Actress Jennifer Lawrence will reportedly film intimate scenes with her ex-boyfriend Nicholas Hoult for "X-Men: Apocalypse".

The duo play mutant lovers in the next adaptation of the Marvel comic book film.

Lawrence, who plays the blue cat-suited Mystique in the action-adventure film, will get close to Hoult (playing Beast) as the plot of the forthcoming movie's script centres around the relationship between the characters, reports mirror.co.uk.

The duo, who met on the set of "X-Men: First Class" in 2011, ended their relationship in August, citing their busy schedules for the reason behind the split.

Despite the change in their relationship, it is reported to be too late for movie bosses to rewrite the script.
