[Arjen]

Cool, loved her in the Newsroom.

 

[Volimar]

What has Morgan Webb been up to?

 

[strobogo]

I'm sure she'll do well. She's pretty good in what I've seen of her work.

 

[SmithnCo]

What has Morgan Webb been up to?

She works for Blizzard

 

[Delta Assault]

Ugh.

Ugh.

Ugh.

 

[Ivan 3414]

It might also have something to do with the fact smarmy, smirking smartassed white dudes aren't exactly a rare flower in the entertainment world.

And it might also have something to do with the fact that Kevin Pereira isn't an actor regardless

 

[harSon]

Yeah buncha people in here obviously haven't seen her in The a Newsroom. This sounds good to me.

Watch Deliver Us from Evil

 

[xenist]

Putting the internet's ridiculously pathetic hateboner for Munn aside, I bet FOX is cramming as many named mutants as possible in these films for IP reasons.

 

[gutter_trash]

I first read Olivia Wild.. but then read Olivia Munn..... LOL

 

[strobogo]

And it might also have something to do with the fact that Kevin Pereira isn't an actor regardless

Kevin Pereira is a talentless, ugly hack.

 

[FlashbladeGAF]

It isn't like Psylocke does much anyway.

Then at least get someone who can kick ass (if they are doing ninja assassin version).
That way they leave an impression when they actually have to do something.

like this guy

doesn't say shit but his actions speak volumes

 

[kiguel182]

She was good on the Newsroom, it's going to be interesting to see how she fares on a big movie.

 

[DoktorEvil]

She works for Blizzard

Good for her.

Doing what?

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

I'm sure she'll do well. She's pretty good in what I've seen of her work.

She likely will, but the script is the worry for me, given how "side mutants" are threated in such a throw away manner in the -films

 

[Escape Goat]

What has Morgan Webb been up to?

I miss Morgan Webb's reviews. She presented herself well.

 

[Nokagi]

Kevin Pereira is a talentless, ugly hack.

Yeah but what do you really think of him?

 

[Tesseract]

she's awesome, worked her ass off to get where she is. plus she's incredibly smart and, uh, feisty.

 

[BLACKLAC]

Yeah buncha people in here obviously haven't seen her in The a Newsroom. This sounds good to me.

I love Newsroom. She's terrible.

 

[Teggy]

With Deadpool coming, we can almost have an Uncanny X-Force movie!

 

[Salsa]

she's awesome, worked her ass off to get where she is. plus she's incredibly smart and, uh, feisty.

this is pretty much how I feel

she's a bad actress, but it's not for lack of trying

some of the responses here are fucking embarrasing

"UGH THE HOT GAMING SLUT GOOD FOR NOTHING"

I wish she could see and laugh at the people who shame her like that and then fap to old G4 gifs or whatever


here's hoping she nails this

 

[Sn4ke_911]

 

[keltickennedy]

I would be more worried if she was cast as Wolverine. Ain't no other mutants getting major screen time, am I right?

Wolverine: Age of Wolverine.

 

[Discotheque]

Not a fan of this but I don't think she'll have much screentime either so it's fine

bulk of it I imagine will be going to young cyclops/Jean and apocalypse

Excited to see what sort of action he comes up with between having blink, nightcrawler and quicksilver back. And I wonder who he has in mind for his stand-out setpiece

Edit; that fanart is pretty good actually, might change my mind

 

[strobogo]

Yeah but what do you really think of him?

That he's terribly unfunny, has the most annoying voice and attitude, and in general is dog shit at everything he's involved with in the entertainment profession. If I saw that dude in a role in a franchise I liked, I would absolutely avoid that movie.

 

[xenist]

Not even Sorkin loved The Newsroom.

 

[tirminyl]

Not like this. Psylocke is one of my favorite characters.

 

[M.W.]

Discount Double-wha???

 

[bigosc2k]

Why?

 

[BertramCooper]

It must really frustrate Bryan Singer to not be able to cast 17-year-old boys in every single role in an X-Men movie.

 

[Currygan]

my excitement for this movie reached subzero levels

 

[Kinyou]

This is her British accent:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_2by8nonco

I'm ok with this (The casting that is)

If she'd play exactly like this in X-men it would be kind of hilarious

With Deadpool coming, we can almost have an Uncanny X-Force movie!

Man, that would be awesome, but Deadpool would have to do really well. An X-force movie would need that R-rating.

 

[killdatninja]

Count me in on the hater's side.

On the plus side, she won't have much screen time to fuck things up like Megan Fox. She does look the part, and as long as she's limited to 5-10 minutes it should be aight.

 

[Escape Goat]

It must really frustrate Bryan Singer to not be able to cast 17-year-old boys in every single role in an X-Men movie.

What does that mean?

 

[BronsonLee]

*punch*

 

[Salsa]

What does that mean?

you're in for a treat

 

[googleplex]

Love that costume

but definitely think the other will work better in real life.

What a ridiculous outfit.

 

[Tesseract]

some nasty misogyny in munn threads, always the same shit.

i adore munn because she's a scholar, like her awesome sibling (brother is a physicist)

 

[Escape Goat]

you're in for a treat

 

[Buddha Beam]

I thought Psylocke was supposed to be asian..?

 

[gazele]

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

you do know olivia munn is asian right?

Don't think I've ever heard her try to do a british accent

I thought Psylocke was supposed to be asian..?

Her mom is asian

 

[keltickennedy]

I thought Psylocke was supposed to be asian..?

Wow...able to use that twice.

 

[Kinyou]

What a ridiculous outfit.

You're a ridiculous outfit

(We'll probably get a variation of her current costume)

 

[Malreyn]

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

Not originally, and the fact that Fox just shoves whatever mutant they can find in their films means her "story" will never get its due justice.

 

[Fusebox]

I know GAF has an irrational hate boner for Munn but I think she's fucking great and this is great news.

 

[RetroMG]

Definitely thought "Olivia Wilde" in my head and got excited. Sigh.

Me too, man. Me too.

 

[strobogo]

some nasty misogyny in munn threads, always the same shit.

i adore munn because she's a learner, like her awesome siblings (sister is a lawyer, brother a physicist)

Misogyny and some homophobia thrown in just for fun. Such is GAF.

 

[Zoolader]

She'd be better as Jubilee. I can't take Olivia Munn's acting seriously. Her physique isn't too convincing for Psylocke either let's be honest.

 

[Fusebox]

Her physique isn't too convincing for Psylocke either let's be honest.

Why, because she doesn't have gravity-defying DD comicbook norks?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Yeah, I'm a little mad that her fake acting self made it, but the dude from Attack of the Show is nowhere to be seen. I think that white America having a thing for white and Asian women has something to do with that.

How in the world did the attractive and likable female make it in Hollywood over Kevin and his carefully crafted "sarcastic white guy" schtick? Life is just so unfair sometimes.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

She'd be better as Jubilee. I can't take Olivia Munn's acting seriously. Her physique isn't too convincing for Psylocke either let's be honest.

If fans are expecting a flesh and blood human being to look like a Jim Lee drawing they're setting themselves up for perpetual disappointment.
