In the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly, longtime X-Men producer Lauren Shuler Donner spoke about the work Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence (The Hunger Games) has done to date in the series, and says that in the future, they’d like to figure out how to get her to do more of it.
"I love what Jen Lawrence has done with [Mystique], and I feel like because she is in such a crowded ensemble, there’s so much more opportunity if you were to follow her solo."*
But why stop there? Donner also said:
"There was a regime [at the studio] that didn’t see the worth in [spin-offs], and the current people who run Fox understand, embrace it, and we’re going to do right by it. I’d like to do Gambit. I’d like to do Deadpool. We’ll see. There’s a lot of really great characters."
