On to the topic of Angel, immediate fan response is that of confusion and rightfully so. Zoe Kravitz is a girl and the character is a guy played by Ben Foster in X3. Even more, Angel is a character we thought for sure had no chance of being in the film since he was introduced in X-Men 3 as someone with no prior knowledge or ties with the X-Men. If you're keeping track, the X-Men: First Class movie currently only sits with two of the five actual original characters from Marvel Comics canon and one arguably shouldn't be there.
That being said, this clearly isn't the same Angel we know but instead, the character known as Angel Salvadore. I say Angel shouldn't be there cautiously since in a previous interview, director Matthew Vaughn hinted at the film acting as a reboot of sorts while still being a prequel to the existing Fox X-Men films.
He compared it to J. It's what we do. So anyway, I'm proud of that message as well. It's raising awareness around an important issue. And also, my girls need to be aware of that as well, because I'm trying to raise decent human beings. Last year was the 20th anniversary of the first "X-Men" movie, and I can't help but think that was a life-changing film for you.
It launched your film career, and I'm sure it created a lifelong bond with many of your fellow actors. What was the most memorable part of that franchise for you? I guess it was the makeup application. It was no joke! My call time was at midnight to be ready at 9AM. It was a nine-hour makeup process. We did, over the course of three movies, manage to get it down to seven hours, but that was still It was a big deal.
And I realized pretty early on that was the job. I was getting paid to be a part of that makeup application. The acting was free. The job was getting all that makeup put on! Also, it was the most beautiful costume I've ever seen in my life. Every single time they finished, and I would look in the mirror, I would just look at it like it was a masterpiece. I'm glad that I did it exactly how I did it.
It was worth it. It was worth every single second of all that, of all those wake-up calls to go to the set. I would try and go to bed at or 8AM and just lay there, and then I would have to get up at PM and go to work, and work for 24 hours straight.
Well, hey, look, you got a cool Mystique action figure out of it last year for the 20th anniversary. It looks just like you. That must be surreal. It is surreal, very surreal. The whole thing is surreal. It's a big honor, really. I love every second of it. Nobody's going to tell me any different. You are Mystique. I'm not going to down talk about anybody. By the way, I'm honored. I'm really honored. And Jennifer Lawrence, I love her!
Well, you originated the character, you made it your own. Even with all the makeup? Well, with the makeup, yes. I wouldn't do it without the makeup, because I feel like that's a really big part of the transformation of the character, is going through that makeup process.
There is nothing that turns you into a colder, harder bitch than going through that makeup process. I really feel like it's a really key part of the character. Going through that process is like, "Okay, I'm angry. I'm super angry now. I want to touch quickly on a lighter character, but still in the superhero realm. If you were given a pick of a live-action DC film, what character franchise would it be?
And then who would you like to play? In live-action? In live-action form. I really enjoyed playing [the animated version]. That was a childhood dream come true, to be able to play Lois. This uncredited cameo was a complete surprise for audiences who saw X-Men: First Class in cinemas for the first time.
It's one of those rare occasions when a cameo makes perfect sense within the context of the movie and doesn't feel forced in any way. Including Romijn was also an extremely clever way to remind audiences that the movie is still part of the same universe as the previous X-Men films, tying each of them together in a subtle yet logical way.
