Boo!
From Super Hero Hype:
The evil mutant assassin Psylocke has joined the lineup of X-Men 3, which 20th Century Fox will release on May 26, 2006.
The Hollywood Reporter says the character will be played by Filipina actress Mei Melancon, who previously worked with "X3" director Brett Ratner in Rush Hour 2.
Psylocke, who has had several incarnations in the Marvel comic book series, is best known for her fighting and telepathic skills as well as an ability to transport herself and others through shadows.
In the film, she will fight against the X-Men as a member of Magneto's (Ian McKellen) Brotherhood of Mutants.
Part of the Brotherhood?! Oh, come on! I've been wanting Betsy in the movies for some time, if only to give Scott a little bit of a jolt so it's not always 'I love Logan but Scott's stable so I guess I'll go with him.' Give Cyce a little bit o' hot ass to shake Jean up a bit! She is NOT some secondary character they can just throw into the mix as they like, like, say, and I'm being harsh, Callisto. She's been coveted by Scott, romanced by Warren (in the movie now part of the "baby X-Men"). You deserve better, Ms. Braddock!
Good news: she's actually going to be played by an Asian actress. The bad news is that, if she were a major X-Men character in the movie, she'd probably be caucasian.
Pfui!
Peace, Ghani
