[edit] X-Men
The X-Men is a taskforce from the Xavier Institute, charged with protecting both humans and mutants and trying to prevent a war between the two.
- Hugh Jackman as Logan / Wolverine: Logan can heal quickly, a talent which allowed the painful implantation of a metal coating on his bones and metal claws that emerge from each hand. He mourns Jean Grey, whom he misses.
- Halle Berry as Ororo Munroe / Storm: She can control the weather and fly. Halle Berry stated during interviews for X2 that she would not return as Storm in the third film unless the character had a significant presence comparable to the comic-book version. Brett Ratner also felt Storm required a larger role and there was little difficulty reaching an agreement.[1]
- Patrick Stewart as Professor Charles Xavier: The founder of the Xavier Institute, with powerful telepathic powers.
- Anna Paquin as Marie / Rogue: A runaway mutant who has found a home at Xavier's school and love with Bobby Drake. When she touches someone she absorbs their strength, their powers, and, if not careful, their life.
- Kelsey Grammer as Dr. Henry "Hank" McCoy / Beast: A former student of Xavier's School who is now the Secretary of Mutant Affairs in the U.S. government. The Beast is covered in blue fur and has a genius level I.Q., and heightened strength and agility. Filmmakers considered using the Beast character since the first X-Men movie, but budget constraints ruled him out; however, Steve Bacic is identified as Hank McCoy when he appears on a television screen in a cameo role in X2.
- James Marsden as Scott Summers / Cyclops: The X-Men's field leader, who is devastated by the death of Jean Grey. He emits powerful energy blasts from his eyes.
- Shawn Ashmore as Bobby Drake / Iceman: He can control the temperature of the moisture in the air around him to create constructs of ice or blasts of cold. Under extreme conditions, his body may take on many of the characteristics of ice in addition to those of a human.
- Ben Foster as Warren Worthington III / Angel: He has angelic wings which allow him to fly. Cayden Boyd plays Warren as a child.
- Ellen Page as Kitty Pryde: She can "phase" through objects, which allows her to walk through walls and float through floors.
- Daniel Cudmore as Peter Rasputin / Colossus: He can transform his skin into metal, granting increased strength and a resistance to damage.
[edit] Brotherhood of Mutants
- Ian McKellen as Erik Lehnsherr / Magneto: Master of magnetism, Holocaust survivor, and would-be conqueror, Magneto wages war against humanity in the name of mutant superiority, a goal that often pits him against his old friend Charles Xavier.
- Famke Janssen as Jean Grey / Phoenix: A former member of the X-Men who sacrificed herself to save her comrades. She possesses great telekinetic and telepathic powers. After being revived, her powers consume her and she joins the Brotherhood.
- Rebecca Romijn as Raven Darkholme / Mystique: Magneto's blue-skinned right-hand woman can shapeshift to appear as anyone and can fight with incredible agility and strength.
- Aaron Stanford as John Allerdyce / Pyro: Former Xavier Institute student Pyro can manipulate fire but cannot create it. He holds a grudge against his former friend Bobby Drake.
- Vinnie Jones as Cain Marko / Juggernaut: The Juggernaut is a new recruit to the Brotherhood. When he starts moving, it is nearly impossible to stop him.
- Dania Ramirez as Callisto: She possesses superhuman speed and can sense the power levels of mutants.
- Eric Dane as Jamie Madrox / Multiple Man: Multiple Man can split himself into multiple copies. He is a criminal who joins the Brotherhood upon their releasing him.
- Omahyra as Philippa Sontag / Arclight: Arclight can generate seismic energies that cause shockwaves and earth tremors.
- Mei Melançon as Elisabeth Braddock / Psylocke: Psylocke is a ninja assassin who has the ability to teleport herself through shadows.
[edit] Other characters
- Michael Murphy as Warren Worthington II: He is the Head of Worthington Labs, the corporation developing the "cure". He is also Angel's father and wants to rid his son of his mutant abilities.
- Cameron Bright as Jimmy / Leech: A mutant boy whose power cancels the powers of nearby mutants. His DNA is the basis for the "cure". After being rescued, he is admitted to the Xavier Institute.
- Shohreh Aghdashloo as Dr. Kavita Rao: Rao is the inventor of the mutant cure, which she created with the DNA of Leech.
The sergeant directing defensive preparations before the Brotherhood assaults Alcatraz Island is played by Gunnery Sergeant R. Lee Ermey, a former U.S. Marine Corps non-commissioned officer who became a military adviser for films and frequent military character actor. X-Men co-creator Stan Lee and writer Chris Claremont have cameos in the film's opening scene as neighbors in Jean Grey's old neighborhood. Respectively, they are credited as "Waterhose man" and "Lawnmower man".
Despite playing a key role in the secret ending and portrayed as having close personal ties to Professor Xavier, Moira MacTaggert, portrayed by Olivia Williams, was not listed in the official press notes' cast list and goes uncredited in the finished film.
Alan Cumming was reportedly uncomfortable with the long hours he had to take with the Nightcrawler makeup, but still planned to return for X-Men: The Last Stand. The part for Nightcrawler was so minimal, however, that the studio felt it was not worthwhile to go through the long and costly makeup process, and the character was cut.[2] Nightcrawler's absence was explained in the tie-in game.
