| X-Men 3 Introduces Psylocke Mei Melancon has joined the cast of the upcoming third X-Men film in the role of the villainous mutant Psylocke, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Melancon previously appeared in Rush Hour 2, which was directed by X-Men 3 helmer Brett Ratner. Psylocke has had several incarnations in the Marvel comic book series on which the films are based; she 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. X-Men 3, from a script by Simon Kinberg and Zak Penn, is set to premiere on May 26, 2006, Memorial Day weekend. |

| I remember young Psylocke being rather conspicuous by her omission in the old “X-Men” cartoon series, but I didn’t follow the “X-Men: Evolution” follow-up closely enough to know whether she turned up there. So could this be Pyslocke’s first appearance on a screen of any size? |
