15 Predictions For 2016 Movies That Everybody Got Wrong

10. Mystique Will Die - X-Men: Apocalypse

When Jennifer Lawrence signed on for X-Men: First Class she was a talented up and comer; by the time Apocalypse came around she was a full-blown superstar. This was good news for the studio since they had her locked for three movies, but bad news for Lawrence, who was clearly bored of the franchise when the third movie came around.

Since it was widely known it was the last movie on her contract – and that she was unlikely to sign on for more – the rumour mill started spinning fiercely with rumours Mystique wouldn’t survive the movie. It was possible, since Days Of Future Past rewrote the continuity, and the death of a major character would have a huge impact on the audience.

Sadly the movie proved gutless on this front, with only Angel, Havoc and Apocalypse himself perishing. Mystique appears to be leading the X-Men by the end, but don't expect to see Lawrence don the make-up again.
