While their relationship is terminated in reality, it seems like Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult will have to reconcile some during the next X-Men movie as the two actors become a central story for the film.

Speaking with Collider on Thursday, writer/producer Simon Kinberg talked about how important the relationship between Beast (Hoult) and Mystique (Lawrence) will be in the next movie and the amount they plan to explore it.

"I will say that [X-Men: Apocalypse] is definitely the close of a trilogy for those First Class characters, which isn't to say we won't see them in future movies, hopefully we will, but it's a completion of an arc for them," Kinberg said.

"I think that the friendship between Erik and Charles, which has always been so integral to the franchise, is something we're continuing to explore and hopefully deepen with Apocalypse. And the relationship between Beast and Mystique is a really interesting one that we didn't have a lot of time to explore in Days of Future Past, so we'll have an opportunity to do more of that in Apocalypse."

He added that Lawrence, particularly, would be central for the story as she would be a driving force like Michael Fassbender in First Class and James McAvoy in Days of Future Past.

"Part of what's really interesting about Mystique's character is that she is, in some ways, the child of both Erik and Charles," Kinberg said.

"She grew up with Charles and then she sort of became a woman with Erik, so her being the cross-pollination, if you will, of those two philosophies and those two men is something we can explore in the movie too."

The scribe also talked about the 1980s setting and how much he and director Bryan Singer have enjoyed digging into the decade.

"We're having a lot of fun with the idea of the 80s. It's a decade that Bryan and I both grew up in and so the music, the style, the aesthetic, the legacy of 80s movies is something we're really having fun with," he said.

X-Men: Apocalypse is set to open in theaters on May 27, 2016.
