I don't know what I'm more surprised by... The character being included or the actress that's playing her.

 

[JP]

Well, we knew about Psylocke from Jeff Sneider a few weeks ago. My surprise is definitely Munn. I assumed it would be another no name actress in a thankless role...

 

[John-An]

Oh geez...

 

[psyonic]

She's alright, I've only seen her on The Newsroom though.

 

[TheComicbookKid]

I wonder if these means the role is being setup for more appearances.

 

[Electrix]

They are definitely setting up for sequels with all these new additions. Plenty of females in the cast too

 

[xrs13]

I'm betting she is a horseman, her and angel together

 

[JEM]

I am in love

 

[EnDz0n3]

That and i've only known Munn thru comedy shows (Daily show) and talky-shows (The Newsroom).

I have faith though

 

[John-An]

Haven't seen much of her. But physically she FITS!!!

 

[GuestStar2004]

Wow amazed to hear this

 

[Mace Dolex]

Psylocke was my crush in the 90's X-Men comics.

As for Olivia playing her,...ehh....what can I say, not even remotely who I would have expected but under Bryan Singer's direction it can't get that bad after all she did an ok job convincing the fans that Rebecca Romain could play Mystique.

 

[EnDz0n3]

I just tweeted this to Olivia:

Welcome to the X-men Betsy Braddock! Hope you survive the X-perience!

 

[SuperT]

I would have NEVER guessed Munn in the role, but I'm excited to see her take on Betsy!

 

[EnDz0n3]

Is psylocolossus having a seizure?

 

[Mace Dolex]

I just know the fans will nitpick over this but will Olivia employ a British accent for Psylocke? I seriously don't care for it especially if it sounds phoney.

 

[Weather Witch]

Glad to have Psylocke on board and having more female X-Men is great!
Also she is the second actress who had a small role in an Iron Man movie and then took on a well-known character in an X-Men movie instead.

 

[Stringer]

I would be excited if I didn't feel this is probably a worthless role.

 

[LEOZZTT]

 

[MarvelU]

Sexy assassin Ninja? I'm in.

I wouldn't mind a role for her like Mystique had in X-Men 1 and X-Men 2.

 

[Kermit_The_Frog]

Nice! Haven't seen her in a lot, but I think she's a good fit for the role.

 

[MarvelU]

 

[Joaqenix]

I would be excited if I didn't feel this is probably a worthless role.

Luckily, Olivia Munn is famous-ish enough that its probably a decent sized part.

Really excited that we have another female part, and equally excited that its someone a little older. Feel like we have enough student-aged characters at this point.

 

[Kermit_The_Frog]

Quick! Nice!
