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.'

CBS is lifting the veil on its mysterious summer thriller Extant.

Below is the first significant promo for the drama series, which stars Halle Berry as an astronaut who returns to Earth and then … things happen. That’s about all we’ve known for months about the Steven Spielberg-produced series. But here we see Berry as Molly Woods (yup, floating in space!), then she has some sort of strange encounter withsomething while on her mission. Later she arrives home to discover she’s pregnant, and her son is saying creepy, potentially prophetic things. Could Extant be like a sci-fiRosemary’s Baby?

Check out Berry in zero-g, all Gravity-style (minus Sandra Bullock’s booty shorts) in this first trailer for Extant. The series premieres Wednesday, July 9.

First Extant Trailer Puts Halle Berry In Space And Humanity Possibly In Peril

With their upcoming sci-fi drama Extant, CBS has been holding plot details pretty close to the vest. But we now have our first trailer for the summer series. The thirty second spot is more of a teaser than it is a full trailer, but it does offer us some footage from the drama, including a few glimpses of Halle Berry in space.

The 13-episode drama is described as a mystery thriller which focuses on Halle Berry's character Molly Watts, an astronaut who's trying to reconnect with her family after she gets back from spending a year in outer space. "Her mystifying experiences in space lead to events that will ultimately change the course of human history." As the trailer -- via EW -- implies, part of the drama involves Berry finding out she's pregnant, and her son possibly warning her that human extinction may be in the cards in the near future. Or he's just drawing pictures.

CBS released a teaser for Extant focusing on life and how it "always finds a way." Does that life tie into what Berry's character Molly is carrying in her womb? Or is it the human life that her son is trying to protect in his space ship drawing? We can only guess.

Life

In the meantime, there may be more to that child than meets the eye. He looks like a regular adorable kid, but previous casting updates hint that Molly and her husband John's son Ethan is some kind of "robot prototype." So far though, nothing from the information CBS has officially released gives us anything to go on there, but the trailer does imply that there's something special about the boy.

Extant stars Halle Berry, Goran Visnjic, Pierce Gagnon, Kiroyuji Sanada, Michael O'Neill, Camryn Manheim and Grace Gummer. The series, which premieres July 9 on CBS and will also be made available on Amazon Prime this Summer.
