The cameo appearance of Storm has been cut off from "X-Men Origins: Wolverine". In an interview with Widescreen Vision, producer Lauren Shuler Donner revealed that though the weather-controlling mutant is actually planned to have screen time in form of her younger version, her part has to be left out from the film.
"She was a little part of the movie, she is no longer in it," Donner explained. "But she was in a village where they visited - the movie [has been] edited and that particular character did not make that scene." Despite the producer's remark on the cameo, Hit Fix reported that there is a strong chance the Storm scene has made it back into the film due to last-minute changes done by director Gavin Hood.
Meanwhile, on how long the movie will be, the producer of "Constantine" said, "The movie is not done yet, it's way under two hours but we are still editing. We will show on the DVD the scenes that were not included but there are not really that many."
"X-Men Origins: Wolverine" itself chronicles the events leading to "X-Men". It follows the story of Wolverine and focuses on his epically violent and romantic past, his complex relationship with Victor Creed, and the ominous Weapon X program. Starring Hugh Jackman as the titular character, the film is directed by Gavin Hood.
Featuring also Liev Schreiber as Sabretooth, Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, Lynn Collins as Silver Fox, Taylor Kitsch as Gambit and will.i.am as Kestrel, the 20th Century Fox action fantasy film will be heading to U.S. theaters on May 1.
