"X-Men: Days of Future Past" star Jennifer Lawrence is dishing on her character Mystique's fate in the upcoming film.
Lawrence told The Hollywood Reporter during a red carpet interview Mystique's life is undetermined. With the film's time travel aspect, Mystique could decide to join forces with Professor X instead of Magneto.
"This time because the future is undetermined, we have freedom to choose where we want to go with her," Lawrence said. "Is she going to become the assassin that we know her as now, like Rebecca Romijn's character? Or is she going to do what Charles [Xavier] wants and go down the path of no killing?"
There have been rumors of a Mystique-led film. According to Yahoo, "Days of Future Past" writer-producer Simon Kinberg claims there is interest in Mystique solo film, but can't confirm if Marvel will green-light the production.
"I have no idea if there will be a Mystique spinoff," Kinberg told Yahoo at a WonderCon presentation. "We got Jen's makeup [application] down from I think seven or eight hours on 'X-Men: First Class' to about three or four on this film, which is pretty awful but at least it's not torture. On the last film, I think she'd have to get there sometimes at midnight the night before we shot and sit in that makeup trailer and I guess just sleep until we started. This was more bearable and we were more conscious of when she was blue not having her sit around."
"She's great and there are so many different ways you could go with the character and a lot of story to tell," Kinberg said. "Part of the challenge of these movies we're talking about is to give everybody enough drama to play, so the notion of Jen being the lead in her own movie is interesting."
"X-Men: Days of Future Past" will be release to theaters on May 23.
