And today we have an interview that Lawrence did with Roger Moore of the Orlando Sentinel.
It's a pretty fun interview and Lawrence seems genuinely interested and excited to be playing the part of the sexy blue mutant.
Give it a read for yourself and see if you feel better about the casting decision that has been made.

“Oh my GOSH! I thought I had a whole year to PREPARE, you know, play the role, wait, and then have the movie come out. Just get used to how big a deal it might be.
“Usually, when you make a movie, there’s just a title and that doesn’t do much of anything for anybody. Even if it’s a Scorsese movie. Nobody knows what that title is about.
“I’ve never done a movie where the title alone makes people go a little crazy.”
How crazy?
“I just got off a plane from London. I was going through Customs, and the guy asks ‘Business or pleasure?’
And I say ‘Business.’
And he says ‘What kind of business?’
And I say ‘Movie. Meetings over a movie.’
And he goes ‘Oh, What movie?’
‘X-Men.’
And he goes ‘Get OUT! They’re doing another X-Men? Oh my gosh, who are going to be?’
‘Mystique.’
‘SHUT UP! Mystique? She’s HOT!’
“And I’m like, ‘Okaay. Can I get through Customs here?’
