The news that there's one major deleted scene from X-Men: The Last Stand movie comes as a surprise to me as when I saw it yesterday at a Press screening it very much seemed to be there, or perhaps there in a toned down fashion.

The scene reportedly has Magneto issuing a Bin Laden style video demand.

From Sci Fi Wire comes the news of the scene from Brett Ratner himself:

"...you will probably see this on the DVD—my original concept for Magneto was to have him like Che Guevara when we first saw him, ... in military fatigues with a long beard because he has been in hiding," Ratner said in an interview here. "I actually did a shot where he was in that underground lair with the long beard, and he's sitting there, and Pyro [Aaron Stanford] comes in and says, 'They've announced a cure.' That's the one scene that's not in the movie that I shot, which was fun. But that's how we came up with the tape."

Interesting, because in the movie there's a very similar scene which had me quite surprised when I saw it. However it does appear that it has been somewhat toned down from the original concept. See what you think when you get to see the movie.
