Rogue Axed Out of X-Men

If you're a fan of the X-Men movies then you know that our beloved franchise was completely screwed by the third film in the original trilogy. I was extremely happy when it was announced that not only would the latest X film, "X-Men: Days of Future Past", feature the old school cast as well as the new but Bryan Singer would be back at the head of it all. Imagine my disappointment when Singer revealed that Rogue (played by True Blood's Anna Paquin) was being CUT OUT OF THE MOVIE. Apparently the action sequence that was being cut was Paquin's only appearance as the mutant who was central to the storyline in the first film. If you've been counting like I have we are now down three X-Men as Jean Grey and Cyclops were killed off in the movie that shall not be named. With Rogue gone a little of my hope for a great comeback goes with her. We'll have to wait until May 23, 2014 to find out.
