Newsarama has spotted a recent report in a South Korean newspaper revealing that singer and actor Rain has been forced to drop out of X-Men: Dark Phoenix. It was his co-star in Uhm Bok-dong Lee Beom Soo who made the revelation when he mentioned that the actor had to drop out of the Marvel project.
Apparently, that's down to X-Men: Dark Phoenix shooting in July and that South Korean movie will be filming well into August. Annoyingly, no details on who Rain is supposed to play have been revealed.
Rain has appeared in Speed Racer, Ninja Assassin, and The Prince, so chances are it would have been more than just a minor role. There are any number of characters he could have been in the running for and it will be interesting to see who replaces him. X-Men: Dark Phoenix will likely be directed by Simon Kinberg and is going to be released next November. Who do you guys think Rain could be playing?
