X-Men: Days of Future Past

Comparison:

  • Theatrical Version
  • Rogue Cut
Release: Jul 22, 2015 - Author: Muck47 - Translator: Tony Montana - external link: IMDB
Alternate / Additional Footage Theatrical Version / Partially Recut
91:04-92:16 / 109:02-109:13

After discussing the plan, a different scene follows.


The Theatrical Version now shows Magneto entering the building, taking out the guards and getting his head - no intercuts or anything. A few shots are alternate, only those are being described and illustrated via screenshots.

Additional air-to-air shot of Washington plus the following rather close shot of Magneto at the hub starts slightly earlier. Therefore, the previous shot of that from the Rogue Cut is missing.
Also a brief moment longer in the Theatrical Version are the shots of him in the hallway, outside on the stairs and going around an interior corner.
Other shots are 100% identical. Since the shot of him opening the next door, the Rogue Cut lacks two shots.
There is also alternate footage when Magneto takes of his glasses.


The Rogue Cut contains a tracking shot of the exterior of the ship instead, including a twitching Sentinel hand. This implies that this is the reason what brings the Sentinels there later on. In the Theatrical Version, it appears the Sentinels are always capable of tracking our heroes.

Before the alternate take of Xavier reaching for his glasses, he talks to a vet next to him in the Rogue Cut. Here is another reference to X-Men: Days of Future Past.

The veteran introduces himself: "Fourth infantry... Took a Bouncing Betty. What happened to you?"
Xavier (after hesitating for a brief moment): "Friendly fire."
Veteran: "The worst kind."
Xavier: "Yeah."

104:59-105:09 / 122:20

Cut in the Rogue Cut: only the Theatrical Version contains a short cynical motivating dialog before Hank turns into Beast. In the Rogue Cut, that conversation (in variant form) already took place during the huge Rogue sequence which made it superfluous here.

Hank: "I'm probably not supposed to ask this kind of thing but in the future, do I make it?"
Wolverine: "No. But we can change that. Right?"

+ 10.1 sec
