After the commercial success of the first “X-Men” movie in 2001, the Marvel franchise continued the series with 2003’s “X2: X-Men United.” The infamous Bryan Singer — who directed both films — was notorious for his inappropriate, erratic behavior and misconduct both on and off the “X-Men” set. But one dangerous incident on-set truly crossed the line.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, before filming a large stunt scene that featured the main cast — including actors Halle Berry and Hugh Jackman — a producer named Tom DeSanto attempted to stop production after discovering that Singer and other members of the crew were under the influence of drugs The director allegedly refused and continued filming the scene. Without a stunt coordinator in sight, the stunt went awry and left Jackman bloodied while on camera. DeSanto ultimately shut down production for the day, leading the studio to take Singer’s side after the incident. When higher-ups told DeSanto to leave set, the cast went to Singer’s trailer to protest. If DeSanto left, they were all leaving. This is when Berry allegedly told Singer, “You can kiss my Black a**.”
The film premiered with the cast in tact and Singer would be replaced for the next film, but he has been followed by this toxic reputation and allegations of sexual assault ever since.
