Los Angeles May 30 (IANS) Actress Olivia Munn says she was not convinced she was suited to do action roles until she starred in "X-Men: Apocalypse".
The 37-year-old starred as Psylocke in the 2016 superhero film and Munn said the experience has given her a thirst for more action roles reports femalefirst.co.uk.
"I really didn t realise how much I loved doing it until I actually was training for X-Men " Munn told Slash Films when asked what attracts her to do action parts.
She added: "When I signed on for X-Men I wasn t sure if I wanted to do it and I was talking to (screenwriter) Simon Kinberg and he was like This is the introduction of the character so it s going to be a smaller part and for this movie...
"And I said Well that s cool as long as you could just have a fight scene . And to me I grew up loving her so I know that they really didn t do her justice the first time that she was introduced. And I d watched it and I was like This is stupid . The first time I saw it I thought You have to give her more. "
However Munn said that she did not initially appreciate just how much hard work was needed to star in an action film.
