Olivia Munn is ready to play her role in Bryan Singer's upcoming "X-Men: Apocalypse."
Munn is playing the telepathic mutant Psylocke in Singer's forthcoming superhero film. The actress shared a new video on her official Instagram account, featuring her while practicing her combat skills. Munn demonstrates her Psylocke abilities through a series of kicks as her opponent moves backward. Her boyfriend and Green Bay Packers star quarterback Aaron Rogers is in the video as well.
In June, Munn also shared her video while demonstrating her katana skills, as her character Psylocke can utilize psionic forces to create her own weapons like the psychic katana. Just like in Munn's new video, Rogers was also present in the previous video, with his sword skills fitting in for "Star Wars," as per Comic Book.
According to Munn, her character Psylocke will be seen as a strong and deadly mutant in "X-Men: Apocalypse," with her tight costume not being an issue. Along with her sword dancing skills, purple hair, and telepathic aptitudes, Psyclocke is expected as one of the greatest threat to the titular team in the Singer's film.
Created by writer Chris Claremont and illustrator Herb Trimpe in 1976, Psylocke is also known as Elizabeth "Betsy" Braddock and Betsy. Accompanied by her expertise in using her hallmark weapon, the katana, Psylocke is also known for her telekinetic and telepathic powers.
Singer has also confirmed that his upcoming "X-Men: Apocalypse" will serve as the onset of the real X-Men, according to Den of Geek. Along with its release are Tim Miller's "Deadpool," which stars Ryan Reynolds and Rupert Wyatt's "Gambit," starring Channing Tatum.
Aside from Munn, "X-Men: Apocalypse" stars Ian McKellen, Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Hugh Jackman, Jennifer Lawrence, Lucas Till, Nicholas Hoult, Lana Condor, Alexandra Shipp, Sophie Turner, Tye Sheridan, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Ben Hardy, Evan Peters, Rose Byrne, Josh Helman, and Oscar Isaac, among others.
