The Nevada man who claimed “X-Men” director Bryan Singer sexually abused him as a teen has dropped his lawsuit in Hawaiian federal court.

Michael F. Egan III, 32, had the bombshell suit, which he filed in April, dismissed without prejudice, meaning the former child model could file the suit again at a later date.

Last month, Egan’s case appeared to be losing steam after he split ways with attorney Jeff Herman. He claims in court filings that the suit could be filed in the future if he finds a lawyer to represent him.

The suit caused a firestorm of publicity when they went public with the accusations some four months ago.

Dan Steinberg/AP Bryan Singer denied the allegations but dropped out of the press tour for the latest installment of the ‘X-Men’ films he directed.

Egan and Herman claimed Singer, 48, was part of a “sordid sex” ring that preyed on vulnerable teen boys in the late 1990s.

The original lawsuit – which came shortly before a trio of nearly identical filings against three other high-profile Hollywood figures – claimed Singer sexually assaulted Egan when he was underage and attending notorious drug and alcohol-fueled household parties in Los Angeles and Hawaii.

Singer quickly denied the accusations, saying he wasn’t even in Hawaii at the time of the abuse alleged in the complaint.

Still, Singer dropped out of the press tour for his latest “X-Men” movie, which opened in May and already has grossed more than $ 740 million worldwide.

“The allegations against me are outrageous, vicious and completely fake. I do not want these pretended claims to divert ANY attention from ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past,’” Singer said in a statement obtained by The News.
