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 didnt look right
** Direct quote: - I am a bad girl. Im basically a strong-arm helping [Magento and the Brotherhood of Mutants] do different things. Its an introduction to my character. I turn into shadows and go through walls; and I also have psi-blades.
