Oh please, feige won't let the X-Men continuity mess be connected to their film verse. They are already ignoring their own TV shows.
There are many reasons why FOXs X-Men won't cross over with the MCU.
The continuity isn't one of them.
8. Mystique in the X-Men prequels (2011, 2014, 2016)
When Lawrence signed up to play the shape-shifting mutant Mystique a character portrayed by Rebecca Romijn in the original X-Men movies it was exciting to imagine her trying her hand at blockbusters alongside a pretty stellar cast that included Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy. But after three films, we confess that were still not quite sure what Lawrence brings to this franchise. Its not that Mystique isnt important. (Shes Charles Xaviers adoptive sister who has feelings for Magneto, his soon-to-be rival.) But even in 2014s very good X-Men: Days of Future Past, where Mystiques attempt to assassinate Bolivar Trask (Peter Dinklage) is central to the plot, Lawrence seems a bit passive amid the spectacle. Maybe its because shes usually such a forceful onscreen presence that sticking her in the middle of a crowded story line doesnt quite suit her skill set? Whatever the reason, we wouldnt shed any tears if she never dons the blue makeup again. These movies probably did wonders for her bank account, but as proof of her multiplex powers, they pale in comparison to Katniss.
Well she's not. And why would they include her.
