that's an interesting casting decision. How is her acting now because she will have several really good actors around her.

well after J-Law leaves, Fox will need another hot woman to focus the plot around instead you know the major characters of the books.

Hmmm...interesting choice.

I have a feeling this means that Psylocke will be a nothing side character though.

Olivia Munn playing a British woman...this can't possibly go wrong...

They'll probably just scrub the British part.

She went from British Lady to Oriental hooker with triple D tits when Jim Lee took over. She could have any number of looks.

Yea, it'll obviously be the Asian version.

I like Olivia Munn, but I'm not a fan of her acting skills.

Munn's plastic surgeon needs to work overtime it seems.

I always wanted Maggie Q for the role, but she is too old now.

Munn was born in 1980 (35 this year)
Quigley was born in 1979 (36 this year)

They're ONE YEAR APART!

Really? Well, I thought Munn was younger. Never really thought about Munn's age. Figured she was in her late 20s.

I also thought they were going for a younger cast.

Interesting.

not really, the XMen were never my favorite, but I read enough of their books and Marvel in general to know that the movies are a poor adaptations of actual X-Men comics. Not just the plot, but the characters as well.

Mystique has no business being the fricking female lead in an X-Men film, especially since Storm has been given the shaft cinematically

Munn looks plenty young enough and I like her in the Newsroom. She is hot enough that her not being a great actor is easily overlooked. I seriously doubt Psylocke is going to be a huge character. Average fans of the movies alone will have no idea who she is.
