Nicholas Hoult on why his scenes with Mystique were cut from #XMen.

“Beast” actor Nicholas Hoult opened up to MTV about why romantic scenes between himself and Jennifer Lawrence’s “Mystique” were cut from the final film.

“There were another couple of scenes which got cut, because they didn’t work technically in terms of the geography of how the movie played out in the end,” Hoult said. “Why [Mystique and Beast] would be here — when the world is about to end — and then we’ve nipped home quickly to have a good night’s sleep. Everyone was like, ‘well, we can’t really do that.’ So there were a couple of extra scenes which got cut, unfortunately.”

Hoult says he thinks it will be developed more in APOCALYPSE, which writer/producer Simon Kinberg already confirmed a couple weeks back.
