Olivia Munn worked hard on her ninja skills to play Psylocke in the latest X-Men film and ET has the footage to prove it!
Flipping
through the air, slicing cars in two and super high kicks were just
some of the stunts tasked to Munn for her first time as a mutant, but
she's embraced the challenges which she took on without the help of a
stunt double.
Earlier
this year at the Sci-Tech Awards, Munn told ET she trained for about
six or seven hours per day in preparation for the movie, including
exercises in Tae Kwon Do, sword fighting and wirework.
"It
was important to me that I was able to do all of the stunts because the
more believable it is, the better it is for the audience -- and the
only way to make it believable is for me to actually do it," she said.
The
upcoming blockbuster follows the awakening of the first and most
powerful mutant, the immortal Apocalypse (Oscar Isaac), who recruits
Magneto (Michael Fassbender) and other mutants to create a new world
order. Apocalypse's emergence leaves the X-Men as the world's only hope
against the seemingly invincible nemesis' extinction level plan.
X-Men: Apocalypse, also starring Jennifer Lawrence, Hugh Jackman and Rose Byrne, opens May 27.
