I don't remember much about Psylocke. Remind me again of why this is a bad casting decision?

I mean, she's hot and Psylocke's hot...

that's about it

people were clearly expecting the movie to somehow be about a character that will be in the background for fan service and wanted an oscar performance out of it

 

[Sephzilla]

SHE'S NOT EVEN FUCKING BRITISH.

Hugh Jackman isn't Canadian, Patrick Stewart isn't American, and Colossus wasn't Russian.

 

[neojubei]

Meh. Don't hate her but maybe she'll give more of a damn then January Jones.

Well cannot argue with that

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

The scary thing I just realized, Olivia Munn already has a role in the MCU, appearing as Chess Roberts in Iron Man 2.

This makes her the first actor or actress to appear in both the MCU and the Fox MCU (excluding Chris Evans, but they're rebooting his former franchise so it doesn't really count.)

 

[Kickz]

She'll be ok for the 10 minutes they'll need her for

Good call.

Now please get rid of JLaw, this franchise now belongs to Fassbender.

 

[- J - D -]

What's the problem? She's pretty and can most likely perform the most basic requirements asked of her in this superhero ensemble movie. Is there something particularly odious about her that I'm not aware of?

 

[LaNaranja]

I wonder if she will get more screen time here than she did in Iron Man 2.

 

[Alienous]

Guys, it's X-Men, not Shakespeare

It was when it had Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart.

 

[adamsappel]

She's hot, but isn't Psylocke asian?

OLIVIA MUNN IS ASIAN!

 

[Flo_Evans]

Days of Future Past was great.

uh.. not the one I just watched.

I mean captain picard and fassbender are great but everything is is just... bad.

 

[crisdecuba]

She's hot, but isn't Psylocke asian?

Isn't Olivia Munn Asian?

 

[BronsonLee]

I guess? I mean if you look into most actors they're on dumb commercials and awful shows before making it big. A bunch of gamers just happen to be uniquely aware of her being on a G4 show.

I suppose. Paul Giamatti was in a goddamn video game about Jack the Ripper!

 

[Blader]

Went huh at this news at first, but she actually was pretty good in the Newsroom.

 

[Dysun]

These movies are all horrible anyway who cares?

Days of Future Past was great tho

 

[EloquentM]

Olivia is Asian guys. She's half.

Nope, Ray Stevenson was in Punisher and played Volstagg in Thor.

 

[Metroidvania]

Emma Frost was a bit of an oddity, both for being in the 'old school' First Class rather than the 'present' series, January Jones not really giving as hit, and Emma herself not really having a great role.

If Munn can pull off a decent British accent, and the character isn't used in an egregious way, not a big deal.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

10/10 post right here.

 

[Fenderputty]

The hate she gets is weird.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Didn't she once eat a hot dog on national TV? Do they really want to associate with a women who would do that?

how horrifying

 

[Strike]

Nooooooo...

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Lets do this.

 

[DoktorEvil]

that's about it

people were clearly expecting the movie to somehow be about a character that will be in the background for fan service and wanted an oscar performance out of it

It's a step down from the work she's put in on The Newsroom, but she's guaranteed a fat paycheck from it, at least.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Hugh Jackman isn't Canadian, Patrick Stewart isn't American, and Colossus wasn't Russian.

Yes, but history has shown us...

Foreign actors trying to do an American accent: Awesome.
American actors trying to do a foreign accent: Horrible.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Hope she's not in it much. She's as awful as January Jones.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

"Who knew Jennifer Lawrence the badass from Hunger Games would be abysmal in an X-Men movie?"

Nobody knew Jennifer Lawrence was "the badass from Hunger Games" when she was put in First Class. She was that one girl from that one movie about cold erections or whatever.

Lets do this.

Seeing the pre-production art for Angel, I'm wondering if the costume inspiration this time out will be based on Kris Anka's stuff.

Because that would be a really good idea.

 

[FunkyPajamas]

Lets do this.

I'm ok with that.

 

[Zeus Molecules]

Will she do a better job than January jones is the only question I have.

 

[Sephzilla]

Yes, but history has shown us...

Foreign actors trying to do an American accent: Awesome.
American actors trying to do a foreign accent: Horrible.

Just have her not do an accent, a la what Marvel did with Black Widow.

I'd say she might not even need to have a British accent, given how loose studios (Marvel or Fox) are with their character interpretations. Ex. Quicksilver/Peter in DOFP not being Romanian or whatever he is.

 

[RS4-]

Should've got Arden Cho.

 

[jon bones]

Considering she's been jumping from actors to directors to sports guys to try and be popular and knowns she's basically more manufactured than the Khardasians.

Minus the porn vid and with about as much talent.

this is some goobergate level shit lol

 

[Salsa]

The hate she gets is weird.

it's really understandable

she got ahead from G4, where a bunch of gamers tuned in to see her tits and lick shit and eat hot dogs or whatever

now she makes it big and that gamer crowd feels somehow betrayed as if she cheated her way in or something, and call out the fact that she's hot and can't act etc etc, whereas they usde to watch her because of those same reasons

it's awful, but not hard to understand

 

[BronsonLee]

Will she do a better job than January jones is the only question I have.

I think it is statistically impossible for her to do worse

 

[Shaanyboi]

Lets do this.

Kris Anka design should be the new standard, atleast for the Fox films. His approach for tactical outfits is so damn good.

 

[TheSeks]

Suddenly, just like that... my interest in X-men: Apocalypse has vanished.

Thank you, Olivia Munn. No, really.

 

[SilentRacoon]

She's not a very good actress though

Neither is Jennifer Lawrence and yet here we are.

 

[The Silver]

Would you guys stop reminding me what they did to Emma Frost.......fuck man.

 

[FunkyPajamas]

Nobody knew Jennifer Lawrence was "the badass from Hunger Games" when she was put in First Class. She was that one girl from that one movie about cold erections or whatever.

Also, The Beaver.

 

[Bizazedo]

I can totally see her as Psylocke. Hopefully she can act, haven't watched Newsroom.

I can, too, actually.

I thought Psylocke was asian though?

She's Asian. Partially.

I'm mostly okay with it but I reserve judgment until I hear her English accent.

Singer doesn't care about comics. He's doing what he wants.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Will she do a better job than January jones is the only question I have.

Unquestionably yes... has January been good in anything, really? I mean even in Mad Men she was kind of the weak link...

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

im okay with this





i mean yeah I have not seen her act any good but she definitely has the look

 

[Salsa]

Considering she's been jumping from actors to directors to sports guys to try and be popular and knowns she's basically more manufactured than the Khardasians.

Minus the porn vid and with about as much talent.

man you really must be bummed out that she wouldn't fuck you

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Lucy Lui is getting up there so it looks like Hollywood found their new go-to Asian actress.

 

[DoktorEvil]

Got some receipts for this, chief?

 

[Flo_Evans]

Lets do this.

naw...

 

[Scientist Supreme!]

She's not going to be anything like character in comic or given any screen time to develop anything like 99% of the men in these movies, so do whatever

 

[Coconut]

Look wise she is prefect casting acting wise that's another story.

 

[Tizoc]

Someone post the panel where Nightcrawler asks Wolverine about Psylocke

 

[Maximus.]

I wonder how her costume will look in the movie. Not expecting a skimpy one piece, but since its the 80's I doubt it will be some sleek modern jumpsuit, though I could be wrong.
