Bryan Singer Announces X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST – THE ROGUE CUT Release Date

The X-Men: Days Of Future Past – Rogue Cut will arrive in stores on Blu-ray/DVD on July 14th, which is a significant date in the history of the franchise as its also the date the original X-Men film premiered in the year 2000. Director Bryan Singer went on to tease the new cut, which will include about 17-20 minutes of new footage, now including Anna Paquin’s scenes as fan favorite mutant Rogue and also including new scenes with Jennifer Lawrence’s Mystique and Nicholas Hoult’s Beast, amongst others. He didn’t say much more, but he did take us on a quick tour of a steel mill set made for the currently shooting X-Men: Apocalypse that he says Michael Fassbender’s Magneto is going to have some serious fun at.

Bryan Singer Teases X-MEN DAYS OF FUTURE PAST’s Rogue Cut Run-time

Earlier this week, Digital Spy reported that the extended Rogue (Anna Paquin) cut of 20th Century Fox’s X-Men: Days of Future Past would have additional 11 minutes and 11 seconds of footage, but director Bryan Singer has revealed that number isn’t accurate.

Singer tweeted, “For the record the Rogue Cut of X-Men: Days of Future Past is more than 17 minutes longer than the original cut. And has a few little changes I made.”

Fans can expect to see more scenes set in the future involving Magneto (Ian McKellen) and Professor Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart) going to rescue Rogue from the Sentinel-controlled mutant prison camps.

The Rogue Extended Cut of X-Men: Days of Future Past is expected to be released in the summer of 2015.

X-MEN DAYS OF FUTURE PAST’s Rogue Cut Adds 11 Minutes

The new cut restores the Rogue-centric action sequence that was cut from the film’s theatrical relese in order to keep the story more focused. The scene is said to involve Magneto (Ian McKellen) and Iceman (Shawn Ashmore) mounting a rescue mission to free Rogue (Anna Paquin) from the Sentinel-controlled mutant prison camps. Paquin was eventually only seen in the closing scene of the movie, alongside some other surprises from 20th Century Fox’s original trilogy.

The total running time of the film – including the unseen footage – is 142 minutes, 37 seconds.

The British Board of Film Classification has given the new version of the film a 12 certificate, but a date has yet to be confirmed for the DVD and Blu-ray release.
