Is There Going To Be A 'X-Men' Spinoff Movie For Mystique?

There seems to be no stopping Bryan Singer from making more X-Men movies, especially with just having X-Men: Apocalypse come out and he seems to be intent on making more of them, particularly spin-off ones like Wolverine’s.

Recently, he said that a solo movie featuring Mystique, the shape-shifting anti-hero, could possibly happen “whether it’s Jennifer [Lawrence] or not,” Singer said.

Mystique has appeared in six movies so far and has been played two different actors. Currently, Jennifer Lawrence plays the startlingly blue mutant. It is possible she could play her again in a potential solo movie if it gets the green light but it has been rumoured she may not return after the current X-Men: Apocalypse.

The director, Bryan Singer, has suggested it may now be time to let Mystique stretch her abilities and get her own film just like Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine and Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool did, both hugely successful.

Singer appeared and spoke on Empire‘s podcast and said that the character would make for an ideal stand-alone film, no matter who gets to play her.

“I think [Mystique’s] right for [a solo movie], whether it’s Jennifer or not,” Bryan said, explaining that the character “has this different view of the world. Xavier can get into Cerebro and look at the world but he’d rather just teach classes and see the beauty of mutants and humans co-existing in his mansion in Westchester. Along comes Raven with a reality check on the state of the world. It opens up alot of avenues.”

In the comics, Mystique is involved in alot of the storylines, particularly when it is revealed she is Nightcrawler’s mother although this doesn’t seem to be something that will come to light in film form especially after seeing both of their interactions with each other in X-Men: Apocalypse. Not only that, it is revealed that she is also the adoptive mother of Rogue. But again, whether this will be one of the possible avenues to go down, it remains unknown but not impossible. She also had romantic links with Professor Xavier and Wolverine which comic book fans will remember so these storylines may arise if she gets her own solo movie.

However, there may not be a definitive answer on whether she will or not yet, not any time soon anyway. Singer is busy with multiple X-movies in the works ahead of any possible Mystique solo film, especially with Hugh Jackman’s final Wolverine and Channing Tatum’s debut as Gambit. There is also already a sequel in the works for the smash hit Deadpool which only came out a few months ago and there are plans for a further X-Men movie and a development is in place for New Mutants. So whether Mystique will star in any of these films is unknown but it is not unlikely as she can mould herself into looking like anyone without us knowing… Would you be interested in seeing a spin-off movie for Mystique? Let us know @CelebMix!
