Rebecca Romijn had her first major movie role in 2000’s X-Men as Mystique; she returned to the role in 2003’s sequel X2 and again for X-Men: The Last Stand in 2006. In these films, Romijn’s costume consisted of blue makeup and some strategically placed prosthetics on her otherwise nude body. In X2 Romijn shows up in a bar in one scene in her “normal” look, and in X-Men, The Last Stand, she appears as a dark-haired “de-powered” Mystique. The role has since been recast with Jennifer Lawrence playing the younger version of the character. She had her first leading role in Brian De Palma’s Femme Fatale in 2002. Romijn also has starred in movies such as Rollerball, The Punisher playing a woman named Joan (Joan and Mystique are both characters from Marvel Comics and Godsend.

Romijn played Alexis Meade, a transgender woman and the sibling of lead character Daniel Meade. However, it was reported in April 2008, that Romijn would only be appearing as a recurring character in Season 3 due to a change in direction by the writing staff (aligning, fortuitously enough, with Romijn’s pregnancy, which would have been inconsistent with her character’s storyline). Romijn made a guest appearance in November 2007, on the ABC series Carpoolers, where she played the ex-wife of the character Laird, played by her real-life husband Jerry O’Connell.
Romijn starred in the ABC series Eastwick, reuniting her with her former Pepper Dennis co-star, Lindsay Price, before ABC canceled the show on November 9, 2009.

Romijn starred in TNT’s series King & Maxwell between June and September 2013, as Michelle Maxwell, a former Secret Service agent who works as a private investigator.

In 2015, Romijn was also featured on the song “Color Me Love” for RuPaul’s eighth studio album Realness.
