**What Might Have Been: Movies Which Replaced Actors** (either during pre-production, or in the middle of shooting)

1. _X-Men_ (2000) – Dougray Scott had been cast as Wolverine, but had to drop out of the film just before filming, due to a scheduling conflict and an injury; he was replaced by Hugh Jackman, for whom it became his breakthrough role.
2. Back to the Future (1985) - Eric Stoltz was originally cast as Marty but his timing and more serious take didn’t work with director Robert Zemeckis. Michael J. Fox was his original choice and worked on the movie at the same time as _Family Ties_.
