Wizard Interview with Mei Melancon (Psylocke)

[Rac]

"and I also have psi-blades.”

Hell yeah!

- They tried the thong/ tights look, but it didn’t look right

Like to see photos of that.

 

[Avalanche]

I turn into shadows and go through walls; and I also have psi-blades

And yet no mention of planting illusions into mutant's minds to make them believe a loved one is dead to push them over the edge.

Worthy, over to you.

Oh, of course, they aren't just gonna blab it out for us to read.

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

** 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.”

wow lol thanks

Sounds like one cool effect!

well... this is how you make it work... show her getting ready to go into battle... and she is wearing a purple thong as she tries to get suited up! we will get it. or post the thong pics so we can see whyyyy it wouldnt have worked. dont we get to have a say?

LOL! Of course we don't get to have a say! They don't wait for our approval on everything they do.

It would probably look strange to have someone running round in swimwear... How many people go to war in a bathing suit?!

As long as she ain't killed, I'm cool. Hopefully she'll go over to the X-side towards the movie end, but hey.

 

[_BB_]

I think i just died and went to heaven

Having her in the movie was one thing but psi blades and the whole shadow power has made me ecstatic

 

[josh8]

My question is this: How can a thong not work?

A half naked asian chick is always a plus.

and then we can get pete in his speedo costume

 

[Iceman]

Where's the Official Psylocke thread?

Can someone give me a link?

 

[phoenix_force]

Damn lier! how dare Mei get our hopes up with talk on psychic blades and shadowing! when she does nothing!

 

[Storm22]

She does teleport from the shadows in the movie!

 

[phoenix_force]

i heard that she "DOES NOT"

 

[Storm22]

Well she DOES.

 

[phoenix_force]

Well she DOES.

source of knowlage that she DOES?

 

[*xmenfan*]

fight lol

 

[phoenix_force]

countless people who have seen the movie say she has only one line in the church and we do NOT see her in action

Spoiler

we just see her get ashed by phoenix in the end

 

[Storm22]

I don't have a specific "source", I've asked a few posters who've seen the movie and they all said she emerges from the shadows

Spoiler

in front of Warren snr. at the top of the building in Alcatraz where she then throws him off the building

Imagine if Colossus had died in that cameo in X2. That's what this is equivalent to.

exactly as soon as the screen writers get back to Q&A on the xverse i am gonna ask em why they did something so pointless and unnessesary ..

I wouldn't be surprised if they don't return.

All hell could break loose when they do.
