Jennifer Lawrence Hates Playing Mystique In 'X-Men': These Are The Unexpected Reasons
Although she will revert to being Mystique in "X-Men: Dark Phoenix," Jennifer Lawrence had tedious experiences playing this role.
Jennifer Lawrence had her first rise to fame when in 2010 she starred in "Winter's Bone" and she earned her first Oscar nomination. A year later, she stepped into the shoes of one of her most famous characters: Mystique in "X-Men: First Generation."
While she became a Hollywood favorite thanks to her work in "The Hunger Games," the actress kept turning her body blue to be Mystique on two more occasions. However, she annoys him. She has her reasons. Interviewed by Entertainment Weekly, Jennifer Lawrence confessed that the time it takes to prepare for the role is exhausting. For her first participation in the franchise, she had to spend 8 hours a day on makeup. In "X-Men: Days of Future Past", the time was shortened to 3 hours.
The actress explained that in the first film she did not worry too much about the subject, but the second time: “I did not care about gases and toxins. At 25 she was like 'I can't even pronounce the name of this and am I going to inhale it? Am I breathing this? "
That wasn't the only reason to hate characterizing herself as Mystique. In "X-Men: Days of Future Past," the costumes were also a setback. "The guys who made the suit thought, 'Well, she's a girl. She doesn't go to the bathroom. She, so she urinated into a funnel, "explained the actress.
Although the preparation is tedious, Lawrence will be part of "X-Men: Dark Phoenix." The reason? As the actress explained, she jokingly promised director Simon Kinberg that she would work with him on his next film, not knowing that it would be "X-Men." This time, everything was easier. The Oscar winner said that the process of characterization as Mystique for this latest film has been easier and her work with Kinberg made everything work, so she is not sorry. "X-Men: Dark Phoenix" is scheduled to premiere in February 2019.
