'It’s like going back to school after the summer holidays,' Hoult, who plays Beast, said about reuniting with Lawrence, who plays Mystique.
'The reality of [the X-Men franchise] is there are lots of characters, so everyone was together for brief periods, but not every day for four months,' he added.
Hoult's Beast character and Lawrence's Mystique character had hints of romance between them as well, in the most recent X-Men trilogy.
