I'm sure you've seen multiple videos and articles that showed Oliva Munn showing off her training for Psylocke in X-Men: Apocalypse. Her training paid off, because it was revealed in a previous interview that Munn did all of her stunts for the upcoming film. In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, Munn spoke on that, and revealed why she wanted to perform all of her stunts. "That was me from the beginning to the end. That was a really cool thing to feel like when I showed up on set I was like, "Oh wait, I can do this! Throw me onto a wire, give me a sword – I'm good!'" Later in the interview, she spoke on Psylocke's character, and revealed what we should expect from her when the film hit theaters. "Psylocke is such a powerful, lethal character. It was important to me that I was able to do all of the stunts because the more believable it is, the better it is for the audience -- and the only way to make it believable is for me to actually do it."

Olivia revealed that she trained six to seven hours each day in order to get in the right shape for the upcoming X-Men film. Her training included Tae Kwon Do, sword fighting, wirework, and more. Below are some of the articles which highlighted Olivia's intense training. If interested, check those out! If not, share your thoughts in the comment section below!

Good for you, Olivia. Does that mean I can just tell @Gusto to stop looking through my kids bedroom windows at night and he will?

@Dev7 aint wrong but on this site Megan Fox could star in a Marvel or DC film and people would easily support it...

She doesn't have the English accent. I knew when they cast her she wouldn't have it. Why didn't Singer just cast an English actress of mixed Asian heritage? It's not like Munn is this super big actress. I like her and am happy for her but it's odd casting. She looks great in the suit but so would a lot of women. We will wait and see.
