Rebecca Romijn is officially suiting up again as her legendary X-Men<\/em> character Mystique in the upcoming Marvel blockbuster Avengers: Doomsday<\/em>. The actress, who first brought the shapeshifting mutant to life in the early 2000s films, said the opportunity to step back into the role has been both \u201cunexpected\u201d and \u201csurreal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking with PTI, Romijn explained, \u201cVery surreal. It was a call that was very unexpected for me and very thrilling. We\u2019re currently shooting and filming now and it\u2019s been wonderful so far.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Romijn originally played Mystique in the first X-Men<\/em> movie in 2000, later reprising the role in X2: X-Men United<\/em> (2003) and X-Men: The Last Stand<\/em> (2006). She also had a brief cameo in X-Men: First Class<\/em> (2011), before Jennifer Lawrence took over the character in the prequel series.<\/p>\n

A Reunion of X-Men Legends<\/h3>\n

Avengers: Doomsday<\/em> won\u2019t just feature Romijn\u2019s return. Several other iconic stars from the original X-Men<\/em> franchise\u2014Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Kelsey Grammer, Alan Cumming, and James Marsden\u2014are all confirmed to appear. The crossover promises to bring together Marvel\u2019s multiverse storylines in a way fans have long hoped to see.<\/p>\n

Balancing Career and Motherhood<\/h3>\n

Beyond her excitement about Mystique, Romijn also opened up about how she chooses her projects these days. As a mother, she explained that she wants to take on roles that reflect strength and provide inspiration for her daughters.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am a mother of girls and so it\u2019s very important to choose roles that are positive role models for my daughters and for other young ladies around the world. I don\u2019t take it lightly, especially when I\u2019m leaving my daughters to go away on location and have to be away from them for long periods of time,\u201d<\/em> Romijn shared.<\/p>\n

She added that she wants to be proud of the work she comes home with, particularly in sci-fi and comic book genres. \u201cI really enjoy playing female characters that are multifaceted and often just as strong as the male characters. It\u2019s important to me.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

What\u2019s Next in Avengers: Doomsday<\/em><\/h3>\n

The highly anticipated film will also mark the return of Robert Downey Jr.<\/strong>, this time not as Tony Stark, but as Marvel\u2019s new big bad\u2014Dr. Victor von Doom<\/strong>. With Romijn back as Mystique, legacy X-Men<\/em> actors joining the lineup, and Downey stepping into a villain role, Avengers: Doomsday<\/em> is shaping up to be one of Marvel\u2019s biggest ensemble films yet.<\/p>\n

The movie is scheduled to hit theaters in December 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
