Olivia Munn has joined the cast of “X-Men: Apocalypse,” signing on as Betsy Braddock, a.k.a. Psylocke.
Director Bryan Singer posted the news on Instagram on Monday.
Psylocke made her first appearance in the comicbooks in 1976, but hasn’t had a large presence in the films. The mutant’s only movie appearance was in 2006’s “X-Men: The Last Stand,” where she served as one of the minor villains following Magneto and was played by Mei Melançon. Psylocke’s powers have been altered a few times, but they include telepathy and telekinesis, among others.
Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart, who played Magneto and Professor X respectively, will not be returning for the next installment. “Apocalypse” will be Jennifer Lawrence’s last appearance as Mystique, she recently confirmed.
Singer is directing the film from a script by Simon Kinberg, Dan Harris and Michael Dougherty.
“X-Men: Apocalypse” is set to bow on May 27, 2016.
