X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST<\/a> writer and producer, Simon Kinberg<\/strong> revealed to The Q&A Podcast<\/a> that Rachel Summers<\/a><\/strong>, alternate future daughter of Scott Summers and Jean Grey, was the one to originally send Wolverine back in the past, a character who shares the same role in the original comic book<\/a> arc. Kinberg explains the switching of the character for Kitty Pryde.<\/p>\n “Rachel was in the first draft of the script of this. In fact it was Rachel that sent Wolverine back in the first draft of my script,” says Kinberg. “And I had Storm having this kind of complicated relationship with her because she’s the orphan of Jean, who’s Storm’s friend, who’s dead, and Scott, who was Storm’s friend, who’s dead. And more than anything — and this is a movie I had to do this a lot on — I had to do a hypertext introduction to a character. Let me just give you the Wiki pages on who Scott is and who Jean is, and they’re not in this scene, but everybody’s going to have to talk about them. And then there’s going to be somebody who’s upset because her parents are gone…anyway, it just seemed more complicated than it was worth for a movie that already had a lot of drama and a lot of complication.”<\/p>\n He continues, “I don’t remember at what point in the process I switched it to Kitty but what I thought was, it’s a bit of a cheat because it’s not really her power, but the way I was explain it if I really was attacked is that there’s secondary powers that a lot of the mutants have in the X-Men universe — secondary powers that evolve and emerge later in life. So who’s to say that Kitty — who is capable of touching people and having them phase with her through space, why can’t it be that they also phase through time if she evolves her powers?”<\/p>\n
