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.
