John Bryne Wasn't Asked To Cameo In DAYS OF FUTURE PAST, But Didn't Want To Anyway

John Bryne is the co-writer and artist for Days of Future Past, the basis for FOX's upcoming X-flick, and while Chris Claremont and Len Wein got to cameo in the movie, Bryne didn't. Why? He didn't really want to because he hates the films...

Chris Claremont, the writer of the 1981 X-Men storyline 'Days of Future Past,' and Len Wein, co-creator of Wolverine along with Roy Thomas and John Romita, Sr., are both making a cameo appearance in Fox's latest X-Men film. But John Bryne, the artist and co-writer of Days of Future Past, will not cameo. He was asked if he was invited to make a cameo, to which he simply replied "Nope." He was then asked if he would have accepted the invitation if he were asked. "Nope!" He further elaborates, saying "Given how much I've haaaaaaaaated what the movies have done with the X-Men, being offered a 'cameo' would feel a lot like the prom scene in CARRIE." He is often left out when everyone credits Chris Claremont as the writer for the story, as he feels that they both should be given equal credit. "A friend informs me that the Wykeepeedya, in its ongoing efforts to get everything wrong, lists Chris, and only Chris, as the 'writer' of the original story." What do you think? Sound off below.

Giving him the Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko treatment.

Or the Bill Finger treatment.

I always feel sorry for Kirby and Ditko. They were definitely more than mere artists for Lee.

The man has standards. Good to see he's not compromising his dignity by being associated with the bastard version of the X-Men. Good shit.

In his prime he was one of THE BEST comic creators (writer/artist).
His work even holds up today.

Lmao xD Singer did a good job of adapting DOFP. Let's see what he does with Apcalypse even though I'd rather have someone take a crack at it:)

I think he has good grounds to be a little perturbed. And just because he may be upset about not being properly credited with his work or not being invited to the film doesn't automatically mean he would use it as motivation to voice his dislike of the franchise. He may genuinely not care for what he has seen of the films, and, that may be why he wasn't invited and not the other way around. He doesn't seem to be the type to hide his opinion like some.

Byrne is a legend He was one of the greats in the 80's and 90's so respect for this guy.

He, along with other greats such as Dan Jurgens, Roger Stern and Jerry Ordway, gave us the best Superman ever.

Haha! Good stuff.

Wish more creators would be straight forward with what they think of their work being adapted honestly. It's not like they have anything to lose especially when it's been a long time since they even wrote the work.

Love his work, especially his great 5 year run in the FF. He was at his best when there was tight editorial control (Jim Shooter era).

He's right. Good for him speaking the truth.

If Fox were to replace Singer (even if it isn't for another few films), who would be the best person to replace him besides Vaughn?

Seeing DOFP tomorrow, but I'm hoping that Singer is able to do even better with a follow up. He's responsible for a lot of the continuity issues, yes, but most/all of those came in X-3 and beyond.

Maybe he can cameo in the "Alpha Flight" movie if it's ever made.
