Jennifer Lawrence 'X-Men' Update: 'Apocalypse' Will be Her Last Movie as Mystique
The stunning Jennifer Lawrence is gearing to leave her X-Men character, Mystique, once she finishes shooting the latest installment in the franchise, X-Men: Apocalypse, according to reports.
'It's my last one,' the Oscar winner told MTV during a screening of her new movie Serena.
The 24-year-old actress said she'll no longer be seen as the blue shapeshifting mutant Raven Darkholm/Mystique after the movie's release on May 27.
According to a Variety report, Jennifer Lawrence's character Mystique is set to get more screen time than in the previous movies of the franchise.
"The relationship between Beast and Mystique is a really interesting one that we didn't have a lot of time to explore in 'Days of Future Past' so we'll have an opportunity to do more of that in 'Apocalypse,'" said screenwriter Simon Kinberg.
"Part of what's really interesting about Mystique's character is that she is, in some ways, the child of both Erik and Charles," Kinberg added. "She grew up with Charles and then she sort of became a woman with Erik, so her being the cross-pollination, if you will, of those two philosophies and those two men is something we can explore in the movie, too."
"X-Men: Apocalypse" will also star series regulars including James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Nicholas Hoult and Rose Byrne, plus Oscar Isaac and Kodi Smit-McPhee, both new to the franchise.
X-Men: Apocalypse is slated to hit theaters May 27, 2016.
