Psylocke [Source] |
Olivia Munn posted a wicked video to her Instagram account showing her sword skills with a kendo stick. The 34-year-old actress is preparing for her role as the mutant Psylocke in X-Men: Apocalypse (2017). In the background her boyfriend, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, showed off his skills using a baseball bat.
Elizabeth “Betsy” Braddock (or Psylocke) is an Asian mutant with psychic abilities. She’s also a master martial artist who wields a katana. It looks like Munn is working hard to train for the role. “Learned some new tricks…” Munn writes. When her casting was first announced fans began complaining that she didn’t have the physical skills to play the character and she just shut them down.
Directed by Bryan Singer, X-Men: Apocalypse stars James McAvoy (Professor X), Michael Fassbender (Magneto), Jennifer Lawrence (Mystique), Nicholas Hoult (Beast), Alexandra Shipp (Storm), Lana Condor (Jubilee), Ben Hardy (Archangel), Sophie Turner (Jean Grey), with Tye Sheridan (Cyclops), and Oscar Isaac (Apocalypse). X-Men: Apocalypse is scheduled to hit theaters May 27, 2016

Wow amazing! shes really handy with that lightsaber…. so winning!
She'd kick my butt, that's for sure.
She looks like she's getting some mad skills! Can't wait for this one to release!
Love a woman who can handle a sword! 🙂
I guess if football doesn't work out Aaron Rodgers can go play baseball.
He does a good job swinging the bat Pat. Not as good as Munn. But good
She'sgoing to be one of the greats Yolanda!
I'm excited about this one too Meradeth! The cast seems very committed
She'd kick all our butts
For the win! Almost as good as Sulu!
she needs a break since leaving "attack of the show"… all, okay most of her projects came up as stinkers. she handles that sword very nice.
I just watched the movie for the hundredth time and I just thought, what happens if two Na'vi do the hair connecting thing together(idk how to spell the word they say)!!??
She looks good to me.
all of this can be answered with 1 word…. evolution
Energy for science gets from a stylish sensibility, not a down to earth one. We find something new about the world and that gives us a chance to better value its magnificence. I truly extremely appreciate perusing your great and valuable post much appreciated. Quicksilver X Men Jacket
