Speaking with MTV News at the red carpet premiere of her new film “Serena,” Lawrence confirmed in no uncertain terms that “Apocalypse” marks her final ride with the “X-Men” movies. “It is my last one, actually,” she said, with no further elaboration.
It’s not a shock to hear that Lawrence and “X-Men” are parting ways, even if it’s difficult to swallow; her work as Mystique has been one of the major highlights of the rebooted franchise ever since “X-Men: First Class.” But with the casting of new mutants Cyclops, Jean Grey and Storm, and the time-altering ending of “Days of Future Past,” it sure seems like a new era of “X-Men” is about to begin, while the reign of James McAvoy’s Xavier, Michael Fassbender’s Magneto, Nicholas Hoult’s Beast and Lawrence’s Mystique draws to its natural end.
