Rebecca Romijn as an actress
In the full-length movie, Rebecca first appeared in the same 1998 - she played the Bearded Woman in the comedy "Dirty Work" by Bob Saget. And the next year, the actress appeared in a short episode in the film "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Seduced Me."
In 2000, Romaine landed the role of the blue-skinned mutant Mystic in Brian Singer's high-budget superhero X-Men, which allowed her to take her acting career to the next level. Romaine managed to make Mystic - a sinister half-woman, half-reptilian with enormous physical strength - one of the most popular heroines of blockbuster comics. An interesting fact: for filming in X-Men, Rebecca had to bare almost completely: the actress was left with only blue paint and small plastic covers.
In 2002, Romijn took part in Brian De Palma's strange and confusing detective "Femme Fatal". Here she played two heroines at once - the criminal Laura Ash and the wife of the American ambassador Lily Watts. With her work in this film, Romijn convinced the audience and film critics that she not only has an excellent appearance, but also a certain dramatic talent.
After that, Romaine again returned to the image of the Mystic. This superheroine she played in the 2003 sequel "X-Men 2", and in the final film "X-Men: The Last Stand" (2006).
Five years later, in 2011, there was another picture based on Marvel comics - "X-Men: First Class". And in her, in the role of an adult Mystic, Rebecca Romijn again appeared.
Of course, in the filmography of the actress there are other noteworthy films, for example, "The Punisher" (2004), "Alibi" (2006), "Good Deeds" (2012), "Phantom Halo" (2014).
