Olivia Munn Releases Photo of Herself as Psylocke in X-MEN: APOCALYPSE
Over the holiday weekend, Olivia Munn shared a new behind-the-scenes photo of herself as Betsy Braddock, a.k.a. Psylocke, in Bryan Singer’s X-Men Apocalypse. The photo came along with a little comment about the character:
"She's a telekinetic telepath who chooses to kill with a sword because she wants to do it up close and intimate and killing from afar just seems too easy and no fun."
Sounds like my kind of ruthless killer! It’s good to see Munn taking on a villainous role like this. It suits her.
Since the dawn of civilization, he was worshiped as a god. Apocalypse, the first and most powerful mutant from Marvel’s X-Men universe, amassed the powers of many other mutants, becoming immortal and invincible. Upon awakening after thousands of years, he is disillusioned with the world as he finds it and recruits a team of powerful mutants, including a disheartened Magneto (Michael Fassbender), to cleanse mankind and create a new world order, over which he will reign. As the fate of the Earth hangs in the balance, Raven (Jennifer Lawrence) with the help of Professor X (James McAvoy) must lead a team of young X-Men to stop their greatest nemesis and save mankind from complete destruction.
X-Men: Apocalypse is set to open in theaters on May 27th, 2016.
