Deadpool 2: 12 Rumours That Were Utter Bull

9. Psylocke Joins The X-Force

The Rumour: Given that Psylocke (Olivia Munn) has been a frontline member of the X-Force in the comics, Olivia Munn has expressed extreme interest in joining the team and she's probably the easiest mutant to transfer over from the main X-Men movies (given her standalone presence in X-Men: Apocalypse), many fans were convinced she'd show up in DP2.

The Truth: Psylocke was nowhere to be seen, perhaps due to the rather lukewarm response to Apocalypse in general and Munn's performance as the character. Plus, with the movie already having the stone-faced Cable for Deadpool to play opposite, introducing another relatively humourless character might've felt like overkill.

It could still happen in Deadpool's next outing, be it Deadpool 3 or X-Force, but the further away we get from Apocalypse, the less likely it becomes.
