X-MEN: APOCALYPSE Will Be Jennifer Lawrence's Last X-MEN Movie

It's standard practice these days for actors involved with huge franchises to sign up for a three-picture deal, and it seems that's the case for Jennifer Lawrence and the X-Men movies. Lawrence is one of the biggest stars in the world thanks to her work in The Hunger Games films, and while those will come to an end later this year, she's still a part of one of the biggest superhero franchises out there, playing the shape-shifting Mystique in X-Men: First Class and Days of Future Past.

MTV caught up with Lawrence and Bradley Cooper on a recent red carpet, where J-Law confirmed that the upcoming X-Men: Apocalypse "is my last one, actually." From her demeanor, it doesn't seem like she's too terribly upset about it, either — I'm guessing she'll be glad to not have to sit in that makeup chair for hours and hours before shooting begins.

This isn't too much of a surprise, but it does confirm that Lawrence's career is about to get a lot more interesting now that she's out of the franchise phase. Those movies have helped turn her into a mega-star, so I'm very, very curious to see what she does with all of the good will she's built up over the past few years and how she moves forward in Hollywood. The X-Men franchise will be fine without her — they're always bringing in new blood — but I'm sure some Lawrence super-fans will be disappointed that Apocalypse will be her last outing in that blue body suit and body paint.
