Lana Condor<\/strong> spoke with Anthem Magazine<\/a> in-depth about her journey to being cast as Jubilee<\/strong> in X-MEN: APOCALYPSE<\/a>. <\/p>\n “[The casting agents] called me and said they sent my tape to [director] Bryan Singer,” she revealed about her audition. “He was in Montreal so I never even met him and I was cast the next day. [Bryan and I] actually talked about this later on. He told me I was the first person he ever cast off of tape, so that was pretty cool.”<\/p>\n In her first film role, Condor said being on the Montreal set was a totally brand new experience. “I\u2019d never been on a set before,” she gushed. “I didn\u2019t even know I had a trailer, so that was already shocking to me.”<\/p>\n “The whole entire time: \u2018Is this real? I\u2019m dreaming,'” she says of arriving on set. “Me, Sophie [Turner], Tye [Sheridan], and Kodi [Smit-McPhee] were all working the first day. They rented out half a huge mall in Montreal for the shoot, so half of it was the X-Men set and the other half was a regular, functioning mall. I walked in and there were hundreds of extras milling around, and it was transformed into the \u201980s. I was like, \u2018Oh my god! This is my first day of work?\u2019 I remember being really serious that day, too, and Bryan was like, \u2018Yo! Laugh! This is fun!\u2019 I would sit outside my trailer sometimes and Jennifer [Lawrence] would walk by me, as Mystique in her blue, like, \u2018What\u2019s up, Lana?\u2019 It\u2019s crazy because she\u2019s in blue, Kodi\u2019s in blue, and Nic\u2019s [Hoult] in blue. Not only are these actors I totally look up to, but it\u2019s also them in their characters, just having lunch with you. It was just crazy.”<\/p>\n The questions Condor continuously gets from devoted X-Men fans are if Jubilee will finally use her powers and what length will her role be. The character only appeared as a cameo in the original trilogy by actresses Katrina Florece and Kea Wong, respectively.<\/p>\n “I\u2019m super sensitive about questions like that because I don\u2019t exactly know what I\u2019m allowed to say. But yes, she does use her powers. It\u2019s just that I can\u2019t say why or anything because, you know, that\u2019s the movie. I get those questions all the time.”<\/p>\n On her screentime, she said “There are like the 17 of us in the ensemble, right? Six of those are the new, younger mutants, which includes Jubilee. I stick together with Jean, Scott, and Nightcrawler. Almost all of my scenes are with them. They\u2019re such a prominent part of the film because we\u2019re watching them grow up and learn how to develop their powers and use them. I can say that Jubilee is in it throughout the entire film. Hopefully. Unless they cut me. [Laughs] I would also say that if there were to be another film, I would hope that Jubilee would get an even bigger character arc.”<\/p>\n
