Not really "almost cast", but in Wizard Magazine #7, they listed their own cast for X-Men that skewed a little older:
Schwarzenegger as Colossus
Patrick Stewart (obviously) as Prof. X
Angela Bassett as Storm
And Robert DeNiro as Logan/Wolverine

If Tom Cruise had been Ironman I wouldn\'t have bothered to see it.

I wish they would have got someone real hot to play catwoman, Anne Hathaway is far from hot... She\'s pretty, but not hot!

Robert was the best choice.

Whew, good thing. Casting Cruise as Iron Man would have been like casting \"Tattoo\" as The Incredible Hulk.

Sooo glad Tom said no! Because if you look at the comic books, Robert Downey Jr IS Iron man. You couldn't get another actor that looks that close to the role he was portraying.

It\'s nice to know that most of the time, cooler, smarter heads prevail in these comic book-to-real life movies. I can\'t imagine behaviorally-challenged Cruise playing a superhero, M/Impossible is as far as he should go. And Cage? Jesus, he was washed up after Gone In 60 Seconds. Where he got the money for all those properties that bankrupted him who knows.

WTF? Tom Cruise a \"Super hero\"? Give me a Break. Maybe Captain Limp wrist
