Jennifer Lawrence dying to make more ‘X-Men’ films

Los Angeles, March 31 (IANS) Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence says she is eager to star in more "X-Men" films.

"I am dying to come back. I love these movies, I love being in them. I love ensemble movies because it’s not on anyone’s shoulders,” Lawrence told Empire magazine, reports variety.com.

Lawrence’s statement comes as a surprise, considering that last May she confirmed that the spring 2016 release of “X-Men: Apocalypse” would mark her final appearance in the sci-fi franchise.

She played blue mutant Mystique in “X-Men: First Class” (2011), “X-Men: Days of Future Past” (2014) and now in “X-Men: Apocalypse”, the latest installment in the film series.

Directed by Bryan Singer, “X-Men: Apocalypse” is slated to release on May 27.
