She plays reluctant warrior Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games.

And Jennifer Lawrence is certainly proving she deserves her action hero title.

The 23-year-old is shows off her impressive martial arts skills wearing a skintight bodysuit in a new teaser for X:Men: Days Of Future Past, released on Thursday on Instagram.

 In the four-second clip, Jennifer, who plays mutant shapeshifter Mystique, first appears crying a solitary tear.

Her face is painted blue and she sports piercing yellow contact lenses and flaming orange hair.

Her face features textured pieces on her forehead and cheeks.

 The Hunger Games actress (or perhaps a stuntwoman) is also seen showing off some impressive acrobatic skills as she balances on her hands, her legs in the air as she fights off an attacker.

Finally, Jennifer is seen being dragged along the ground by someone using just his hand from afar.

She shows off her slender figure in a skintight bodysuit, with more textured pieces to create a reptile effect. 

 Jennifer's real life boyfriend Nicholas Hoult, meanwhile, appears in blink-and-you'll-miss-it shot, baring his wolf fangs in his role as Hank McCoy/Beast.

Like Jennifer, his face his blue, including his hair, and he wears a rusty brown T-shirt and navy blue jacket.

As fans of the first X-Men sequel will know, Nicholas' character Hank McCoy tried to cure himself of his mutation, which causes him to have ape-like feet and super strength. However, the cure backfired, and Hank's transformation into Beast began.
