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.
Theatrical Version 60.9 sec longer Alternate / Additional Footage Theatrical Version 93:48-94:03 / 110:45-111:00 Certainly, Kitty/Rogue take care of Wolverine. In between, two identical shots of Magneto and Professor X (no screenshots). no difference
94:46 / 111:43-111:47 Xavier makes himself comfortable among the other vets. 3.7 sec
Alternate / Additional Footage Theatrical Version 94:49-94:51 / 111:50-112:07 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." Rogue Cut 14.8 sec longer
96:43 / 113:59-114:04 Additional tracking shot from the bleachers across the collapsing stadium. In the commentary, it is pointed out that this shot had not been rendered yet for the Theatrical Version resp. it just got lost in process. 5.3 sec
Alternate / Additional Footage Theatrical Version 97:00-97:02 / 114:21-114:23 Again Kitty / Rogue holding a protecting hand over Wolverine's head. no difference
In the 101st/118th minute, there was supposed to be another extended scene with Nixon going to the window with his tape recorder. Singer and John Ottman admit in the commentary that this scene was left out in the Rogue Cut by accident. Alternate / Additional Footage Theatrical Version 104:18-104:20 / 121:39-121:41 Short additional shot of Rogue between the shots of Magneto and Professor X. In the Theatrical Version, an exclusive shot of Iceman follows the shot of Professor X. no difference
Alternate / Additional Footage Theatrical Version 104:28-104:32 / 121:49-121:51 In the Rogue Cut, Magneto gets dragged into the portal while this takes place after Blink fires off a shot in the Theatrical Version. Theatrical Version 2.1 sec longer
Alternate / Additional Footage Theatrical Version 104:48-104:49 / 122:07-122:10 The Theatrical Version contains a short shot of Iceman, the Rogue Cut shows Rogue and then Kitty. Rogue Cut 1.7 sec longer
Additional Footage Theatrical Version 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
Alternate / Additional Footage Theatrical Version 106:27-106:41 / 123:38-123:52 Kitty vs. Rogue. In between, identical shots of Professor X and Wolverine in the past. no difference
Alternate / Additional Footage Theatrical Version 107:07-107:16 / 124:18-124:27 Same here while Wolverine from the past keeps drowning. no difference
Additional Footage Theatrical Version 111:05-111:29 / 128:16 Since Iceman is already dead in the Rogue Cut, only the Theatrical Version shows the Sentinels approaching noisily and Iceman tries to lock the gate in the next room. + 24.2 sec
Alternate / Additional Footage Theatrical Version 113:59-114:10 / 130:46-130:54 The Theatrical Version (as resolution of the previous exclusive scene) now shows Iceman getting killed by the Sentinels. Professor X and Kitty are shocked. In the Rogue Cut, the Sentinels try to get into the heart of the structure but Professor X and Rogue pick up on that. Theatrical Version 2.6 sec longer
Digital Effect 114:20 / 131:04 Same shot but at the end of the tracking shot, Kitty has been digitally replaced by Rogue.
Alternate / Additional Footage Theatrical Version 114:22-114:39 / 131:06-131:23 Different shots of Kitty and Wolverine's treatment. After identical shot of Mystique and the Sentinel, another shot of Wolverine with Kitty/Rogue follows. Wolverine in the water and Hank is identical again, then the same old song. no difference
111:40 / 131:24-131:25 A further shot of Kitty under the table - exclusively in the Rogue Cut. 1 sec
Alternate / Additional Footage Theatrical Version / Digital Effect 114:51-114:58 / 131:36-131:43 After several identical shots, the next Kitty/Rogue differences. The following shot of the face is identical, followed by another digital alteration. no difference
124:28 / 141:13-141:30 After 2 minutes of end credits, they continue in the Theatrical Version. I the Rogue Cut, there is a long shot of Trask with a longer beard in Magneto's jail cell in between. 17.4 sec
