Parade interviewed X-MEN: FIRST CLASS actress Jennifer Lawrence who plays Raven Darkholme aka Mystique in the film. The Oscar Nominee opened up about her training for the role and how she wanted to portray a healthy and strong Mystique.
“When I got the part and knew I had to be naked, I didn’t want to look like a pre-pubescent 13-year old boy.” said the actress. “I wanted to look like a woman so I knew I wanted to maintain my curves. I’m so sick of seeing these skinny little women and thinking I’m supposed to look like that and thinking young girls think they should also look like that.”
“But of course there was working out.” she continues. “I had a trainer and I had a nutritionist. I worked out for two hours a day for seven days a week. I thought when I started doing it, ‘Oh my god, I’m going to be so skinny.’ But I ended up bulking up a little bit. I was basically on the Hugh Jackman-Wolverine diet and doing pull-ups. As soon as I stopped, I think I lost like 5 pounds in 4 days. I think when I see the movie I’m going to look like a freaking marine or something.”

Pretty useless article. I’m sure she will say the same things when the movie comes to blu-ray and we see the cast interviews there.
Very true!
On the X1 DVD, you see Mystqiue is action and see how they put her….scales on and everything.
Mystique is one of the best characters in the X films, its a shame they cure’d her in X3, that was a fail movie!
But seeing her in the trailer..whoa!
Though I would like to know is how they will make her have any relation to Nightcrawler and we saw he was smitten by Mystique in X2!
