The character of Psylocke is reported to be added to the already overweight band of characters in X-Men 3.
According to reports all over the web, and this one caught from The Hollywood Reporter through Coming Soon (because we always credit our sources), the baddie mutant will be played by…
…Filipina actress Mei Melancon, who previously worked with “X3” director Brett Ratner in Rush Hour 2.
Psylocke, who has had several incarnations in the Marvel comic book series, is best known for her fighting and telepathic skills as well as an ability to transport herself and others through shadows.
Is this cast just growing too big? Are we going to see loads of mutants and no real depth to any of them, or is it going to focus on a few mutants with many more on the outside to make up the numbers for the big scenes? I hope the latter, and so far the character choices for appearances have been good. What do you think?
