Despite being a major financial and critical success for the studio, Fox still felt plenty of pressure from fans when it was announced that a major sub-plot involving Rogue would be completely dropped from last year's X-Men: Days of Future Past. The major sequence of this plot would involve a jailbreak in the future timeline to save Rogue from a Sentinel compound, which would apparently involve more action for Patrick Stewart's Professor X and Ian McKellen's Magneto. However, the announcement that the sequence would be brought back to life for the extended blu-ray release of the film, dubbed the 'Rogue Cut', had many wondering just how much it would add to the movie.
Luckily for fans, Empire Online has obtained specific details about the extended release via BBFC, revealing that the Rogue Cut will have a running time of 142 minutes and 37 seconds. This clocks in at 11 minutes and 11 seconds longer than the cut that was released in theatres. Clearly the sequence was a major part of the movie, and given that she was used heavily in the initial marketing, it makes sense that Rogue's role was much more extensive than the glorified cameo she received in the theatrical version.
However, Bryan Singer has also tweeted about the Rogue Cut, saying that it's even longer than Empire's report:
For the record the Rogue Cut of #Xmen #DOFP is more than 17 minutes longer than the original cut. And has a few little changes I made. :)
