Coming to us from Heat Vision the movie now has cast Mystique with Jennifer Lawerence. Another person I’ve never heard of, but she’ll probably be covered in blue rubber and body paint for the entire movie so does it really matter? Heres an excerpt from Heat Vision:
Jennifer Lawrence, the actress who’s been getting rave reviews for her work in “Winter’s Bone,” has been cast as Mystique in Fox’s “X-Men: First Class.”
Fox has been furiously casting the movie, which focuses on Marvel’s superpowered team X-Men in a younger incarnation than the previous trilogy.
Matthew Vaughn has been casting a slew of younger actors to play opposite James McAvoy, who is playing Professor Charles Xavier, and Michael Fassbender, who is portraying Erik Lehnsherr, aka Magneto. Nicholas Hoult, Alive Eve, and Caleb Landry Jones are among those playing mutants looking for mentor figures and teachers to guide them with their powers. Kevin Bacon is playing the villain, whose identity has not been revealed, as the studio keeps plot details under lock and key.
Talk about how awesome or lame this is in the BSR FORUM. Also WTF? Kevin Bacon?
