X-Men: Days of Future Past follows the premise that the world of the original X-Men films has been all but destroyed by a war with prejudiced humans and the Sentinel robots. Cities have burned, the population has been decimated, and anyone who is a mutant, mutant sympathizer, or a human with the genetic marker to eventually have mutants in their family have been hunted down and put into prison camps or outright killed. To stop this war from ever having started, the X-Men make a last-ditch effort to send Logan back in time and change the past to fix the future.

The Rogue Cut is an alternate edition of the film. It added 17 minutes of previously unused footage, including a subplot involving Anna Paquin's character Rogue, whose role was reduced to a brief cameo in the theatrical release.

Due to Paquin's tight schedule while filming her series True Blood, her scenes were the first to be filmed, and later deemed not quite right for the final theatrical release. Along with Paquin's scenes, others cut and added back into The Rogue Cut include Erik breaking into the Pentagon to retrieve his helmet and Raven returning to the mansion before going to Washington.

For details on Rogue's role in this version of the film, see below. (Note that this story takes place many years after X3, placing Rogue in her early 30s.) [DoFP Wiki]
