Olivia Munn revealed new details about her upcoming mutant film "X-Men: Apocalypse". When stopping by Conan O'Brien's show which was filmed in San Diego, the 35-year-old actress told the host and her castmate about the efforts she did to fit into Psylocke's costume.
O'Brien asked Munn how the live version of Psylocke would look like compared to the version in the comic books. "The costume is exactly like that," Munn said while pointing at the image of Psylocke showed in the screen. Though so, Munn admitted that the chest and hip area wouldn't look exactly the same with the comic book character because she came "in to the deficit with that part."
Munn went on explaining the difficulty she had to go through every time she wore her Psylocke costume for the movie. She said that she needed someone to lube her up before she wore her latex costume so she could fit inside the costume. "They lube me down and I step into this latex-this whole latex fitting," Munn said.
Munn also revealed a ridiculous thing she did because she was too excited to perform her Psylocke role. She broke the latex during a stretching exercise. "I just popped a crutch, the latex just broke," she said, sparking awkward moment and smiles from O'Brien and other men in the interview.
"X-Men: Apocalypse" will take place in the 80s, a decade after "X-Men: Days of Future Past" where Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence), Beast (Nicholas Hoult), Magneto (Michael Fassbender) and Professor X (James McAvoy) team up to fight a new and uniquely powerful enemy. Directed by Bryan Singer, the movie is targeted for a U.S. release on May 27, 2016.
