Olivia Munn

Principal photography on X-Men: Apocalypse – the followup to X-Men: Days of Future Past and the conclusion to the X-Men: First Class movie trilogy – may begin before this month draws to a close, with Bryan Singer for sure back in the director's chair.

The latest update from Singer? Olivia Munn has joined the Apocalypse cast as Betsy Braddock a.k.a. the telepathic mutant called Psylocke.

Munn's fellow newcomers to the cinematic world of X-Men in Singer's upcoming film include Channing Tatum as Gambit, Game of Thrones' Sophie Turner as a younger Jean Grey, as well as newcomer Landa Condor as Jubilation Lee a.k.a. Jubilee and Ben Hardy (EastEnders) as (Arch)angel – confirmed by Singer recently – among other young stars.

The year 2016 will be important for the X-Men movie franchise; not just because there are three installments due to reach theaters, but also because those films (Deadpool, X Men: Apocalypse, and Gambit) will make or break any plans for a team-up with these new mutants.
