In the vast expanse of cinematic universes, it's inevitable that some characters, despite their potential, receive less screen time than they deserve. In this regard, the next four performers and their respective characters might feel like fleeting shadows, intriguing but ephemeral. Instead of critiquing their limited presence, it’s fairer to recognize the missed opportunities and mark their performances as incomplete.

**Jason Flemyng as Azazel**  
Jason Flemyng brought to life Azazel, a character with a devilish demeanor and teleportation prowess. His brief appearances were enough to hint at a larger, more complex backstory that could have been explored. Flemyng's portrayal was compelling in the moments he was on screen, but those moments were too scarce to fully appreciate his talents or Azazel’s potential depth. Blink, and you might have missed the sinister smile or the flash of red skin that characterized this intriguing mutant.

**Billy Clements as the Russian**  
Billy Clements, stepping into the role of the Russian, added a layer of gritty realism to the film. His presence was noticeable, yet fleeting, leaving audiences wanting more. The Russian’s character had the potential to be a formidable foe, but with limited screen time, the full extent of his menace remained untapped. Clements' performance hinted at a backstory of strength and stoicism that unfortunately stayed just out of reach for the viewers.

**Dania Ramirez as Callisto**  
Dania Ramirez’s portrayal of Callisto introduced a character with enhanced speed and senses, along with a fierce demeanor. Her screen presence was dynamic, yet her appearances were so brief that the character never fully developed in the audience's eyes. Ramirez showed glimpses of a powerful and multifaceted mutant leader, but these glimpses were just that—too quick to form a lasting impression. The character of Callisto, as portrayed by Ramirez, deserved more than a cursory glance.

**Kelly Hu as Lady Deathstrike**  
Kelly Hu's turn as Lady Deathstrike brought a lethal combination of martial arts skills and adamantium claws to the screen. Her character exuded a silent, deadly aura that was both captivating and underutilized. Hu’s performance was visually striking, but Lady Deathstrike’s role in the story was far too limited to showcase the full extent of her capabilities. It was a tantalizing performance that hinted at much more beneath the surface, leaving viewers with a sense of incompleteness.

In conclusion, while these actors and their characters may not have had the chance to shine as brightly as they could have, their contributions were still valuable. Instead of a poor grade, they earn an 'incomplete'—a recognition of potential unrealized, but not unnoticed.
