Jennifer Lawrence isn't quite ready to play Mystique again. 

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the actress shared that she's not sure if she'll do another X-Men flick. Her three-picture deal is up following the release of X-Men: Apocalypse and it might be the last we see of her as Mystique, in addition to costars Michael Fassbender (Magneto), James McAvoy (Professor X) and Nicholas Hoult (Beast).

“Fassbender and McAvoy and I were all talking,” she says, “Like, ‘Will you come back?’ ‘I dunno.’ ‘I’ll come back, if you come back.’ Fox should be terrified because the deal we made was like if one of us doesn’t come back, none of us are.”

Though she says she would "love to come back," and adores the fans, it's quite a time commitment. 

"You realize how important your year is, like how important three months out of your year is," she says. "I don’t know. I shouldn’t be that honest.”

Plus, there's no way to pretend it's fun putting on Mystique's body paint. 

"You go in and you realize you’re rock bottom and like this sucks and it could not suck more,” she says.
