— -- The Marvel mutants are back.

“The stakes are definitely higher in this one because we’ve never had a villain before that’s like straight up about to wipe off the face of the earth,” Jennifer Lawrence told ABC News of the highly-anticipated movie, “X-Men: Apocalypse.”

Lawrence's character Mystique teams up with Charles Xavier, also known as Professor X, to battle the most powerful mutant of all — the invisible and immortal Apocalypse. But the gang pulls through with help from the new generation.

“It’s got everything you want in your summer blockbusters in terms of all that crash, bang and wallop in action, and all that stuff,” said James McAvoy, who plays Xavier.

Lawrence said that in this film, her character is “growing up a little bit more.”

“She’s not so focused on rebelling anymore, she’s more interested in the betterment of the mutants,” she explained.

Sophie Turner plays a young Jean Grey armed with her telepathic and telekinesis powers.

“Everyone was so welcoming, it was good,” said Turner. “And it’s just fun to play a small part in such a big ensemble cast.”

“It feels like an X-Men movie that I’ve been waiting for as well, you know, because some things happen that are so classic form the comic books,” Oscar Isaac, who plays Apocalypse, explained.

"X-Men: Apocalypse" opens nationwide tomorrow.
