Since 2011, Jennifer Lawrence has been known to comic book fans as the blue-skinned Mutant Mystique in Fox’s X-Men franchise, but a new rumor reveals that she may be shape-shifting into another famous Marvel heroine.
A new report from ComicPlanetCultureLife claims that the Oscar Winning actress is in talks to take on the role of Carol Danvers, better known as Captain Marvel in Disney’s 2019 film of the same name. The rumor comes from one of their trusted sources, Mikey Sutton – who also predicted the Logan cameo in yesterday’s brand new trailer for X-Men: Apocalypse (although let’s be honest, that wasn’t exactly a long shot). Sutton posted to Facebook in response to the trailers in which he said:
Final “X-Men: Apocalypse” trailer. I told you Wolverine would be in it. Jennifer Lawrence’s last turn as Mystique as she will be Captain Marvel. Say what now? *Giggles and runs*
Lawrence has stated several times that her contract expires with Apocalypse however she has recently stated that she is more open to stay in the role a little longer. If she was offered the role of Captain Marvel, however, it’s hard to see her passing something like that up.
For now, you can see her as Mystique in X-Men: Apocalypse which hits theaters May 27th.
