X-MEN: APOCALYPSE: New Looks At Olivia Munn's 'Psylocke' & Michael Fassbender's 'Magneto'
The rest of the X-Men: Apocalypse set visit reports are now online, and with them come a couple of new stills featuring Psylocke and Magneto. Plus, Olivia Munn and Michael Fassbender reveal some very interesting details about these "lost" characters who become 2 of Apocalypse's Horsemen...
Lots of new X-Men: Apocalypse details are now online, and there's plenty of interesting info relating to pretty much every character to sift through. The only new images, though, are of deadly mutant warrior Psylocke (Olivia Munn) and the returning Magneto (Michael Fassbender), so for that reason we've decided to focus on them.
Munn and Fassbender's characters both allow themselves to be recruited by the titular villain (Oscar Isaac) because he comes to them at the lowest points in their lives when they feel they've nothing else to lose. Apocalypse wants Psylocke for her great skill in battle, but from the sounds of things he's also looking to add a bit of eye candy to his team, as that barely there comic-accurate costume she's sporing is something he garbs her in! Magneto on the other hand, has never been a follower - but when El Sabah Nur finds him he has lost all hope and sees this incredibly powerful "God" as someone that can finish what he was never able to.
"[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. 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."
"[Apocalypse] arrives and it’s like, “Okay well something much more powerful than me has arrived,” in a way kind of like a god; he’s the original mutant. And I think… Magneto doesn’t really follow anyone, so it was kind of a hard thing like, well how does he just become one of Apocalypse’s Horsemen, and is he cool with that? But he appreciates that this guy is going to do what he couldn’t do. He’s got just so much more power than him, he’s such an immense force. In a way, it’s like that classic thing of joining any cult or radical group, he’s caught him at a very low, vulnerable point where he doesn’t really care anymore whether he dies or not or what happens, so he’s like, “Yeah I’ll join this guy. I’ll go on this path of judgment.”
