Page Didn’t Expect To Reprise Her Role as Kitty Pryde

Actress Ellen Page thought her days as Kitty Pryde were behind her.

That’s why she was pleasantly surprised when she was asked to reprise the role in the upcoming X-Men: Days of Future Past.

“I didn’t know for that long,” she told Collider. “I knew they were kind of doing it, but I didn’t expect it. I didn’t expect to play Kitty Pryde again, so when that came up and I met with Bryan [Singer], because I didn’t work with Bryan I worked with Brett Ratner, it was just awesome. I feel so grateful to be back… Really, truly, it’s not like something I’ve known for a year by any means. I really didn’t know that long before we went to shoot.”
