Olivia Munn is 'Vague' About Her 'X-Men' Return

MTV.com: Olivia Munn is psyched to return to the X-Men franchise, but she's trying to be vague about it.

After making her X-debut in last year's X-Men: Apocalypse, her involvement in the seventh X-Men installment, Dark Phoenix, has yet to be confirmed — until now. Well, kinda. While promoting The LEGO Ninjago Movie at San Diego Comic-Con, Munn was super "vague" about her X-future. That probably has something to do with the fact she couldn't remember what it was she was told she could reveal.

"I was asked what I can say, and I can't remember. I'm supposed to say things," she told MTV News correspondent Josh Horowitz. "I'll just repeat to you what was said to me in the text. It was: 'be vague.'"

Typically, if an actor is told to "be vague" about his or her involvement in a film, there's a pretty good chance that actor is in the movie. "That is a great assumption," Munn said, vaguely, of her rumored reprise in Dark Phoenix, "but I'm being vague."

SDCC: Ed Piskor Reveals X-Men Grand Design for Marvel

CBR: Announced earlier today during Marvel Comics’ Next Big Thing panel at Comic-Con International, the X-Men’s long, often complicated history will be untangled in a new miniseries.

Hip-Hop Family Tree creator Ed Piskor is the man for the job, as the publisher announced the indy comics writer/artist will be the person who “stitches together the stories of the important years of the X-Men.” The series will see Piskor look to the franchise’s past, present and future in order to tell a story that ties all of the X-Men’s high points together in a single narrative.

Every chapter of the six-part series will condense a decades’ worth of X-Men lore into a single issue. The first issue starts in the ’60s, with subsequent installments covering the ’70s through today.

Check out the official press release below, along with all of Piskor’s covers, and check back with CBR soon for more on what to expect from X-Men Grand Design.

During today’s Next Big Thing Panel at Comic-Con International San Diego, Marvel Entertainment announced that this fall, it would be debuting X-MEN GRAND DESIGN by acclaimed artist Ed Piskor (Hip-Hop Family Tree).

A true inclusive book for all X-Men fans, X-MEN GRAND DESIGN stitches together the stories of the important years of the X-Men. Bridging the history of everyone’s favorite mutants with the present day, it’s a title that truly sums up Marvel Legacy and its importance to the Marvel Universe. 

Filled with Easter Eggs from years past for die-hard X-fans and nods to the present day X-Men stories, X-MEN GRAND DESIGN is a celebration of the X-Men – past, present, and future. Coming this fall!

Astonishing X-Men #1 Spoilers

Spoilers: Psychics around the world are attacked by an unknown force, dying one by one. While in London, Psylocke suffers the same fate, but before she is consumed, she reaches out to a few X-Men, asking for their help. Dominated, Betsy is taken to the top of the Shard building where she manifests a colossal psychic butterfly, threatening all of London against her will. Old Man Logan and Rogue are the first to arrive. As Rogue gets near Psylocke, Angel comes just in time to protect her from Betsy’s sharp blades. Enter Gambit and Fantomex, who help protect the civilians on the streets along with Old Man Logan. Meanwhile, Bishop reaches the X-Men, and Warren takes him to the top of the building towards Rogue and Psylocke. Rogue wants to absorb Betsy’s psychic energy and have Bishop absorb it from her and project it into something harmless. Once the X-Men succeed in freeing Betsy, Beast arrives on the scene and all of them regroup. Betsy warns them it was The Shadow King’s doing, who’s coming after all psychics, building a web to force his way out of the Astral Plane. Psylocke wants to send the X-Men to the Astral Plane so they can stop the Shadow King. Beast, Rogue, Gambit, Old Man Logan all volunteer to go. Warren prefers to stay behind and protect Betsy. Psylocke stresses that she doesn’t trust Fantomex, but after some unfriendly worlds, she agrees to let him go as well. Finally, Bishop also opts to stay behind with Warren and Betsy. Psylocke then sends Rogue, Gambit, Fantomex, Beast and OML to the Astral Plane and warns them against the Shadow King’s methods. On the Astral Plane, Farouk rejoices that the X-Men are coming and is sure that their secrets will be their downfall. The Shadow King opens a vault where he finds Professor Xavier, his prisoner in chains.

Charles Soule Twitter Q&A

Any character you plan on bringing back out of the background so to speak?

Soule: Kind of. I'm writing all the characters in Astonishing X-Men in a way I think works best for this story. Like how Joker evolves, etc.

Will the series have a regular artist?

Soule: No. New artist for each issue of Astonishing X-Men, all phenomenal.

I haven't followed any X-Men books since before Civil War II. Will I be lost? Or is it self contained?

Soule: Astonishing is completely self-contained. You don't have to have been reading anything else (but it's all great!)

How much of Psylocke's past will be covered?

Soule: Define "covered." Psylocke is Psylocke, but this is a new story, designed to take everyone to new places. Doesn't look backward, really.

Haven't read X-titles for a while. Is it new-reader friendly?

Soule: Astonishing X-Men is new reader-friendly.

Will Bishop's "villainous" period be addressed? Really a low point for the character.

Soule: My pal Sam Humphries handled all of that in his run on Uncanny X-Force. Won't be addressed in Astonishing.

How important will Astonishing be to the future direction of the X-Men books? Is this more of a spin-off or is this a key series?

Soule: Key.

What's the character combination you've enjoyed writing most so far?

Soule: Fantomex and Mystique are fun.

What conflict within two members of the group is most interesting to you? If there even are any?

Soule: Tons. Wait and see!
