X-Men: Apocalypse Final Trailer Breakdown - 26 Things You Need To See
18. Mystique Takes Control
"They took him," Beast tells Mystique, in turn giving us quite a big look into why Raven appears to be the film's de facto leader - Charles is kidnapped by Apocalypse and leaves the original students on their own. Not that she'll go willingly - "I'm not a hero," she says to Hank, to which he replies, "Students look up to you." They look up to terrorists?
She eventually relents, sort of - "If I'm going to teach your kids something, I'm going to teach them how to fight.
Based on this and that earlier conversation between her and Xavier, Mystique's arc seems to be the film's driving force. Well, gotta get the most out of Jennifer Lawrence while she's on a contract.
