Nitpicking promotional multimedia at times pays off because some fan apparently spotted a young Storm in the "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" trailer, and WIDESCREEN VISION has found out that it is merely a future DVD extra.
Producer Lauren Shuler Donner on Feb. 10 confirmed that Storm was in the film in a village that Hugh Jackman's Wolverine and his Weapon X team visit, but that this scene will no longer be included in the May 1 theatrical release. She also said the scene will be featured on the DVD as one of a few others that were cut.
Another future member of the X-Men has also long since been confirmed to appear in the film as a Weapon X captive, a young Cyclops (Tim Pocock). He might be in one of those cages Wolverine nicks with his claws in the trailer.
Maybe the young Storm scene was cut to keep fans from pointing out the major age disparity between she and the actor who portrays Cyclops. They appear to be close in age in 2000's "X-Men."
The extent of interaction between Wolverine and Cyclops remains unclear given that they do not remember each another in "X-Men." Yet, this might not be relevant inasmuch as he does not remember anything about the Weapon X project at this point.
In case anyone missed it, William Stryker's son Jason is also featured in the "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" trailer frozen in a block of ice. This is probably because his father knows no other way to handle his mind-controlling mutant son.
But does this photo still take place before or after Stryker consults Charles Xavier in order to find a cure for Jason's mutation?
