Other mistake: During the standoff between the aliens and the mutants on the train, Jones tells the mutants to stand down, to which Beast defiantly replies with "No." When he says this, you can hear Nicholas Hoult's English accent slip through.

Trivia: Ryan Reynolds posted a deleted scene on his social media in late August 2024, showing that Gambit survived Alioth's attack. While walking around Cassandra Nova's lair and the bodies of her defeated minions, Gambit turned around to see a portal opening, presumably to take him to his own universe or to allow him to enter the Sacred Timeline. Some of this can be seen blurrily in the background of the TVA at the end of the movie.

Trivia: Rob McElhenney, who co-owns Wrexham A.F.C. with Ryan Reynolds, filmed a cameo scene as one of the TVA's Minutemen. He said on his social media that he traveled 6 thousand miles to film his cameo, only to learn upon watching the film that his cameo had been cut. Reynolds would later clarify that his cameo was cut because the sequence wasn't working the way they had constructed it.

Trivia: The character in Cassandra Nova's forces wearing the red-and-white-striped shirt is The Russian, who was portrayed by Kevin Nash in 2004's The Punisher. Nash said he was fine with another actor playing the role in this film, as he isn't as interested in appearing in movies anymore because of his age. Tyler Mane, who plays Sabretooth, was actually a professional wrestling tag team partner of Kevin Nash. Nash himself was offered the role of Sabretooth in X-Men, but couldn't accept it.
