You strength is amazing...*bows down!*

 

[eXperiment]

i hope she has her british accent and telepathy

not her british accent because shes japanese.

 

[Specter313]

not her british accent because shes japanese.

She still has the personality and mind of a British woman, so yes, she would have a British accent.

 

[gap5ewl]

not her british accent because shes japanese.

..no she isnt she's british. even when she switched bodies she was still british. you guys realize you can be asian and british at the same time right?? lol

I would love to see the shadow powers, but could she have meant comic psylocke and not movie psylocke when she said that?

I love that she did additional research! Go Mei!

Not dying her hair because of time constraits? Boo...I hope it looks right on film.

It seems confusing, but here is the direct quote....

“I am a bad girl. I’m basically a strong-arm helping [Magento and the Brotherhood of Mutants] do different things. It’s an introduction to my character. I turn into shadows and go through walls; and I also have psi-blades.”

 

[Specter313]

Well..."asian" Psylocke was her most popular incarnation, so it only stands to reason...

That's debatable...

 

[xwolverine2]

She still has the personality and mind of a British woman, so yes, she would have a British accent.

that would be wierd to explain..........or understand

but who cares about the general audience

..no she isnt she's british. even when she switched bodies she was still british. you guys realize you can be asian and british at the same time right?? lol

The new Wizard Movie speacial magazine had an interview with Mei/Psylocke...here is a paraphrased summary....

- She originally auditioned for the part of Callisto, but the role went to Dani Ramirez.
- Mei received a callback when they were seeking someone with martial arts experience
- Mei described Psylocke as “strong arm” helping Magneto.
- Mei said the movie is an introduction for the character. She said Psylocke will turn into shadows, merge with walls and use her psi-blades.
- Mei is familiar with the comic book character, and she did additional reading/research
- Due to time constraints, they could not die all of her hair purple.
- They tried the thong/ tights look, but it didn’t look right

Interesting.

That's debatable...

i guess you could debate, but think about it this way...Psylocke known mostly for being an Asian with purple hair and a blue barely there ninja outfit, yes?

 

[LittleMissVixen]

That's debatable...

I like the original Psylocke, but Jim Lee's verison took her too the next level.

 

[Matt.S99]

yay she uses her psi powers!woo hoo

 

[xwolverine2]

can we merge this with the psylock thread yet?

 

[Exploding Boy]

I doubt she will have a British accent

 

[Pyrox]

If you're happy and you know it clap your hands

 

[eXperiment]

[Matt.S99]

[Super Flight]

[xwolverine2]

I doubt she'll have much lines if any to even have a British accent.
