Hoult and Lawrence got together on the set of "X-Men: First Class" in 2010 and dated on and off until 2014, right around the time when "X-Men: Days of Future Past" wrapped. Since then, the two had to work together on "X-Men: Apocalypse," which released in 2016, and "Dark Phoenix," which came out in 2019. Luckily, their characters, Beast and Mystique, didn't have too many intimate scenes.
During a January 2019 interview with Evening Standard, Hoult said that working with Lawrence post-breakup wasn't at all weird. "It's pretty similar to 'Skins,'" he said, referring to the show he starred on at the beginning of his career. "We're a big family. We've been doing those movies since we were 20 years old. As much as the 'Skins' crowd grew up together, the 'X-Men' crowd really grew up together. It's been a good eight, nine years making those movies. We've all got to get along. We've all got to have fun."
