What is Psylocke going to do now?
Among all of the horsemen, Psylocke is the most underused – just kidding. She has the same amount of screen time and the same amount of backstory as Archangel. However, unlike the dead horseman, Psylocke lives in the end – and, without a single word, she leaves. I get it – she saw in Apocalypse her chance to do something fun, something more exciting than being Caliban’s bodyguard. And with Apocalypse gone…
And, for that matter, she had no reason to intervene when her remaining fellow horsemen switched sides and attacked the villain. However, the fact that she leaves so undecided is a bit annoying.
As I see it, Olivia Munn’s character arc isn’t done. It’s just been interrupted (some might say that it hasn’t even begun). On the web it is said that she will be the one to bring Apocalypse back – I doubt it, since it would be out of character (or, at least, out of her X-Men: Apocalypse character). Most likely, she will return.
But the way in which she leaves is utterly disappointing.
I have no idea what she’ll do next. Bryan Singer did an excellent job in Days of Future Past, fleshing out the mutants who die. He doesn’t do so well in X-Men: Apocalypse.
