Lawrence is set to reprise the role of Mystique later this year with X-Men: Apocalypse - which will be her third X-Men movie.

And the Oscar winner seems in no hurry to walk away from the franchise and is keen to star in more films in the future.

Speaking to Empire, the actress said: "I am dying to come back. I love these movies, I love being in them. I love ensemble movies because it's not on anyone's shoulders."

X-Men: Apocalypse will see Lawrence return to the role of Mystique for the first time since the success of Days of Future Past back in 2014. The new movie will also see her reunite with filmmaker Bryan Singer.

Lawrence will star alongside James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, and Nicholas Hoult while Oscar Isaac, Olivia Munn, Sophie Turner, and Tye Sheridan are some of the big new additions to the cast list.

X-Men: Apocalypse is the first time that we have seen Lawrence on the big screen since the success of Joy at the beginning of the year. The movie saw Lawrence pick up another Best Actress Oscar nomination.

2016 is another busy year for Lawrence as we are also going to be seeing her in Passengers, which sees her star alongside Chris Pratt for the first time.

X-Men: Apocalypse is just one of the comic book films that are heading our way this year and it is promising to be one of the biggest in the X-Men series to date.

X-Men: Apocalypse is released 19th May.
