While, a lot of attention has been garnered on Munn's costume for the movie, the actress herself is paying more attention to her character's physicality. Munn has expressed her desire to portray Psylocke as a strong, powerful mutant to be reckoned with, states Entertainment Weekly.
"It doesn't matter what I'm wearing as long as we're all aware of who she is. She's very strong and she's very lethal and she's very powerful, and it doesn't really matter what she's wearing as long as you have that strength and that presence," Munn said.
Munn's costume is almost a complete replica of the one in the comics, sans big breasts and booty, she admitted while on Conan. She went on to say that the her costume is fully made with latex and it is very difficult to wear.
To the delight and surprise of everyone in Conan including the host himself, Munn explained that several women have to apply lubrication on her and the costume, just to put it on.
Further bringing all the guys in the audience to their knees, Munn admitted that the first day she tried on the costume her crotch popped! Given the fact that Munn's Psylocke costume seems flimsy at best, fans are wondering how she will pull off her kickass moves while in full Psylock attire.
However, seeing the videos, it seems that Munn can do anything she puts her mind to, so she will probably find a way around the costume dilemma.
Psylocke will be one of Apocalypse's (Oscar Isaac) Horsemen, states EW. The other Horsemen will be Magneto (Michael Fassbender), Archangel (Ben Hardy) and Strom (Alexandra Shipp).
"X-Men: Apocalypse" will be out in theaters on May 27, 2016. Keep an eye out for Munn, her costume and badass moves.
