X-Men: Days of Future Past‘s extended DVD and Blu-ray will be released this summer, but more importantly, an additional 11 minutes of footage will be added, due to Anna Paquin’s character, Rogue, being put back in the movie.

Back when Days of Future Past hit theaters, fans were disappointed to hear that Anna Paquin’s scenes were cut from the film, but there was some hope after Fox announced that an extended edition was set to be released in summer 2015.

Variety reported that we’ll be seeing a Rogue storyline in the extended edition DVD/Blu-ray, which could see 10 minutes of footage showing the original storyline that Anna Paquin had filmed.

Now we know from the horse’s mouth that there will be 11 minutes of footage, which will include Rogue, as well as some other characters that weren’t cut entirely from the film.

Collider spoke with Simon Kinberg at Wondercon, and he said, “The biggest chunk we took out of the film from first cut to final cut was the Rogue plot. And that was the sub-plot that has now been well-publicized, but that I created, not actually to bring Rogue into the movie, though that was a wonderful consequence, but more that I wanted to have, and this was in the early script phase, I wanted a mission for old Charles and old Erik, for Magneto and Xavier to go off on a mission together.”

Simon Kinberg obviously knows that the fans were disappointed that Rogue was cut from the film, so it looks like they’re making a solid effort to get her character back in the film so that fans can see the original storyline that was cut from the theatrical release.

Kinberg went on to explain why Rogue didn’t make the film’s final cut, saying, “Just to see what that would look like. I mean, truly, seriously, it was like, ‘What would it be like to have Patrick and Ian on a road trip together?’ And that was kind of, you know, it got condensed as I wrote it and then when we shot it, but it was just a sub-plot. It was a perfectly good sub-plot and people will see it one day, and Anna was great in it and it was well-directed.”

Kingberg continued, “It just didn’t serve the overall story. And it didn’t, it never did, it was created outside the core story. As a result, when you watched the movie, you were like, ‘Why are we on this detour, on a movie that already has two time periods, two types of Sentinels, 10-12 main characters, just as a lark?’ And so it ended up getting cut.”

It appears as though the extended edition won’t be just about adding some Rogue scenes back into the film, which is exciting, as Days of Future Past had some pretty interesting subplots and storylines, so we’ll be interested to find out what will be included.

The BBFC (British MPAA) has rated the extended cut as a 12, and now lists the film’s runtime as 142 minutes and 37 seconds, which would be, somewhat weirdly, 11 minutes and 11 seconds longer than the film’s original 131-minute release.

X-Men: Days of Future Past’s extended edition will be released in summer 2015, and the theatrical DVD/Blu-ray was released on October 2014.
