Dunno what HBO has to do with anything. The girl playing Jean is on an HBO show, too, and I have some doubts there as well. The main difference here being the fact that these are younger versions of these characters (Jean, Cyclops, and the like... you can't really have a younger Psylocke unless they're breaking the hell out of things which is always possible). I think that could kinda save the situation with SansaJean and as I've never seen her do anything else, I have no idea how she does in other roles. I get the feeling she's more of a legit actress than Munn, though, so it might not be bad. On the other hand, I just can't help but see a disaster in the making with Munn as Psylocke. Perhaps I'm in for a huge surprise. Or maybe we'll see as much of this Psylocke as we did in the other X-Men movie she was in (2 or 3, I guess?); all ten seconds worth of screen time.

As for speaking Japanese... do you suppose there are a lot of Asian/Japanese actresses without such ability?
Why do you think Sansa Jean is a more established actress? She really hasn't done anything in Game of Thrones. Are you completely high?
