Awesome New Image Of Olivia Munn As 'Psylocke'; Actress Reveals Why She Loves The X-MEN: APOCALYPSE Character
A gorgeous hi-res image of Olivia Munn fully suited up as Psylocke in X-Men: Apocalypse has been released, while the actress sheds some light on what drew her to the "really strong badass female character."
CNET have a lengthy profile on X-Men: Apocalypse star Olivia Munn, and with that comes an awesome new image of the actress suited up as the villainous (?) member of the titular villain's Four Horsemen. Talking about what attracted her to the role, Munn - who we know insisted on a purple costume - revealed: "I’ve loved Psylocke for so long. She’s a really, really strong badass female character in this comic book world where a lot of times the women don’t get to be strong and badass. You see a lot of superheroes [who] don’t always want to kill, and they’ll avoid it if they can. She’s never had a problem killing, and I like that she was the bad guy that had no problem being the bad guy. She’s telekinetic and telepathic so she can read your mind. She can create anything with her mind. To win any fights, she can just create a mountain and have it fall down on you, but she chooses to create a sword so she can kill up close and personal. I always thought that was really cool and badass."
As well as returning cast members Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, and Nicholas Hoult, X-Men: Apocalypse will also introduce Alexandra Shipp, Sophie Turner, Tye Sheridan, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Lana Condor, Oscar Isaac, Ben Hardy, Olivia Munn, and a number of others. The movie is set to be released on May 27th, 2016. What do you guys think of this new look at Munn as Psylocke? Sound off below...
