Although there is no movement in favor of the premiere of a director’s cut, Hugh Jackman assured that the first X-Men movie had 47 minutes cut
In 2000 director Bryan Singer delivered one of the defining films of the modern era of superhero cinema with X-Men, one of Marvel’s most popular titles. Although X-Men became a success, Hugh Jackman says that the final edition of X-Men was 47 minutes away.

In an interview with Collider, when questioning which movie in his career was different from what was filmed than what was presented in the final edit, Jackman stated that in X-Men many scenes were removed from the final cut.
“But a week before it came out, I think it was 47 more minutes … What we filmed, I remember saying, ‘What happened to that scene and that character?’ That movie, as far as I can remember, is about 100 minutes long, I think. It was much longer… it was definitely a big surprise for me. “

Thanks to the X-Men, Marvel went ahead with their plans to present their characters on the big screen, but Jackman remembers that some people in Hollywood claimed that the X-Men would become a huge failure.
“I remember people I knew in Hollywood, not my agent, or Patrick or anyone in the studio, but two or three other people who were in the know… They said, ‘Make sure you get another job. It is said on the street that (the X-Men) are being viewed as a failure. And it’s OK. At the moment, you’re the star of a Hollywood movie ‘… Tell them it’s a comic. That does not mean anything‘”.
X-Men managed to gross 296 million dollars at the box office, tripling the amount invested in said film, so 20th Century Fox and Marvel did not hesitate to produce subsequent sequels, in addition to the fact that Hugh Jackman played Wolverine for 17 more years.
