Jennifer Lawrence kicks butt as Mystique in new X-Men clip

The clip starts with Peter Dinklage's character Bolivar Trask entering a conference room to discuss his company Trask Industries' newly-created weapon.

Discussing the weapon, Trask tells his gathered guests: 'Good afternoon everyone, thank you for coming. With this weapon, there will be no human collateral damage.

'If I turn it on, the system couldn't even activate in here...'

Gotcha! But the situation escalates when the weapon identifies that there's a mutant in the room

However, as he turns the weapon on, it begins to beep, alerting him to the fact that there is a mutant in the room.

Waving the weapon slowly around the room, Trask soon discovers that the signal is coming from the 'man' sitting at the end of the table.

As security approaches to take the culprit into custody, Trask asks: 'What are you?' before the man answers the question by transforming back into Mystique.

Without answering the question, Mystique then proceeds to demonstrate her identity with a series of impressive kung fu style moves.

While the majority of the moves were no doubt completed by Jennifer's stunt double, the actress still had to train rigorously before reprising her role for the sequel.

Speaking about the story for the upcoming movie, Jennifer said recently: 'She's kind of her own agent. She has one mission of trying to assassinate somebody and it will be her first kill, basically.

'Because we've seen her in the future, and what she becomes, this is kind of a turning point for her.'
