"Robert Sheehan has claimed that he was originally cast in X-Men: First Class. The Irish actor revealed that he landed the part of Banshee in Matthew Vaughn&amp;#039;s comic book movie, but had to drop out due to filming commitments on his E4 show Misfits.   &amp;quot;I was cast in X-Men,&amp;quot; Sheehan told Hot Press. &amp;quot;I was going to be Banshee, originally an Irish superhero, and Jane Goldman wrote it for me. &amp;quot;So yeah, that did sting a bit. There was a four or five-week crossover with Misfits, and the studio came back and said, &amp;#039;No, we need full and free availability&amp;#039;, and all of a sudden I was un-cast.&amp;quot; Banshee, otherwise known as Sean Cassidy, was ultimately played by Caleb Landry Jones in the 2011 film. Sheehan will soon be seen in The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, based on the novel of the same name by Cassandra Clare. The movie, also starring Lily Collins and Jamie Campbell Bower, is released on August 21 in the UK and US. Bryan Singer&amp;#039;s X-Men: Days of Future Past will arrive in cinemas on July 18, 2014.
