One of our favourite pastimes in blockbuster season is not finding out what was put into the movies but what ended up on the cutting room floor, and it sounds like X-Men: Apocalypse has its share of fascinating outtakes.

Writer Simon Kinberg has admitted that we were almost treated to a scene where Kodi Smit-McPhee's Nightcrawler kicks out some wild dancing moves, although those rumours that Taylor Swift was going to play mutant popstar Dazzler were apparently unfounded.

"Taylor Swift was never Dazzler, that was just us going to a concert that was misconstrued, but um, what it did have that I miss desperately, and it will be on the DVD I'm sure, but it was a moment when Nightcrawler, there was a group of breakdancers in the mall, and Nightcrawler starts breakdancing with the breakdancers," he told Collider.

We can't begin to understand why they would cut that out.

And it turns out they filmed a scene where Lana Condor's Jubilee got to use her powers instead of just doing... er... nothing in the movie.

"We do have a moment where Jubilee uses her powers that you'll see on the DVD," director Bryan Singer told Fandango. " I wanted more Jubilee."

So it sounds like the X-Men: Apocalypse DVD will be something worth waiting for, then. In the meantime, you can check out the cut without either of these things in cinemas now.
