It’s along these lines that we consider this next gen, X-Men cast. Kodi Smit-McPhee as NightcrawlerWith his unusual features and intensity, Smit-McPhee just feels right in the X-Men franchise. He’s completely at home in Nightcrawler’s blue skin and this role feels like a legitimate stepping stone to greater things. Jennifer Lawrence as MystiqueIt’s been a decade since Jennifer Lawrence was cast as Mystique, a blue shapeshifter mutant. As the X-Men franchise falls into a status of diminishing returns, is it any surprise she might not wish to sit through hours of make-up so she can prance around in the nude?
