One user taking to Reddit to discuss the casting change wrote: "Hugh Jackman stepped in after filming had already started to replace Dougray Scott (who was held up filming MI:2), which is why he looks relatively scrawny through much of the first X-Men movie.".
One user joked: "I'm sure his portrayal of Wolverine would have joined the long list of iconic Dougray Scott performances that we all love and celebrate."
One fan asked: "Do you think Dougray Scott would have made a good Wolverine?
A separate thread has now asked how Scott would have changed the role should he have managed to portray Wolverine.
The actor, better known for his work in Taken 3, Hitman, and Ripley's Game, missed out on the chance to portray the comic book hero, and fans say he would have done a great job.
