Dougray Scott is fine. I never thought about him playing Wolverine but I can see how he would have been good too. Hugh Jackman was great and there is no "living" man that would have looked good in the classic yellow. That only works on ink and paper LOL. I wonder why the art directors back in '74 decided to make his costume yellow, since he is a very bad boy *so hot* LOL. But it's classic to me and I've loved it since I was a little girl so I guess it's just part of who he is to me.
Cyclops jokes about the yellow spandex to Wolverine in X1. Something like "would you have preferred yellow spandex?" My husband looked at me and started laughing hysterically in the theater. I just kinda slumped down in my seat.
