X-Men: First Class director Matthew Vaughn revealed back in 2011 that Roberto “Sunspot” Da Costa, the Brazilian mutant with the ability to absorb solar energy was a “pain in the ass” to film and too expensive. So he had to be cut. But this newly released concept art shows the mutant that could have been. Plus new Emma Frost art that proves her bra getup could have been even worse!
Concept Artist Josh Kao worked on both the Emma Frost and Sunspot illustrations. Thankfully we won’t have to wait forever to see Sunspot on the big screen, as the above image was taken from the X-Men: Days of Future Past trailer. We’ll be getting Sunspot along with Bishop, Blink and Warpath. New Mutants!
