Greatest Actor Alive (No. 37): Jennifer Lawrence

Age: 23

Stating the Case: True, the artist known as J.Law may not have the most expansive body of work, but show us another actor with such consistently bravura performances over the past five years.

It was her rough-and-tumble performance in “Winter’s Bone” (2010) that first got everyone wondering who this remarkable young actress was — and where she was going. In no time she was playing a superhero (2011’s “X-Men: First Class”) and, in 2012, Lawrence became an international superstar as Katniss Everdeen in “The Hunger Games.” That year also had Lawrence proving she could still impress the Academy while also being a bona fide movie star with her Oscar-winning performance in “Silver Linings Playbook.”

Following last year’s double header of “American Hustle” (which earned her a Golden Globe and another Oscar nom) and “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” (which earned roughly a bajillion dollars), there’s just no stopping this ultra-talented beauty who’s known as much for her charming (and admirably oddball) off-screen persona as she is for her brilliant on-screen characterizations.

The ultimate X-Men ensemble fights a war for the survival of the species across two time periods in X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST. The beloved characters from the original “X-Men” film trilogy join forces with their younger selves from “X-Men: First Class,” in an epic battle that must change the past — to save our future.

We’re still weeks away from the unveiling of Fox’s ginormous X-Men: Days of Future Past (the cover of this week’s EW) but, fittingly, director Bryan Singer and producer/writer Simon Kinberg can only look ahead: The pair are developing, along with X2 writers Dan Harris and Michael Dougherty, the next X-Men film, Apocalypse, slated for May 27, 2016. Not much about the film is known, but Singer says that the film will be “somewhat” based on the 1990 comic storyline “Age of Apocalypse,” which features ancient villain Apocalypse and imagines an alternate universe. “[The movie] won’t necessarily create an alternate universe, but there may be some swapping things that I’m playing with,” admits Singer. Adds Kinberg, “From a visual standpoint it actually may be a bigger movie than Days of Future Past because there’ll be disaster movie imagery, like the title would imply.”

Days of Future Past will provide clues to the storyline of Apocalypse. Says Singer, “You won’t feel at the end of the movie that it set up Apocalypse. What it does is it sets up possibilities. But what we’ll discover in Apocalypse is that events in this movie made that happen.” He adds, “Apocalypse deals with ancient mutancy. What would humans have thought mutants were? What would mutants think humans were? You’re dealing with gods and things like that. And what if one survived and what if that found its way into our world?”

X-Men: Apocalypse will follow Charles (James McAvoy), Erik (Michael Fassbender), Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence), and Hank (Nicholas Hoult), and Singer says that those actors are all on board from deals signed for First Class. Singer also says he’s interested in bringing in other mutants, like Gambit and Nightcrawler. “I’m excited because I want to start introducing familiar characters at different ages and also explore the ‘80s.”

Could Jennifer Lawrence carry an X-Men movie on her own?

The Oscar winner, 23, reprises her role as shape-shifter Mystique in 20th Century Fox’s X-Men: Days of Future Past. Though the blockbuster doesn’t hit theaters until May 23, there’s already talk that her character is worthy of a standalone movie, similar to Hugh Jackman’s wildly popular Wolverine series.

“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,” Lauren Shuler Donner, who’s produced all of the X-Men films, tells Entertainment Weekly of the film franchise’s future prospects. “I’d like to do Gambit. I’d like to do Deadpool. We’ll see. There’s a lot of really great characters.”

Donner is also interested in a Mystique spin-off, as is X-Men: First Class producer and screenwriter Simon Kinberg. “I love what Jen Lawrence has done with her, 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,” he explains.

“The hope is that Days of Future Past will broaden the audience for X-Men such that it will motivate potential spin-offs even more,” Kinberg tells Entertainment Weekly. Director Bryan Singer agrees with him, saying, “Everyone grew up knowing Captain America or the Hulk, but not X-Men characters—I didn’t even know who Wolverine was. I call X-Men the bastard stepchild of the comic universes.”

The next movie, X-Men: Apocalypse, is slated for May 27, 2016. A third Wolverine standalone movie is schedule to hit theaters on March 3, 2017; Jackman, 45, will reprise his role as the animal-like mutant.
