Has there ever been a movie that changed the trajectory of two actors more than MI:2? If Scott would have played Wolverine, would anyone ever noticed Hugh Jackman? Would Scott be the bigger star?


I've read this a few times and can't figure out what you are talking about.

"MI:2" has me thinking Mission Impossible 2
Scott who?
I obviously know Jackman/Wolverine in X-men.

Leo DiCaprio was supposed to star in Boogie Nights, but Titanic kept him from the role. Drew Barrymore was in the mix for Rollergirl.
Johnny Depp was supposed to star in Mr. and Mrs. Smith, but he decided to take a break from acting.
Tom Cruise was up for Edward Scissorhands, but he didn't want to play someone with facial scars.
Lisa Kudrow was Roz in the pilot for Frasier, but the producers wanted someone who could stand up to Fraiser - apparently she played the part like Phoebe. Something similar happed with Ray Romano in NewsRadio and Joe Rogan got the part.
Michelle Pfeiffer was originally cast as Clarice Starling in Silence of the Lambs. That was back when Gene Hackman was going to be Hannibal Lecter.
