Could you have seen MJ as Professor Xavier in X-Men?


20 years ago when the first X-Men film came out, a bizarre revelation has emerged on the backstory of the superhero film that went on to make millions for Fox now owned by Disney!!

An expose by the Hollywood Reporter says that Michael Jackson had his sights set on portraying the bald, wheelchair bound PROFESSOR CHARLES XAVIER!!

The King of Pop went so far as to schedule a meeting with controversial director, Bryan Singer and 20th Century Fox at the time which he prepared a presentation

Producer Lauren Shuler recalled "I said to him, do you know Xavier is an older white guy?" during the spring encounter of 1999

Michael said "You know, i can wear makeup"

At the time MJ wore sunglasses and refused to shake hands and then presented his 1997 short film GHOSTS in which he morphed into a 60 something white mayor railing against a well meaning performer who entertains children with magic tricks

Fox executives confirms that this encounter DID happen but they never seriously considered him for the role and ultimately gave it to Star Trek alum, Patrick Stewart who became a hallmark role for the British actor

Although Michael had an affinity for children while developing his Neverland ranch in California and the long debated sexual misconduct claims, perhaps that may have been the reason for wanting the role of Prof X who runs Xavier's School for Gifted youngsters of mutant youth

The X-Men franchise spawned 12 films and is now owned by mega giant Disney who can now incorporate characters into its Marvel Phase 4 films

Could you imagine him as Professor X saying that and then popping up out of his chair to sing Beat It with all his classic dance moves then getting back into the chair after? Now I really wish this was a super secret blooper that was filmed.
