Olivia Munn shows off swordplay for upcoming Psylocke role in X-Men: Apocalypse

Purple hair, swordplay... could it get better?

If you're going to take the role of a katana weilding procgnitive telepath who dabbles in telekenisis, you need to learn at least one of the talents you will be pretending to have. Olivia Munn will be portraying the mutant Psylocke in the upcoming X-Men: Apocalypse film and she has been learning some new tricks to help play the part.

Since Munn can't really become a telekenetic or a telepath, she's honing in on her swordplay — as she revealed on her Instagram account.

It was revealed earlier this year that Munn will be sporting purple hair for the role, sounds like things are coming together nicely!

 

Learned some new tricks…
