THE WOLVERINE<\/a> co-writer Mark Bomback<\/strong> revealed to Creative Screenwriting<\/a> that Anna Paquin’s Rogue<\/strong> was originally a character he wanted in the film, although he couldn’t fully justify her place in the film. Calling her inclusion “very goofy,” the writer explains why he ultimately decided to leave her out of his script.<\/p>\n “I love Rogue and I just think that there\u2019s something about this idea that Rogue is tremendously empathetic but incapable of safe human contact,” said Bomback. “That always moved me and I thought that\u2019s what really got to the heart of what makes the X-Men franchise so unique. So I was trying to do something with Rogue in the script. I even had a set of ideas that the old man possessed a version of Rogue\u2019s power and that was going to be indicated by a white stripe in his hair. Eventually it became very goofy, and I threw it out because I started realizing throughout the script that it became more problematic than cool.<\/p>\n “It\u2019s no accident to me that in the first X-Men film the first two mutants that you really see who have a connection are Wolverine and Rogue. There\u2019s something special between them, so I was trying to bring Rogue into it, but it just didn\u2019t get there. I regretted there wasn\u2019t a way to figure it out, but when I look at the film now, it would have stuck out if we tried to shoehorn her in there just because it was another character from the universe.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" THE WOLVERINE co-writer Mark Bomback revealed to Creative Screenwriting that Anna Paquin’s Rogue was originally…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1043,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[15,34],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21002","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-crew-talk","category-the-wolverine"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21002","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=21002"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21002\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=21002"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=21002"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=21002"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
