I was doing some research and found that Angel was strongly written into X2, and that his, along with Marrows skeleton x-rays can be seen in the Weapon X labs. He had this great write into the script:
And this was also interesting:
HAYTER: Angel's been cut from both movies.
DOUGHERTY: He did make it in the second film. When you go into the Weapon X lab, you see his X-rays in the background. And there's cameos there, too. Sabretooth has his X-Ray in there, as well as Marrow.
But, really, they were already kind of in there. The only really new element we added as far as characters go was Deathstrike. But as far developing those characters, it was really a matter of taking what Dave and Bryan had already done and then just revise and revise and revise, so that those relationships just became more firm.

How do you guys like that story as opposed to the way he's seemingly being handled in The Last Stand?
QUESTION: Michael, what kinds of things did you have to cut?
DOUGHERTY: The hard thing is being the guy that has to watch a lot of things get cut. As I said before, Angel. He actually became a really good character. I know a lot of people complain that Cyclops was barely in the movie, but he was supposed to be in the movie more.
He was going to wake up in Stryker's facility in a prison cell. And he's going to hear a voice in the next cell over. And he was going to start talking to this mutant prisoner. And finally he asks him what's his name. And he finds out it's Warren. And we were never going to see him. You were just going to see his eyes.
And eventually they pull of this escape and he blows the wall open and we realize it's Angel. And it was this great sequence.
We find out about Warren. He was a kid that when his parents found out he was a mutant, had him sent off to get fixed, to get corrected. And he woke up in this experimental facility instead. And that was really tragic.
By the time we came aboard, I think the Sentinels were down to a cameo.
