In Reacher season 4, Agnez Mo has been delivering a standout performance as Lila Hoth, and fans have taken notice. When @BoinkBuzz highlighted her for the role of Psylocke in the MCU, Agnez revealed she was 100% in if that happens. Agnez wrote, “Thanks! I’m just gonna put it out to the universe… Psylocke. @MarvelStudios @Marvel 💜 (Although @BoinkBuzz that’s my AI pic tho 😫)”.
Agnez Mo Would Make a Great Psylocke, And More X-Men Are Still Possible In The Main Cast
Agnez Mo is making waves in season 4 of Reacher, which is made that much more impressive when you consider that the project is one of her first big television projects. The talented musician and actress now has her next role if fans have anything to say about it, and it seems she is also up for jumping into the shoes of the ever-deadly X-Man as well.
Psylocke has been a fan-favorite member of the X-Men for quite some time, and was pretty much a lock in the group throughout the ’90s. In the years since, she’s remained popular with fans, and even when she’s not a member of the main team, she’s still featured in some form or fashion, whether that’s in a team like X-Force or in her own solo series.
While she’s not a current member of the new MCU team, that doesn’t mean she won’t make an appearance when the film finally hits, and it also doesn’t mean she won’t be a member of the team in the future. Right now the group still needs some roles filled, especially in the area of the lineup that isn’t afraid to get their hand dirty. That’s a role Wolverine typically fills, and Gambit can do that as well, but so can Psylocke, and the film currently doesn’t feature any of those three.
Even if she doesn’t make the first film’s main group, Psylocke is a character that can fit just about any style of team, so she would make a lot of sense to have for the second movie or even another team. After watching what she’s done in Reacher, Agnez Mo might just be the perfect choice to bring Psylocke to the MCU.
