She’s played everyone from “Hunger Games” protagonist Katniss Everdeen, to a jealous wife in “American Hustle,” to a ballerina-turned-Russian spy in her latest film, but Jennifer Lawrence says her next role could be portraying a real-life potential 2020 contender.
When asked which political character she’d want to play, Lawrence told ITK, “I could play Sen. [Elizabeth] Warren as Pocahontas.”
The quip was an apparent reference to a slur lobbed at the Massachusetts Democrat by President Trump.
The commander in chief has called Warren — who claims partial Native American heritage — “Pocahontas” before, most recently at a November event honoring Navajo Code Talkers.
Warren’s critics have accused her in the past of claiming Native American heritage in order to advance her academic career.
While she’s known for her activism and work with the anti-political corruption group Represent.us, Lawrence veered away from political talk while in Washington on Thursday to promote her upcoming movie, “Red Sparrow.”
“Oh, I’m not going to get into all that,” she replied when asked after her Warren remark who she might root for in the 2020 White House race.
The 27-year-old actress has been an outspoken critic of Trump, saying last year that any face-to-face encounter she would have with the president would likely end “with a martini to the face.”
The Academy Award winner opened up a little more about politics during a Q&A session hosted by The New York Times following Thursday’s red carpet at the Newseum.
Moderator Scott Shane questioned whether there were any qualms about releasing “Red Sparrow” during a time when Americans have a “huge obsession with Russia” because of the country’s interference in the 2016 presidential election.
“As soon as we start letting fear muzzle our creative expression, then we’ve lost,” Lawrence said.
“Red Sparrow” opens in theaters on March 2.
Play.
Children play.
How fascinating you are not, Jennifer.
Saw the trailer for Red Sparrow..has to be other than Amy Schumer’s I Feel Pretty..one of the most idiotic films ever made
“apparent reference to a slur” fake news— Pocahontas is not a slur..
Unfortunately for all of us Obama played president and look how well that worked out.
No, it is a matter of verifiable fact that this is exactly what Warren did. She used deception to claim minority heritage for the sole purpose of self advancement to the detriment of other candidates.
That The Hill frames this issue as something only "her critics" point out only serves to show that The Hill's author is sympathetic to Warren and likely to the Democrat Party. A very simply journalist type search would reveal the facts that Warren did indeed foster this deception, but I suppose it's too much to ask that a journalist do their job lest they are forced to confront the truth which would then prevent them from assisting their Party of choice.
I presume that Jennifer Lawrence would phone in that performance like she did her performance in X-Men Apocalypse.
She is one of our Special Children

Perfect, a fake actress playing a fake Injun posing as a fake lawyer who gets $350K per year to teach a fake law class before parlaying her fake credentials into a fake national political career.
FAUXCAHONTAS is the perfect title for this film!
so obvious this moron slept to get her parts...
Go for it - your career has already peaked might as well put paid to it.
“so obvious this moron slept to get her parts...”
Yeah ... those leaked photos of her kind of indicate that she did her bid for king and country to become famous.
She *used* to be someone I didn’t mind looking at. Some of her movies were fairly good (American Hustle ... and I dug Joy to some extent ... and Hunger Games) ... these days, I can’t stand to look at her. She just seems scummy.
She’s going to be one of those actors that kind of fades away only to be rediscovered by a Quentin Tarantino kind of director about 15 years from now. She’ll be in some big hit film and she’ll start running her mouth about Trump ruining her career sometime during the end of the second term of the Pence Administration ;-) .
FAUXcahontas. An impostor.
who FALSELY claims Native American hetitage
It’s like when John F Kerry’s staff put into the Congressional record that he was part Irish.
All about votes and getting ahead, who cares about whether democrats tell the truth
What Me Warren???
