Fan Questions Answered by Jennifer

Q: Sean
How does Mystique differ from the one in the other films?

Jennifer:

This is when she’s younger, so we see her grow from an insecure, curious girl into the strong powerful woman we know so well.

Q: Jill
Other than the make-up, what was the most difficult part of filming X-Men First Class?

Jennifer:

There was a constant concern of making sure I didn’t do anything to disappoint the huge fan base.

Jennifer:

Once the makeup was on, I was a walking piece of art. The paint really is fascinating and beautiful.


Q: Chris
What aspect of Mystique’s character did you want to convey the most?

Jennifer:

Her strength and attitude. It was something Raven had to grow into but I think it’s the most important thing about my character.

Q: Dalibor
What did you do to acquire Mystique’s philosophy and portray her character in the movie?

Jennifer:

I tried to understand her and learn as much as I could from the comic books.

Q: Perry
What do you think you have in common with this complicated and charming character?

Jennifer:

I think we’re both learning to accept ourselves in these very strange lives we’re living.

Q: Anonymous
I know that this is a prequel movie but, I was wanting to know if we will see you in any fight sequences?

Jennifer:

Absolutely! She may be young but she’s still a badass.

Q: Kristian
What can we expect from Mystique in this movie? In the trailer she seems childlish and like a romantic girl, very different from what we have seen on the original trilogy.

Jennifer:

She does start out like a romantic insecure girl, but she grows into herself, and finds her confidence and attitude.
