Storm Cameo Cut from 'Wolverine'

From: GetTheBigPicture.net

When she appeared briefly in the trailer, it was worth wondering how substantial a part she'd play in the movie. Apparently, however, we won't need to worry about it anymore. Producer Lauren Shuler Donner told Widescreen Vision (via Worst Previews) that a cameo by fellow X-Men member Storm has been cut from this summer's Wolverine. You can listen to the interview here.
"She was a little part of the movie. She is no longer in it," Donner confirmed. But there is life for Storm after the fact: "We'll show in the DVD scenes that were not included, but there weren't really that many."

We know why Marvel would want more X-Men in the film; the more branches on the tree of their comic book franchises, the better. So I wonder why such a minor role was cut, particularly if they're just building for future appearances?

On another note, Donner says the film is still being edited, but we won't need to worry about another Dark Knight in terms of length. Wolverine is "way under two hours."
