'Welcome to the 70s!' Lawrence will join real-life boyfriend Nicholas Hoult, Hugh Jackman, Michael Fassbender, and Ian McKellen in the Marvel Comics blended 3D prequel-sequel
'When I was on like my seventh hour, I was like, "Why don't you just dip me in a bathtub of blue?" Jennifer asked the camera in a 2011 behind-the-scenes video.
'But no, it's all airbrushed. They place the scales first with glue. Then they do three layers of airbrush blue and then five layers of splattering of all different colours...I know that everybody feels sorry for me, but we have so much fun. It's like a sleepover except I'm naked and being painted.'
She added: 'It's the same technology, the same methods they were using on Rebecca Romijn, the original Mystique, 10 years ago.'
