Actress Olivia Munn, who played Psylocke in "X-Men: Apocalypse" will reportedly reprise her role in the next instalment "X-Men: Dark Phoenix".
Munn shared the news as an Instagram story about her arrival in Montreal, where the movie is being filmed, with a lot of luggage, reports aceshowbiz.com.
If "The Newsroom" actress comes on board for the project, she will join actors Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy and Nicholas Hoult, as well as the returning cast members like Sophie Turner, Evan Peters, Alexandra Shipp, Tye Sheridan and Kodi Smit-McPhee.
"X-Men: Dark Phoenix" is releasing in November next year.
It will be based on Jean Grey, who develops dangerously amplified telepathic powers when she comes into contact with the Phoenix, a cosmic entity that eventually takes over her personality. It will show Jean transforming into a deadly force battling the X-Men.
Actress Jessica Chastain is in talks to play the villain.
