Fox’s X-Men franchise notorious for leaving choice material on the cutting room floor, especially after Wolverine’s comic book costume made a cameo deleted scene appearance on the Wolverine Blu-ray Disc release. The next franchise film, Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Days of Future Past, quickly became infamous for the X-Men: Days of Future Past Rogue Cut that was openly discussed prior to the film’s theatrical release.
Earlier today the British Board of Film Classification revealed a new cut of the film runs 142 minutes and 37 seconds. That works out to roughly 11 minutes longer than the X-Men: Days of Future Past theatrical cut run time.
However, in lieu of this news that swarmed around the Internet throughout the day, Singer took to Twitter and clarified that his X-Men: Days of Future Past Rogue Cut length was actually more than 17 minutes longer and includes a few other “little changes” the director made.
Here’s the tweet:

The X-Men: Days of Future Past Rogue Cut will include a fight sequence featuring Rogue (Anna Paquin) that was removed entirely from the theatrical cut. Without the sequence, Rogue was barely visible in the film.
We still don’t know when Fox Home Entertainment plans on releasing the X-Men: Days of Future Past Rogue Cut on Blu-ray and DVD. I’m thinking it will arrive this summer as a home video compliment to all the big Marvel movies arriving in theaters. We’ll bring you the official announcement as soon as it is made.
