I come from a family that would talk about X-Men as if it were the Civil,War. Every week, we would go get the comic books. It was our childhood.
[on her role as Psylocke in X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) ] Psylocke is,such a powerful, lethal character. It was important for me that I was,able to do all of the stunts because the more believable it is, the,better it is for the audience - and the only way to make it believable,is for me to actually do it.
I have a dark sense of humor.
