15 Most Exciting Upcoming Comic Book Movie Performances
14. Olivia Munn's Psylocke (X-Men: Apocalypse)
Psylocke is a cult favourite. The reason being is not because shes a smoking hot British/Japanese woman who perennially dons a leotard. Its because shes all of those things plus a PSYCHIC NINJA. Olivia Munn is set to bring Psylocke to the big screen in X-Men: Apocalypse and that should make you incredibly excited for a number of reasons. Least of all being that were going to see much more Psylocke cosplaying from here on out... A potent mix of Asian and European, Munn not only looks like Psylocke, but she's also an experienced martial artist. She's a black belt in karate, having started as a five year old. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDhdUrfx5YM Psylocke is easily one of the most badass women in not just X-Men canon, but the entirety of the Marvel Universe. Usually, mutants with psychic powers do boring things like read your dirty little thoughts, kill Cyclops off-screen or go bald. Psylocke is much more practical. Including the above, she also creates psychic knives that shell use to stab you in the head and leave you a dribbling mess. If you want to check out why Psylocke is not one to be trifled with, read the phenomenal Uncanny X-Force by Rick Remender, in which she is just as, if not more, dangerous than both Wolverine and Deadpool.
