Mystique to get her own X-Men spin-off film?

In X-Men: First Class, Jennifer Lawrence portrayed a younger version of Mystique who had not yet settled entirely into her ideologies. She was more passive than the Mystique that fans are accustomed to seeing.

It would be interesting to see Lawrence's Mystique undergo the gradual character transformation into a colder, cynical, and ruthless villain. I'm not sure if this necessitates a spin-off movie dedicated entirely to her, though.

In all honesty, though, the X-Men movies, while fun, have not aged well for me. I loved the first two movies upon their release, but the digital effects are quite dated now. X-Men: First Class was my favorite of the bunch, but I have a threshold for how many times I can revisit it.

On the other hand, though, the special effects in the two Fantastic Four movies are dated right now, but I still enjoy those movies. Maybe the X-Men stories just fall flat with me after viewing each film two or three times.
