The newest X-Men: Apocalypse teaser revealed Professor X’s new class of mutants are definitely not prepared for a fight, let alone a war against humankind. In fact, Jean Grey looks pretty scared in the latest trailer.
X-Men: Apocalypse ’s teaser aired during Super Bowl 50 on this Sunday. The 30-second clip featured the new class of mutants fighting against Apocalypse’s Four Horsemen. However, the most interesting mutant of the Four Horsemen has to Psylocke. In the teaser, Psylocke using her psychic Katana to cut through a car in the middle of a battle. She’s incredibly strong and possibly the biggest obstacle for the X-Men to pass through before they can even touch Apocalypse.
Olivia Munn, who plays Psylocke in the upcoming movie, recently told Screen Rant her character was the only member of Apocalypse’s Four Horsemen he didn’t need to convince to join his cause. Psylocke believes in Apocalypse’s vision for the world, but doesn’t realize she’s a pawn in his game until it’s too late.
“[Apocalypse] first meets her and she’s the bodyguard. She’s got this amazing skill and she has zero fear when she goes against him, so he needs her,” Munn told Screen Rant. “What he sees in her is that she is someone who can protect and has no fear and is an amazing fighter and has amazing abilities. She’s doing things because she wants to do them. She’s like, ‘I want to join you. You haven’t fooled me into joining you. I get it, I see what you’re doing, and I want to be part of it.’ In the end, they manipulate her, but it’s always her choice to join it.”
