Though Set In 1983, X-MEN: APOCALYPSE May Be Going Full '90s

The colorful costumes of the '90s X-Men may be on full display in Bryan Singer's X-Men: Apocalypse. Olivia Munn has teased yet another aspect of Psylocke. Quick, someone tell Singer and co. that Dazzler would be a perfect, last minute cameo.

Bryan Singer X-Men: Apocalypse just might be the first film to embrace the X-Men's colorful and vibrant costumes. Particularly, the iconic garb that mutants like Jubilee, Psylocke and others wore during the '90s.  Psylocke actress Olivia Munn has posted another teaser of her transformation for the role on her Instagram account. Check it out. Singer has previously dropped hints that although X-Men: Apocalypse is set in 1983, the '80s are probably the best time period for yellow spandex, purple bodysuits and latex face masks.

Looks cool,
But i hope her hair is different shades of purple, and not just black with purple streaks.

Speaking of Purple Hair,
I miss Blink :(

Is it wrong that I can fap to Olivia Munn's eye?

Is it wrong that I'm doing it at work?

Is it wrong that I paid my coworkers $20 apiece to watch me?

@Cherrybomb

I thought Blink was confirmed for Apocalypse?

pathetic. Another character with just streaks.

1st X3 psylocke, then Blink, and now Psylocke too. So lame

Olivia Munn and Arch Angel may be the only reasons why I see this movie. I want her to use and abuse me.

@mercwithmouth no, yes, and only if you could have gotten them to watch for free

So, this is what we got with fanboyisms: complaining about hair color

They were already watching. I had to pay them to stop giggling and put the tape measures away.

@slickrickdesigns

I'm already an Internet star.

Fan Bingbing said she was contracted for the next four X-Men films.
However, her contract means they can bring her in any four future movies I don't think that specifically means Apoclaypse. She hasn't been confirmed by Singer or any one else and isn't mentioned on any cast lists.

I don't think she's coming back, and sadly I can't see them having two Asian, purple haired mutants with purple glowing powers appearing in the same film.

If they're planning on movies set in the present then I think she could appear

@mercwithmouth ah carry on then

MercwithMouth - 7/16/2015, 7:47 AM
Thanks @CherryBomb

Maybe she'll show up in Wolverine III. Or X-Force, or New Mutants.

What we need is a featurette about the process of getting her into the costume...! ;)

I miss The Newsroom. Her and Don were the best part of that show.

Comment won't seem to post but if anyone wants to make an article of it Ian Mckellon did an interview where he said superman was a joke. Might be good for a couple pages of comments.

This will be 1 of 5 characters (at least) that have shamelessly been used in different incarnations in the FoX-Verse. They don't care at all.

Any reason it's not letting me post a url?

@Mercwithmouth

Yeah that's what im thinking. It'd be cool if she was a mentor to the New Mutants team

Please let this be the movie where we finally see Hugh Jackman in the mask, even if it is only for 30 seconds or so. Love Olivia Munn as Psylocke casting too, hopefully she could be in other movies even though Singer is done after this.

@HAILHYDRA

I love continuity but when it's rectifying absolute tragedies caused by Brett Ratner, such as Psylocke and Angel, then I'm happy.

Psylocke also had purple highlights in X3, but still no costume.

XK1D - 7/16/2015, 8:06 AM
I kinda knew it'd be purple streaks instead of a full head of purple hair... I know Munn wouldn't think of dying all of her hair purple for the movie, but they could always use a wig, I can't wait to see the full look!
CherryBomb
CherryBomb - 7/16/2015, 8:07 AM
Her costume in the Apocalypse trailer was utter perfection

In other news, Ant-Man just pass 80 reviews with an above 75% approval rating. That certified fresh emblem is coming soon!

That'd be awesome. Hopefully her, Bishop, Sunspot, and possibly Beast.

@blackandyellow I'm pretty sure she already is

HAILHYDRA - 7/16/2015, 8:14 AM
@CherryBomb, I get it that The Last Stand was garbage, but there's no real proof that it would've been any better under Singer. The story would've been the same and that was one of the worst parts. Ratner gets a lot of blame when Singer was the one that abandoned the project to make a subpar Superman film.

Either way, the fact that The Last Stand was such garbage shouldn't mean that FOX can just say well to hell with it and abandon continuity. I can't believe fans still give them a pass. Technically, they have made 2 films that have pretty much been ignored since then.
