True but my point was of the 3 it's obvious JLaw tries the least, and I mean clearly tries the least. It was slightly apparant in first class (but that was likely due to being a relative novice at the time) but it became more and more apparant as these movies have gone on. She's a good actor but it's obvious she doesn't even want to be there.

Yeah, a weird aspect of the new Xmen trilogy. The actual Xmen aren't memorable and the 3 main characters (that are threatening to leave) don't achieve what they did in the original trilogy.
Only so many times you can do the same exact arc with Magneto and Xavier.

So Fox should be terrified that they could stand to lose the actress for the character who is a Mutant that can change her appearance?
I mean yeah I get it but, it's a little funny too.

McAvoy will be back because he doesn't have any other high profile gigs coming along. The other 2 will be just fine dumping it.

The marketing for these movies putting her front and center like she's actually an important character cracks me up
I saw a Facebook ad for future pas that said "join Jennifer Lawrence and the X men cast"

She can be replaced, in fact we can go Xforce, and more Deadpool, we dont need a Fourth back in Time X-Men Film fuck it.
If we have to, we can go with a proper X-Men 4, new timeline, also replace Singer now.
Fassbender will probably be busy with Assassins creed Sequels and the Prometheus Sequel, and we can just go back to Patrick Stewart.

I'd love if they focused on a smaller team of obscure characters with weirdly specific powers that were used creatively

McAvoy is leaving behind that XMen check for what exactly? Im thinking he's coming back even if the others leave.
Good. Regardless of her talent as an actress, or lack thereof depending on whom you ask, she just does not do the character justice.
And hopefully FOX, keeps Magneto on hold aswell for a couple more films.
So many characters to chose from, and rehashing the same over and over again, is just lazy.

I don't hate J-Law but she's been a huge detriment to every X-Men movie that she's been in.

After this one bombs, no one's gonna be asking her back.
Next Xmen movie will be headlined by Deadpool.

Good bye! she is terrible in these movies

you can't put a price on sparks
Agents of shield for the xmen? Pass.
One of my favorite things about RR's Mystique was her voice, that shit was dope.
It was like multi toned or something, idk how to explain it.

Best part of this clip is how Nightcrawler asks why she doesn't stay in disguise as a regular human and she says that she shouldn't have too lol.
Fox care about her character which is why she's been the centrepiece of the last two films. If she bounces I think a few drops of pee might come out especially seeing how Apocalypse might not fare too well.

Are people really expecting this to bomb?

It's not good but that rarely means anything in a world of Fast and Furious and Transformers.
Maybe it won't bomb, but id wager it will fall below what FOX expects the movie to make. By a lot.

Please save Sauron for Spider-Man.lmao, McAvoy will be back and he's the only one they REALLY need (Magneto needs to be put on the shelf for, at least, a movie!). They finally dig into their huge-ass stash of other characters. Like, for instance, Mr. Sinister... now that they've rebooted Scott & Jean... and then there is The Shadow King, or Sauron & Savage Land, Phoenix & The Imperial Guard. The X-Universe is freaking HUGE.
the lesson these actors should learn from Guardians of the Galaxy & Deadpool's success is that they are VERY expendable.
Jennifer better get it together.

Thank god for the success of Deadpool, really hope they give the crew a bigger list of Mutants that they can use for the sequel and be used properly like how Colossus finally was.

What Fox Will Do:
They'll sweeten the pot for McAvoy and bump him over to New Mutants where he films for like 3 weeks tops spouting platitudes from a wheelchair in the 80s.
By the time we rejoin the regular X-Men in the 90s, They'll handwave Mystique being gone and simply have Scott and Storm lead the team.
Magneto just fucks off somewhere. Asteroid M or something. Watches TV. Ignores Quicksilver.

I just wanna know why she took the role if she was gonna complain about the body paint.
Like you know Mystique is a 6+ hour makeup process...

I'd be kind of happy if she leaves. I don't like her Mystique at all. Bring back the other one or someone else.

The only one Fox really need for the medium term is McAvoy.

she signed that deal before starring in Hunger Games.

They'll get him. The New Mutants movie is being worked on as if he's going to be around.
Wait, I thought Jackman was finished with Wolverine.
she's blew up since First Class so now she can say she doesn't want to wear that shit and they'll absolutely acquiesce

Thread title is not the greatest but yeah, not sure she'll be missed.
I don't have a problem with Lawrence as Mystique, even though, truth told, they've botched her implementation since the very first X-Men movie, and I don't see Lawrence's portrayal as being somehow worse. I love Rebecca Romijn, but the Mystique seen in all of the X-Men movies sucks.
With that said, I think we need an X-Men movie that doesn't feature her or Magneto. Time to broaden the universe, and let the crew of Cyclops, Jean, and Storm get some attention, and a new, interesting bad guy and story line. I imagine we'll probably get a Dark Phoenix Saga, ideally done properly this time.
I can't see McAvoy turning down a nice paycheck of offered. I love Fassbender as Magneto, and he's one of the draws, but he's been in every movie now, and it's time to shelve him, then let him have a badass comeback in the third or fourth movie in this series.
I haven't seen Apocalypse yet, but I'll try to in the next few weeks.

Yes. We posted the same panel, actually. The cropping is just different.
