Jennifer Lawrence is filming love scenes with her ex-boyfriend Nicholas Hoult for X-Men: Apocalypse. The pair – who split earlier this year – play mutant lovers in the next installment of the Marvel comic book picture and have been forced to put their differences aside for the sake of the steamy script. Jennifer, 24 – who plays the blue cat-suited Mystique in the action-adventure film – will get close to Nicholas (Beast) as the plot of the upcoming movie’s script centers around the relationship between the characters.
A source told The Sun: ”It’s a huge ensemble franchise but the point of the latest film was to strip that back and focus on Jen and Nick’s characters’ relationship.” The former couple – who met of the set of X-Men: First Class in 2011 – ended their relationship in August, citing their busy schedules for the reason behind the split.
