Rebecca Romijn says "wasn't sure" if she completed shoot for 'Avengers: Doomsday' - 'The script hasn't ...'
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.

Superman vs The Fantastic Four: Which film had the bigger opening weekend at the box office?
David Corenswet's Superman and Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby-led The Fantastic Four: The First Steps are the two big movies this summer. Both films arrived with good previews and opened big, both in the US and worldwide. But which film had an edge over the other and emerged as the winner? The box office results are in, and we might have a close winner. The two films were released just two weeks apart in theatres. (Also read: Superman director James Gunn says 'anti-American sentiment' is harming Hollywood films overseas) Superman and The Fantastic Four The First Steps got the cash counters ringing at the box office this summer. Superman box office figures Let's begin with James Gunn's Superman, which saw David Corenswet step into the beloved role of the Man of Steel. As per Box Office Mojo, the DC release collected $125 million at the North American box office during its opening weekend. At the worldwide box office opening weekend, the film crossed $95 million, taking its global debut at $220 million. After two weeks, the film has now crossed the $500 million mark in North America, reaching $289.5 million locally and $213.2 million internationally. Superman stars David Corenswet in the titular role, along with Rachel Brosnahan as Louis Lane and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor. The Fantastic Four opening figures Meanwhile, The Fantastic Four, starring Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn, arrived two weeks later on July 25. The Marvel release collected $118 million domestically. Globally, the film was released in 52 markets, earning $100 million overseas. The gross overall collection now stands at $218 million. It's also the 37th MCU film to top the box office, contributing to Disney becoming the first studio to hit $3 billion in global ticket sales in 2025. By comparing these two figures, it is clear that Superman edged past Fantastic Four by a small margin. It will be interesting to see how Fantastic Four holds up in the upcoming weeks, as the performance of this film will also affect the future of its franchise.

The Fantastic Four India Box Office Report: ₹21.79 Cr in 4 Days, Drops on Monday
Marvel's The Fantastic Four: First Steps had a strong weekend in India but saw a sharp drop on Monday: Friday (Day 1): ₹5.5 crore Saturday (Day 2): ₹7.35 crore Sunday (Day 3): ₹7.25 crore Monday (Day 4): ₹1.66 crore Total India Collection (4 Days): ₹21.79 crore (approx.) The big drop on Monday suggests that the film may struggle to hold audience interest during the week. Competition in India The film is facing tough competition: 'Saiyaara' (Ahaan Panday, Aneet Padda) is still going strong with over ₹250 crore already collected. 'Mahavatar Narsimha', an animated mythological movie, had a ₹20 crore opening weekend. These movies are pulling audiences away from The Fantastic Four in India. International Collection Globally, the film is doing very well: North America: $118 million International markets: $100 million Worldwide total (opening): $218 million This makes it the 4th biggest global opening of 2025, after A Minecraft Movie, Lilo & Stitch, and Superman. The film's global success is clear, but in India, its future depends on weekday collections and how well it can compete with strong local hits.
