The DVDCommentary said that a poll was taken on set about whether she should take the cure or not. Once it was chosen, there were two options, them holding hands or kissing. Test screenings with the executives' daughters and some studio female employees led to the former, mostly because for avoiding the inherent sexualization in the latter.

** According to an [[http://blogs.coventrytelegraph.net/thegeekfiles/2009/11/x2-scribe-michael-dougherty-de.html interview with Michael Dougherty]] (the screenwriter of ''Film/X2XMenUnited''), his vision for ''The Last Stand'' was vastly different, and would have included the Phoenix/Jean being a cosmic force that attacks various locations across the world (and chooses to leave of her ownpage]]volition at the end of the film), Cyclops building the Danger Room as a way to cope with his guilt and make the team stronger, and Rogue coming to terms with who she is and choosing ''not'' to take the cure.
** In Creator/BryanSinger's plan for the film, Cyclops and Jean would have been the center, and they would have been entangled in a three-way war for Phoenix's control between the X-Men, the Brotherhood of Mutants and the Hellfire Club. The last of those would have been directed by an older ComicBook/EmmaFrost (played by Creator/SigourneyWeaver), while the first one would have added ComicBook/{{Gambit}} (Creator/KeanuReeves) and Dazzler (Northern Irish-Canadian country singer Beverley Mahood) as new members. Similarly, Creator/KellyHu would have possibly returned as Lady Deathstrike, who would have been revealed to be alive after the events of the previous film. At the end, Jean would have committed suicide to save them all by telekinetically forcing Scott to look at her and then removing his visor, and after her death she would have turned into a divine being a la ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey''.
** In Matthew Vaughn's vision, the X-Men were much more active during the cure storyline, to the extent that Beast and Rogue broke into Worthington' Labs in order to investigate it. Also, Storm and Wolverine would be in a sexual relationship.
** Even after Singer's plan was scrapped, the role of Gambit remained in the film for a long time. He would have been rumoredly played by Creator/ChanningTatum and would have served as a romantic rival to Bobby, similar to how Kitty was one for Rogue. However, Fox was already concocting ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'' and wanted Gambit for that film, so he was erased from the script.
** There was an unfilmed [[http://www.blastr.com/2013-3-4/x-men-3-storyboards-show-action-packed-sentinel-scene-we-never-got-see Danger Room sequence]] where Bobby and Kitty are training and are then supposedly blasted to pieces by Sentinels, only to sit up as (projected) skeletons as the team looks on.
** Despite Creator/AlanCumming's discomfort with the prosthetic makeup, he was willing to return in this film as Nightcrawler, but he was written out due to Fox realising that it wasn't worthwhile to pay for the long and costly makeup process as the character's role in the film was going to be very minimal.
** Creator/BrettRatner wanted to appease the fans by ditching the black leather costumes from the previous movies and replacing them with something more colorful, but the rushed production schedule prevented this. That's why there's a single scene where Storm can be seen wearing a [[http://i.imgur.com/2gFMcJJ.jpg brighter blue uniform]].
** The final film had a large amount of footage cut from it, some of which still hasn't been released in any form. There was much more footage of supporting mutants like Psylocke and Colossus (who not only had a fight with Juggernaut, but even confronted Magneto at one point before being tossed aside by him), and several extra endings, including a rumored one where Pyro returns to the school after being presumed missing in the final cut.
** The scene with Bobby and Kitty ice skating on the frozen pond after [[spoiler:Xavier's funeral]] originally ended with them kissing. The kiss was dropped because several members of the production crew were disturbed by it, since (as stated on the DVD) Shawn Ashmore looked much older than Creator/ElliotPage.
** The Golden Gate bridge sequence was to only happen in the middle of the film - with Magneto breaking Mystique out of Alcatraz. He then would have marched on the White House, intending to take control there. Brett Ratner felt that the Golden Gate Bridge sequence was more exciting as a climax, and relocated Worthington Labs from DC to Alcatraz.
** The scene in which Magneto gets his powers back while playing chess on a park went through several versions. In the original, he was playing with a stranger who was revealed to be Xavier in another man's body, but as Creator/PatrickStewart and Creator/IanMcKellen were unavailable to play the scene together, it was scrapped. In the next version, the stranger was Mystique, who would have been recovered her powers through a special drug she would pass to Magneto.
