    • Trivia
      Cameo appearances were originally planned for Wolverine (James "Logan" Howlett) and Magneto (Erik Lehnsherr), who were present during World War II. At that time, Logan was a soldier and Lehnsherr was in an internment camp. However, these cameos were scrapped due to rights issues. As a result of the Disney-Fox merger of 2019, Marvel Studios now owns the rights to the X-Men characters.
