Jennifer Lawrence reportedly open to playing different heroes in the MCU
Jennifer Lawrence has an interesting relationship with big-budget Hollywood blockbusters, to put it mildly. Thanks to her role as Katniss Everdeen, the protagonist of The Hunger Games, she is the highest-grossing action heroine in history after gaining the upper hand in a series that grossed more than $ 2.9 billion at the box -office, so you can't dispute its credentials when it comes to headlining show-oriented films.
However, her tenure as the Mystic of the rebooted X-Men timeline was much less consistent. Lawrence was cast in First Class before landing the first Oscar nomination of her career in Winter's Bone meaning she was much more famous when the movie hit theaters than she was when she signed on.
By the time Days of Future Past arrived, she had won an Oscar and a Golden Globe for the Silver Linings Playbook and had become one of the most recognizable and highest paid. actresses in the business, which seemed to coincide with her loss of interest in X-Men. It looked like Lawrence had started phoning him, and by the time Dark Phoenix rolled around she clearly didn't care anymore, her performance looking terribly bored.
There have been rumors that she could reprise the role in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness something that certainly cannot be ruled out 100% based on this week's WandaVision] but we have now heard from our sources - the same ones who told us War Machine was receiving its own Disney Plus show long before Armor Wars was confirmed - that while it was set to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it wouldn't be like Mystique. At least not full time.
According to our information, Jennifer Lawrence isn't against the idea of returning to the world of comic book blockbusters, but she would like an entirely different character to go all out, which probably has a lot to do with the time gone by. in the makeup chair needed to bring Mystique to life. While she may still become a fan favorite of the X-Men thanks to the multiverse, she would be more interested in representing someone else in the franchise and on a more regular basis.
