Speaking with Variety, Paquin recently expressed her willingness to return to the role should the right opportunity arise. When asked if she would ever do another X-Men film, Paquin replied, "If there was a way that it made sense for my character to be in the world, of course." She went on to explain how such a return would be complicated, saying:

"I feel like [X-Men is] my film family, because I’ve been making those movies since I was 16. But there’s been so many spinoffs and reboots and TV shows, so I’m not sure where Rogue or the other original characters fit into the current plotlines, so it’s probably not going to happen."

Paquin certainly has a point. The X-Men films have diverged into many different plot lines over the years, at times focusing on the overarching ensemble films as well as more individualized stories such as Deadpool. While this has allowed for the X-Men film universe to greatly expand beyond what many likely anticipated in 2000, it has also made it less likely for actors and actresses from the original films to star in more films beyond this point.

Yet, nothing is set in stone for X-Men, and Paquin's willingness to return is an exciting factor for fans who were eager to see the "Rogue Cut" of Days of Future Past. Plus, with the release of X-Men characters with the MCU. At least for now, it is good to hear that Paquin views the franchise fondly and would be game for bringing Rogue back if the right story comes along.
