Jennifer Lawrence is doing another X-Men movie, but she's not very happy about it. The actress told Entertainment Weekly for the magazine's first look at the upcoming Dark Phoenix that she didn't plan on playing Mystique ever again after X-Men: Apocalypse, but director Simon Kinberg roped her into doing it.

"I kinda fucked myself," she joked. In the series, Lawrence plays Mystique, a mutant with scaly blue skin. Though Mystique's mutation allows her to transmogrify into other humans, her natural form is blue. This means that the role requires some heavy-duty makeup. It's the makeup that gets Lawrence.

"I love these movies — it’s just the paint," she told EW during a set visit in 2015.

I understand the body paint is uncomfortable (been there myself more than once), but their complaining about it comes off as silly and whiny.

You're a wealthy actor, in an era defining genre, portraying a character worshipped by millions...poor you and a bit of icky paint?

Just seems like a nuisance you'd complain to your friends about, not seen-by-everyone interviews.

For a split second, I expected her to rag on the movies themselves. Not surprised her reluctance to return was because of the body paint.

Yeah, in the grand scheme of things this sounds so petty and out of touch. But knowing her sense of humor, she could just be f’n with us. And if not, she can complain all she wants as long as she continues to deliver (in my opinion) in the role. :D

I'm wondering if they'll kill off Mystique.

She ain't such a box office draw without being attached to a franchise. She's lucky to have the role.

[–] LetThemEatCake (2717) 7 years ago

exactly. I can't wait till she's over.

[–] Burk48917 (11536) 7 years ago

She is already. Her box office results from the last several movies have been terrible.

[–] LetThemEatCake (2717) 7 years ago

I guess I was naive because unfortunately she won't go away, like George fucking Clooney.

They f*cked me by pushing the release to 2019. I spent 15,000.000 fake bucks to get her in my Fantasy Film on fantasyfilmleague. So now I only get the tepid income from Red Sparrow. :(
I knew I shouldn't have taken her.

That quote is out of date. They fixed that issue for her by making Mystique's look using a body suit. Now it takes her about 1/3 the time to get into costume.

As soon as the Thursday night numbers were in for this box office disaster, this A+ list director texted this former A+ list mostly movie actress and said the only thing that could get her back on track after this many disasters was another Oscar. He wanted to know if she had changed her mind about getting back together for a few nights and he would cast her again in a role sure to do that. She is thinking about it.

"I kinda fucked myself," For a second I was thinking she was describing one of her leaked dirty pictures from a few years back...
