Fox's 2006 film, X-Men: The Last Stand, included a wide variety of mutants but centered on a handful -- predominately Wolverine, Jean Grey, Magneto and Professor Xavier -- though marketing for the film teased others such as Juggernaut. According to actor Vinnie Jones, who played the unstoppable mutant, he was originally promised a large role by director Brett Ratner; but was ultimately relegated to that of a minor supporting character.

Jones told ComicBookMovie that he had originally taken the role because of Matthew Vaughn and the script, "Juggernaut was a great character. I signed up for three of them, and that will show you how serious I was about it." However, the actor then revealed that Ratner significantly reduced the role, stating, "It wasn't the same Juggernaut as I signed on for. They took his storyline away, they'd taken his character away, his dialogue." When Jones discussed the issue with Ratner, the director promised that the writers were continuing to develop Juggernaut, "And it never f***ing happened."

The actor clarified that the film was not reflective of what Matthew Vaugh had intended for the character. He then acknowledged that fans were disappointed and revealed that he had been taking the blame for Ratner's creative decisions. "I know what it means to the fans, and I felt like I was a bit of a scapegoat as no one ever told my side of it," Jones explained, adding that he essentially had minor involvement in the film, "Basically, I was an extra... That's how I felt."

He then further criticized Ratner's decisions on The Last Stand. Jones said, "Brett, for some reason, brought all these other characters on board that had one line each in the f***ing movie and it was a joke." However, Jones expressed that the role continues to appeal to him and that if there were another adaptation of the Juggernaut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, "I'd love a chance at putting it right. I really would. That is a stone that I need to turn over if I ever got that chance."

Matthew Vaughn was signed on to direct X-Men: The Last Stand but was forced to leave due to family issues. Ratner was signed on in his place. The film adapted the "Dark Phoenix Saga" and concluded the original X-Men trilogy before the soft-reboot X-Men: First Class was released. The Last Stand received mixed reviews and grossed $460 million on a budget of $210 million.
