When we first met Mystique in Bryan Singer’s X-Men film from 2000, the character portrayed by Rebecca Romijn, she was very much a full-fledged villain. A close confidant of Sir Ian McKellen’s Magneto, she used her incredible morphing ability and crazy martial arts skills to help the Brotherhood of Mutants end the reign of the human race on Earth and help Homo superior take over. This, however, was not the case when the character was played by Jennifer Lawrence in Matthew Vaughn’s X-Men: First Class. Almost like a sister to James McAvoy’s Charles Xavier, Mystique fought for the good guys until the very end of the film when she changed teams. Still, the character has a long journey ahead of her, and a big part of that journey will be played out in the upcoming X-Men: Days of Future Past.
Currently out and about promoting the soon-to-be-released The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Lawrence recently sat down for a chat with IGN, and during the interview she spilled a few previously unknown details about the next X-Men movie. Asked about where we find Mystique in the new film, which is set 10 years after First Class, the Oscar-winning actress said,
[su_quote]”We find Raven, she’s split off from Eric and Charles and she’s kind of her own agent. She has one mission of trying to assassinate somebody and it will be her first kill basically, and because we’ve seen her in the future and what she becomes and this is kind of a turning point for her.”[/su_quote]
The word “assassinate” likely starts ringing all kinds of alarm bells for the comic book fans out there. In the original story, created by writer/artist team Chris Claremont, John Byrne and Terry Austin back in 1980, the reason one of the X-Men has to travel back in time from the future is to stop – you guessed it – an assassination from occurring. In the film it will be Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine who has his consciousness sent back in time, but this is the first time that we’ve heard about his potential target.
Given the amount of clout that Lawrence brings to the table, we can likely expect that X-Men: Days of Future Past will have plenty of action for fans of the young actress, and you can tell that from the trailer alone given how much screen time she gets.
Singer first time directing an X-Men movie since X2, Days of Future Past stars all of the actors mentioned above as well as Michael Fassbender, Nicholas Hoult, Sir Patrick Stewart, Halle Berry, Anna Paquin, Shawn Ashmore, Ellen Page, Daniel Cudmore, Adam Canto, Peter Dinklage, Omar Sy, Booboo Stewart, Evan Peters, Josh Helman, and Fan Bing Bing. 20th Century Fox will have the movie in theaters on May 23, 2014.

The first trailer for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is out:
The Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence has signed on to lead The Rules of Inheritance, an adaptation of Claire Bidwell Smith’s recent memoir. Deadline reports that the project has a director in Susanne Bier, whose latest, Serena, re-teams Lawrence with her Silver Linings Playbook co-star Bradley Cooper.
Published last year, The Rules of Inheritance is officially described as follows:
In this astonishing debut, Claire Bidwell Smith, an only child, is just fourteen years old when both of her charismatic parents are diagnosed with cancer. What follows is a coming-of-age story that is both heartbreaking and exhilarating. As Claire hurtles towards loss she throws herself at anything she thinks might help her cope with the weight of this harsh reality: boys, alcohol, traveling, and the anonymity of cities like New York and Los Angeles. By the time she is twenty-five years old they are both gone and Claire is very much alone in the world.
Claire’s story is less of a tragic tale and more of a remarkable lesson on how to overcome some of life’s greatest hardships. Written with suspense and style, and bursting with love and adventure, The Rules of Inheritance vividly captures the deep grief and surprising light of a young woman forging ahead on a journey of loss that humbled, strengthened, and ultimately healed her.
Lawrence will also produce alongside Bruce Cohen with the project being executive produced through FilmNation Entertainment.
A new poster from The Victory Tour from Hunger Games: Catching Fire has been released:
When David O. Russell likes an actor, he keeps him or her close. Before their relationship reportedly fell apart, his go-to star seemed to be Mark Wahlberg, who led Three Kings, I Heart Huckabees and The Fighter for the director. Now it looks as though the director has turned to his starring duo of Silver Linings Playbook.
The multiple Oscar-nominated film will likely pick up a few awards come the end of the month, but O. Russell is already putting the finishing touches on the ensemble for his next film and we’ve now got another addition. Alongside Christian Bale, Amy Adam, Jeremy Renner, Louis C.K. and Bradley Cooper, Deadline reports that Playbook‘s Jennifer Lawrence has joined the ensemble.
Set in the 1970s and following an FBI sting operation, Lawrence has taken the role of Bale’s wife in the project. O. Russell has a knack for finding the perfect combination of actors and this one is shaping up to be his finest line-up yet. Read this synopsis, coming from Eric Warren Singer‘s script, below:
The Untitled David O. Russell Project is based on the true story of a notorious financial con artist (Bale) and his mistress/partner in crime (Adams), who were forced to work with an out of control federal agent (Cooper) to turn the tables on other con artists, mobsters, and politicians. At the epicenter of the entire tale, is the passionate and volatile leader of the New Jersey state assembly (Renner) who is also the local hero and mayor of impoverished Camden.
Expect a late 2013 release for what will likely be another major awards contender for Russell.
