X-Men: Apocalypse - Predicting Who Lives And Who Dies
3. Mystique
Why She Could Live: Mystique went from a striking henchwoman to one of the power players in the X-Men universe. Theyve developed a great deal about the character and to just toss her aside at the end seems almost like a waste of all that work.
Practically, she would also be the easiest to keep around. Jennifer Lawrence wont be returning after this but they could easily just have her age or shapeshift her appearanceand remain involved at the school. After all, it doesnt seem like Rebecca Romijn has a ton going on at the moment.
Why She Could Die: Of all the actors involved, Jennifer Lawrence has blown up the most and is clearly the least interested in still being a part of the franchise beyond Apocalypse. This is not an accusation that shes going to phone it in, but its a given that she will not be back. An easy way to deal with this permanence is to simply kill her. It would alleviate any speculation going forward surrounding her participation and would allow both her and the sequels to move on.
It's also notable that despite her prominence in the series, she was not featured in the revised future of Days Of Future Past. As it looks like she's on her way to staying and teaching with the X-Men for good during Apocalypse, this absence could be a telling sign of what's in store for her.
Prediction: Changes into a new face and leaves forever.
