Jennifer Lawrence recently gave an interview with TotalFilm and the actress talked about her character "Mystique" in Matthew Vaughn's X-Men: First Class, describing how this interpretation of the famed Marvel character is different from Rebecca Romijn's in the previous movies: "The Mystique we know from the original X-Men is a confident, strong, powerful woman. But in this film she’s a kind of insecure girl, who’s discovering herself, her sexuality and her opinion of things, It starts as a little crush on Magneto, but then I start to like his view of the world."
Lawrence also revealed the extent of the research involved in her role, "I'm still reading it..." And Romijn's interpretation from the last three films, "She has a very specific walk!" Lawrence also trained for two hours a day for five months, before finding out that her stunt double would be handling a lot of the action scenes: “I was like, ‘Grrr!’ But I guess it meant less time wearing the make-up, so I wasn’t too disappointed.” X-Men: First Class hits theaters June 3rd.
