It's from this interview at blackfilm.com, posted at the xverse.
Dania, what was the audition process like for you?
DR: What was interesting about it, like I said, I never watched X-Men 1 or 2 is that I had just came back from Thailand, and I was doing an independent film there and my agent called the casting director and said, "I want you to see this girl". So, I went in and X-Men is really top secret. We didn't get any sides in advance and we get there and you get a scene from the comic book and it's really hard stuff because it's not written by a screenwriter. At the time, they were casting the role of Stacy X and they had gone everywhere in the world to try to find this character and they couldn't find the right girl for it. So, I went and I walk in and Stacy X is white, blue eyes, blond hair and obviously not me, and I looked around and said to myself that there's no way that I would get this movie and why am I here?, but I still wanted to do a good job for the casting director, so I went in and did my thing. I booked a flight to New York, came to see my family and I get a call saying the director really loves my audition and would I come back in. I started to find out, my manager and everyone was really excited, and I was like, "Oh wow! It's a big movie, what's the big deal?" I went in and did the audition again, but again the character wasn't me and if you know Marvel Comics, they try to stay true to the character as possible, so I just wasn't a right fit for the character, but they really liked me, so they eventually found a character whose background was unknown and fitted that to me. The first month and a half that I was in Vancouver was figuring what my hair was going to be and what was going to work for that particular character and so we all found Callisto as we went along. But the time we shot, we knew who she was, but it was an interesting process.
Funny how Simon Kinberg dismissed that rumor like it was absolutley asanine to even remotely think that Stacy X could have been in the movie...
