Olivia Munn is visibly psyched to be joining the X-Men universe. The actress, last seen on HBOs The Newsroom, is a huge fan of the comic book series and takes it very seriously. Says Munn, My sister just graduated magna c*m laude from law school. My little brother just became a master physicist, hes going to go get his PhD. Thats where theyre at. And yet we talk about X-Men as if were talking about the Civil War.
One of the most striking aspects of Psylocke is her rather risqu outfit, a conscious choice made by Apocalypse, who dresses all of his minions. Psylockes outfit or uniform or suit or whatever you want to call it is very sexual, admits Munn. Ive got like my thigh-highs and a halter, but the thing about that, and that was important, is that it doesnt matter what Im wearing as long as were all aware of who she is. Shes very strong and shes very lethal and shes very powerful, and it doesnt really matter what shes wearing as long as you have that strength and that presence.
But wearing skin-tight latex does have its challenges. Now it fits like a glove, but its kind of hard because theres been times where Im pulling and it pops like a balloon, which did happen day one, admits Munn. Day one, I was like, Uh, guys, uh, do we have a backup? Sorry I popped my crotch.
