Fox lucked out by casting an on-the-rise Ellen Page as Kitty Pryde in X-Men: The Last Stand, recasting her since the previous film's Katie Stuart. While The Last Stand remains one of the franchise's considerable low points, Page's Pryde is one of the film's highlights.

Page would reprise the role for Days of Future Past, fudging her power set to send Logan back in time to the 1970s, which Fox and Bryan Singer would use as an excuse to recast each and every one of the X-Men not yet affected by First Class.
