In the four-second clip, Jennifer, who plays mutant shapeshifter Mystique, first appears crying a solitary tear.

Her face is painted blue and she sports piercing yellow contact lenses and flaming orange hair.

Her face features textured pieces on her forehead and cheeks.

The Hunger Games actress (or perhaps a stuntwoman) is also seen showing off some impressive acrobatic skills as she balances on her hands, her legs in the air as she fights off an attacker.

Finally, Jennifer is seen being dragged along the ground by someone using just his hand from afar.

She shows off her slender figure in a skintight bodysuit, with more textured pieces to create a reptile effect.

Jennifer's real life boyfriend Nicholas Hoult, meanwhile, appears in blink-and-you'll-miss-it shot, baring his wolf fangs in his role as Hank McCoy/Beast.

Like Jennifer, his face his blue, including his hair, and he wears a rusty brown T-shirt and navy blue jacket.

As fans of the first X-Men sequel will know, Nicholas' character Hank McCoy tried to cure himself of his mutation, which causes him to have ape-like feet and super strength. However, the cure backfired, and Hank's transformation into Beast began.

The film is due for release in May, 2014.

I just hope that Halle Berry didn't throw too much of a fit so that this ensemble cast movie will have to focus mostly on her.

Displays impressive martial arts moves ! Sorry, the film was too jumpy and skitting about for me to actually be able to focus on a single thing, before it skittered away to another. RUBBISH.

^What the heck does your rebuttal have to do with the original opinion? "She's a bad actor." "NO SHE'S NOT SHE'S SEXY!! There's ZERO corroboration. It's like me saying apple pie is great and your rebuttal is that oranges make better juice.

I really like her. She's so natural and pretty and doesn't seem to try too hard. I just watched 'Silver Linings Play Book' and she was great. Very talented and comes across really down to earth in interviews.

That first angle makes NO WOMAN's breasts look good. If they are natural that is.
