Get this, guys! Do you remember the 2011 Marvel hit, X-Men: First Class? Of course, you do! But what if we told you there’s something about the film you didn’t know. There was supposed to be a scene with Magneto in a dress. Yes, you heard it right!
A Scene Still Remains Unseen
The film featured Michael Fassbender, and he played the role of cruel Magneto. Now, rumor has it that the scene that never made it to the viewer’s eye had Magneto dressing up as a woman. Quite unlikely, right? Well, motion picture creators often do unpredictable things, and this is just one example.
Diving into the Deleted Scene
So, let’s give you a quick excursion on how the plot would have been altered by this scene. Our favorite Erik Lehnsherr, alias Magneto, teams up with Charles Xavier, famously known as Professor X, on a scouting mission. Their goal – to find and recruit hidden mutants.
From Laughs to Mutant Abilities
It starts simply. Fassbender encourages Zoë Kravitz’s character, Angel Salvadore, to use her powers. He does this by showing her his magnetism effect. This serious sequence then turns into a comedy. Fassbender finds himself wearing a light blue dress – all thanks to Professor X and his mind-reading powers.
The Humor Behind the Dress Change
Catch this, in a prank played by Prof X, Magneto’s outfit gets swapped for a pretty dress and wig. And, the best part – Magneto doesn’t even notice it! This gives Angel and Charles a good laugh. Oh! How we wish we could have watched this scene. It would certainly have been a hilarious treat!
Fans Share the Sorrow
Many X-men fans have shared their disappointment online over the lost scene. This comical turn would have added a fresh side to Magneto, making his character even more likable. Fans have praised Prof X’s prank and have found the whole idea of Magneto in a dress highly amusing.
Fassbender’s Excellent Dedication
Speaking of Magneto, let’s take a moment to appreciate Fassbender. Even though the scene never made it to the screen, he never shied away from the challenge. Dressing up as a woman might seem off the path for Magneto but Fassbender was willing to push the envelope. Hats off to his commitment!
X-Men: First Class- A Marvel Masterpiece
X-Men: First Class undoubtedly stands out among the Marvel creations. Still, fans are bummed about the deleted scene. They can only imagine the joy they would’ve felt watching the funny situation. It’s sad to see a potential gem of an interaction left on the cutting room floor.
In case you haven’t seen X-Men: First Class or want to rewatch it, you can stream it. Just head over to Disney+ and enjoy!
Despite the scene’s deletion, let’s remember the movie for its great entertainment value. And hey, who knows, maybe one day we’ll get to see that scene after all! Until then, let’s keep marvelling at the world of X-men. That’s all for now, folks! Keep shining like our heroes.
