The expanded cut of the movie, which features more than 17 minutes of extra material, largely centering on the characters of Rogue (Anna Paquin) and Magneto (Sir Ian McKellen) in a bleak alternate future, was originally announced as a potential digital exclusive but now is expected to be released on DVD and Blu-ray as well.
