Using #AskKinberg, one question asks why Anna Paquin&#8217;s <strong>Rogue<\/strong> was cut from the film. Kinberg explains&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not for any reason other than we had a lot of story to tell,&#8221; he says. &#8220;Anna was fantastic in the movie &#8211; Rogue&#8217;s one of my favorites characters &#8211; and I really liked the sub-plot that we shot with her. But in a movie that had a ton of plots and a ton of characters to service, the Rogue plot &#8211; as you will probably eventually see &#8211; was sort of a deviation from the main story of the movie.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As much as we all loved it, when we saw it&#8230;anything that takes you away from the main spine, the main story of the film, we had to cut. And it wasn&#8217;t just Rogue&#8217;s story, there were other scenes and moments we loved but they weren&#8217;t servicing the main story well enough. So if it&#8217;s anybody fault, it is mine because I shouldn&#8217;t have written it that way. I should have integrated her into the main story and I learned my lesson the hard way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned for highlights from the Q&#038;A all this week.
