Mister Fantastic And Wolverine Some of the audience mentioned that the scrapping of the scene might be due to its noticeably weak CGI. In contrast, others thought that the makers wanted to avoid the complications related to the collaboration of the Fantastic Four and X-Men universes. At this point of the conversation, Gruffudd technically joked that he has 'played both Mister Fantastic and Wolverine", even if that is 'For a brief second, yes, that's a good pub-quiz question." Legacy Of Mister Fantastic Role After Gruffudd portrayed Reed Richards, the Fantastic Four leader who had the power to stretch his body, also reprised his role in the 2007 sequel Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. In the 2015 reboot movie, Miles Teller played the character which turned into a college-age genius by then. Finally, in The Fantastic Four: First Steps, which premiered on July 25, Pedro Pascal took on the original role and has been winning hearts.
