Anna Paquin Return For “X-Men: First Class” in Action Scene

anna-paquin-return-for-x-men-first-class-in-action-scene Celebrity actress Anna Paquin, who played Rogue in the first three movies of X-Men showing interest in doing another X-Men movie as well – in this case, the upcoming X-Men: First Class.

Paquin told IGN that she would like to return as Rogue, possibly in X-Men: First Class, but with certain conditions:

I would hope I could do a little bit more action next time, though. I kind of find it ironic that I did three big action films and did, actually, no action whatsoever. I mean I got some really amazing emotional story moments, but I didn’t really get to do the physical stuff. You know, as much as I loved doing those films I was kind of like, ‘OK, so when do I get to beat someone up? When do I get to steal some powers?’ You know Sookie [Paquin's True Blood character] gets to do more action than Rogue ever did. So I’m just putting that out there. More action please, for next time.

The X-Men: First Class comic book concerned the original X-Men characters of Cyclops, Beast, Iceman, Angel, and Jean Grey, but the movie could follow some of the lesser used characters from the X-Men trilogy such as Jubilee, Colossus, Angel, Shadowcat and Paquin’s Rogue. X-Men Origins: Wolverine, however, featured a young Cyclops (Tim Pocock) and seemed to set up a First Class that would feature Emma Frost, Quicksilver, and Cyclops.

Josh Schwartz (The OC) is writing the screenplay for First Class. No director has been announced yet.

While Paquin seems willing to return to the “X-Men” franchise, it remains to be seen whether or not the franchise is ready to return to her. Producer Lauren Shuler Donner has said that “First Class” will focus on the yesteryear exploits of young Cyclops, Jean Grey and Beast, leaving Rogue’s potential involvement in the project a tad murky.

But even if “First Class” doesn’t have room for Rogue, there are still “X-Men” actors that would love to play opposite her — namely Taylor Kitsch, who portrayed Gambit in “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” and recently expressed his desire to work with Paquin.
