Olivia Munn: Psylocke has no problem being the bad guy in X-MEN: APOCALYPSE.

Apocalypse - Psylocke and Storm

Actress Olivia Munn recently spoke with CNet about integrating technology into her life, and she briefly opened up about what drew her to the role of Psylocke in director Bryan Singer’s upcoming X-MEN: APOCALYPSE.

“I’ve loved Psylocke for so long,” she said. “She’s a really, really strong badass female character in this comic book world where a lot of times the women don’t get to be strong and badass. You see a lot of superheroes [who] don’t always want to kill, and they’ll avoid it if they can. She’s never had a problem killing, and I like that she was the bad guy that had no problem being the bad guy. She’s telekinetic and telepathic so she can read your mind. She can create anything with her mind. To win any fights, she can just create a mountain and have it fall down on you, but she chooses to create a sword so she can kill up close and personal. I always thought that was really cool and badass.”
