2 4 Vinnie Jones' 20th Century Fox Juggernaut X-Men: The Last Stand Close The first actor to portray Juggernaut in a movie was Vinnie Jones, who took on the role in X-Men: The Last Stand (2006). Known for his imposing physical presence and tough-guy persona, Jones brought a unique blend of menace and charisma to the character. Before becoming Juggernaut, Jones had established himself as a go-to actor for rugged, hard-edged roles, often portraying criminals and enforcers. His notable film credits include Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998) and Snatch (2000), both directed by Guy Ritchie.
Vinnie Jones's Juggernaut in X-Men: The Last Stand is perhaps best remembered for the iconic line, "I'm the Juggernaut, b****!" This line, delivered with brute force and a touch of humor, quickly became a memorable quotation and was the subject of a popular internet parody. X-Men: The Last Stand is also notable for changing Juggernaut’s powers to be a mutant ability, rather than magical as depicted in the comics.
The movie also gave Juggernaut a self-aware sense of humor, which was another departure from the comics. Regardless, Jones’s Juggernaut was an intimidating presence that starred in some of the movie’s most memorable scenes as a member of Magneto's Brotherhood. Indeed, Vinnie Jones was asked to reprise his role as Juggernaut for Deadpool & Wolverine.
Vinnie Jones unfortunately declined the offer to appear in Deadpool & Wolverine. He stated that the physical demands of the costume were too taxing for what seemed like a brief appearance. Nevertheless, the Juggernaut eventually used in Deadpool & Wolverine was based on the design from The Last Stand. Despite not returning to the franchise, Vinnie Jones's portrayal of Juggernaut has certainly left a mark on X-Men's cinematic history.
