Unused San Fransisco Destruction and Juggernaut X-MEN: THE LAST STAND Concept Art by Dean Sherriff

X-Men: The Last Stand (2006) concept art by Dean Sherriff
Check out X-Men: The Last Stand concept art by Dean Sherriff!

The third X-Men movie got mixed reviews but, as I've shown in concept art by Adrien Van Viersen, the ending scene with Jean Grey\ Dark Phoenix' attacking San Fransisco was supposed to be much bigger. Recently, I came across some artwork by one of the artists on the film that shows how truly massive, and expensive, it could have been.

Dean Sherriff is a professional concept artist who's worked on major films like Fantastic Four (2007), After Earth (2013) and Watchmen (2009).

Click on the images to enlarge.

This one shows San Fransisco turned upside-down or "inverted"

Here are some illustrations of Magneto's moving the bridge



Here are some shots of what Juggernaut's prison almost looked like. But first, here's what it looked like in the film.





As a bonus, here's another look at what could have been the Danger Room from X2 (2003)


You can get hi-res versions of these images here.
