Jennifer Lawrence is Mystique in X-Men: First Class
"When I got the part I dedicated a whole day to watching all three movies, and I really liked them. I was still a little worried, because I didn't really understand the whole mutant thing. But the script cleared some of my questions up, and knowing that James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender were already on board gave me confidence."
She had meetings with Vaughn and Co. in London this week. Today, it"s "I have to do 12 hours of prosthetics. Oh man.
"I have to take Mystique back to the beginning, before she became who we saw later. I don't know exactly what I can talk about, but this is going to be fun."
She says the prep work is physical, which knowing Mystique's image, we can believe. Gym time. How does she look in blue?
"NOBODY looks good blue. Well, maybe Zoe Saldana. I am very curious to see how I'm going to come off in that suit."

You mean the first Mystique, @The Fallen? Yeah. I agree with ya. Personally, X-Men was a good warm up for Marvel to get started. It was Spider-Man 1 that got Hollywood thinking of comic book movies again. Or so I think. Am I right or smok'en something, CBF?

Good news, but I am one of the few who did not like how Mystique looked. She was unattractive to me.

At this point I'm mostly waiting to hear the plot synopsis come together. I hope they keep the story fairly simple, because X3 had too much going on and too many characters. The idea of Havoc, Mystique, and Banshee being in the movie has me a little hesitant, because it seems to take the focus off the "original five". I guess Havoc could play into Scott Summers' back-story, but how much of the individual characters' origins are we going to see and how much is the film going to focus on the Charles/Eric relationship?

Nice. The cast is looking great. I have total faith in Vaughn for one simple reason: I could honestly care less. If the movie turns out to be a wonderful piece of cinema. Great. If it follows Rattner's footsteps into quality sh*t. Oh, well; I'm over it. ;P

I hope she does her homework. Rebecca Romijn really was amazing as Mystique

I agree, her predecessor looked just fine in her outfit! This flick could be a good one, at least it better be!
