Actress and former model
Rebecca Romijn
shared an update about her return as 'Mystique' in the highly anticipated 'Avengers: Doomsday', according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The script hasn't -- they haven't finished writing it
Rebecca Romijn shared that she wasn't sure if she had finished filming for the forthcoming Marvel film because the script wasn't fully complete.
"I'm not quite sure," she said when asked if she was done shooting her scenes. "The script hasn't -- they haven't finished writing it. It's been very, very fun, and we don't know yet. They keep everything very close to the vest themselves in an effort to keep everything under wraps," as per The Hollywood Reporter.
When asked if she had read the script, she didn't open up much about it, saying, "I cannot confirm nor deny that I have read the entire script."
She also admitted she "can't say" who she's filmed scenes alongside, but it was a "surreal" experience shooting with some of her original X-Men co-stars with a new, blended cast, as per the outlet.
"It was very surreal to be with my old cast as well as a new cast. I had crazy dreams while I was there for a large chunk of the shooting. Like, really kind of regressive dreams," she shared. "It was very strange, my brain was really trying to organise.

Like, wow, this is a character I played 25 years ago, 20 years ago. Yeah, it was very surreal," according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The actress also shared what it was like revisiting the role of Mystique, nearly 20 years after she last portrayed the character in 2006's X-Men: The Last Stand.
"Oh, I know her very well. I went back in with full ownership of her. It was very nice to go back and play that character, 'cause I had imposter syndrome in the very beginning," she said.
"I thought, maybe at the very beginning, I was just cast because I happened to be the model who was available to play Mystique at that moment. I mean, I auditioned and I got the role, because when you're very young, you're like, Do I deserve to be here? And I did not have that going back this time.
It was a very different experience."
Marvel revealed the Avengers: Doomsday cast in late March, which notably includes a string of actors from 20th Century Fox's X-Men universe. Joining Romijn from the inaugural 2000 film are Patrick Stewart as Professor X, Ian McKellen as Magneto and James Marsden as Cyclops. The Traitors host Alan Cumming also returns as Nightcrawler, whom he played in 'X2: X-Men United', and Kelsey Grammer as Beast, from X-Men: The Last Stand, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

American Eagle defends controversial Sydney Sweeney ‘great jeans' campaign: ‘We will continue…'

American Eagle is facing intense criticism for its recent campaign featuring actress Sydney Sweeney under the tagline 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans'. As per The Hollywood Reporter, the ad plays on the homonym between 'jeans' and 'genes,' and American Eagle has released a formal statement defending the campaign as a celebration of individuality and self‑confidence. American Eagle breaks silence on the controversial Sydney Sweeney campaign.(Instagram/americaneagle) American Eagle shares official statement The ad includes lines where Sweeney states that 'genes determine traits like hair colour and eye colour' and then quips, 'my jeans are blue.' Several fans stated that, combined with Sweeney's blonde hair and blue eyes, the message echoes eugenic themes and adopts the aesthetics of white supremacist propaganda. Despite the backlash, American Eagle has now defended the campaign in an official statement. They wrote, "'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans' is and always was about the jeans." 'Her jeans. Her story. We'll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way," the statement continued.

Her parody has garnered over 20 million views and intensified public debate, with fans noting the satire underlines how problematic the original messaging appeared. The company claims the intent was not to provoke discussion about anatomy or ancestry but to highlight comfort and self-expression in denim wear. The controversy underscores broader tensions around marketing strategies that rely on visual identity and symbolism without fully considering cultural sensitivities. FAQs Q: What's wrong with the Sydney Sweeney campaign? A: Critics say its wordplay on "genes" and "jeans" combined with Sweeney's image evokes eugenic messages and whiteness as an ideal. Q: How did American Eagle respond? A: The brand released a statement saying the ad celebrates confidence, and added a follow-up post featuring a woman of colour wearing denim.
