X-Men: Apocalypse is right around the corner, and in the run-up to its release we're going to be seeing more and more cool tidbits from the anticipated movie. Today's item: Olivia Munn has shared a new set image of herself all dolled up as Psylocke, and she looks pretty badass. https://www.instagram.com/p/BAApNqvsmRi/?taken-by=oliviamunn That has to be the most faithful X-Men costume we've seen adapted in the history of the franchise, and the splash of colour there has me wondering why Bryan Singer didn't think the main X-Men deserved the same. As we've seen from the trailer, our heroes will again be sporting moody black battle-gear. It's definitely a shame, especially as last go round (in Days Of Future Past) Wolverine, Beast and Professor X simply wore their own clothes to the final tussle with Magneto and Mystique, which didn't leave them feeling like X-Men at all (fair play at the time the team was disbanded, but the Professor surely had some old blue-and-yellow duds lying about somewhere!). Even the future-set X-Men lacked logos in their standard drab attire. But I guess when the world has gone to hell in a handbasket and you've been attacked and/or enslaved by sentient robots, identifying yourself as X-Men isn't really necessary. At the very least, we've got Psylocke in her purple bikini this time out.
X-Men: Apocalypse is released on 19 May 2016 in the UK and 27 May in the US.
