Rogue's return! Eagle-eyed fans spotted Anna Paquin's name listed in the credits of the X-Men: Days of Future Past trailer, which premiered online Tuesday
The True Blood actress was originally cut from a scene where she's held prisoner by mutant-hunting Sentinel robots at Xavier Mansion.
'Through the editing process, the sequence became extraneous,' director Bryan Singer told Entertainment Weekly back in December.
'It's a really good sequence and it will probably end up on the DVD so people can see it. But like many things in the editing process, it was an embarrassment of riches and it was just one of the things that had to go.'
The four-time Emmy nominee continued: 'Unfortunately, it was the one and only sequence Anna Paquin was in, the Rogue character was in. Even though she's in the materials and part of the process of making the film, she won't appear in it.
