Pretty X-Men Talk "Days of Future Past"

Recent Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence tells E! Online that, unlike "X-Men: First Class," she will wear a bodysuit to reprise her role as Mystique in the sequel "X-Men: Days of Future Past".


Lawrence says: "I'm so excited because I'm going to wear a body suit[in 'X-Men: Days of Future Past']. It will be from neck down so it will cut out time and the blisters."

Lawrence reportedly suffered skin irritations during the shooting of "First Class," so much so that a doctor had to be called to the set.

Meanwhile, chatting with IndieWire fellow mutant beauty Halle Berry says she is 90% sure director Bryan Singer will bring her back as Storm.

At this time, she has not officially signed a deal to appear with some minor details still being worked out.


The entire X-Men: First Class cast is set to reprise their roles, including James McAvoy (Professor X), Michael Fassbender (Magneto), Rose Byrne (Moira MacTaggert), and Nicholas Hoult (Beast).

The original trilogy stars Sir Ian McKellen Sir Patrick Stewart and Hugh Jackman are already poised to return again as well. Anna Paquin (Rogue), Ellen Page (Kitty Pride) and Shawn Ashmore (Iceman) While it was hoped that James Marsden (Cyclops) would be back.

Game of Thrones actor Peter Dinklage has a key role in the film as well

Singer penned the treatment and produced 'First Class' which was directed by Matthew Vaughn. Now, their roles will be completely reversed for this sequel with Singer helming the film while Vaughn wrote the treatment and will produce with Lauren Shuler Donner and writer Simon Kinberg.

The sequel is based on a -2 issue story arc in the 'X-Men' comics published in 1981. Kinberg (Sherlock Holmes) is on board to pen the screenplay which will include New Mutants. Magneto and his relationship with Charles X. Xavier will be front and center as well.

Scheduled to begin shooting in April, "X-Men: Days Of Future Past" hits screens July 18th 2014.
