Jennifer Lawrence Says Fox 'Should Be Terrified' of Losing Her and Other 'X-Men' Stars

By the time X-Men: Days of Future Past premiered up in 2014, the follow-up to '11's X-Men: First Class, Jennifer Lawrence's star had brightened to Hunger Games level. Which sensibly resulted in an of-course-we'll-make-her-role-bigger situation. J-Law's back for next week's X-Men: Apocalypse, but it sounds like it might be her last one—and not just her last one.

In a conversation with Entertainment Weekly, Lawrence described the process of getting all blued-out to play Mystique as "rock bottom and like this sucks and it could not suck more." Then she went super hard, saying she and lead actors Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy had a conversation debating, as a trio, if they'd come back for more X-Men movies. “Like, ‘Will you come back?’ ‘I dunno.’ ‘I’ll come back, if you come back,’" she recounted. "Fox should be terrified because the deal we made was like if one of us doesn’t come back, none of us are.”
