Davison Confirms X2 Role
Bruce Davison, who played Sen. Kelly in X-Men, confirmed to SCI FI Wire that he will make an appearance in the upcoming sequel, X2. "I'm going up [to Vancouver] to do something in X-Men 2," Davison said. "Sen. Kelly, they're going to rejuvenate him."
Kelly melted into a puddle of goo in the first X-Men. So how will he return? "Well, I can't tell you that," Davison said. But he did say that it was important to have a character like Kelly in the superhero film, because "it's sort of the human voice of melted reason."
In the first film, Kelly took a hard stance against mutants. This time around, Davison said that would change. "He is one, isn't he?" Davison said coyly. X2 is currently in production, aiming for a May 2, 2003, release.

I am glad this character is returning, I think he brought an interesting perspective to the mutants v normals situation presented in the first movie. I don't read the comics, so I don't know if the character exists there, and I can't predict whether he is going to come out on the side of the X-Men or not.
