10 Last-Minute Predictions For X-Men: Apocalypse
3. Mystique Is Blue-Skinned For Less Than 10 Minutes
The Prediction: Mystique will appear in her iconic, blue-skinned form for less than 10 minutes of the movie's run-time.
Why It'll Happen: For one, the trailers have predominantly shown Mystique as taking her Jennifer Lawrence form, only briefly showing the blue skin when she gives the mutants a rallying speech and when Apocalypse grabs her by the throat at the climax.
Secondly, it's widely known that Lawrence has asked the filmmakers to give her the minimum amount of blue-skinned scenes possible, as she's not so keen on the make-up process for the character (which initially made her allergic).
Why It Might Not: Then again, the climactic set-piece will surely last more than 10 minutes, right? It really depends upon how much of a focus Mystique gets: with the heroes and villains being paired off into smaller battles (like Psylocke vs. Beast), it seems like Mystique's screen time will probably be chopped and spread throughout it.
We'll have a stopwatch ready, either way.
