Olivia Munn slays Ryan Reynolds with her sword fighting skills

Olivia Munn has showed off her sword fighting skills, demonstrating that Ryan Reynolds is no match for her during a sword fight, ahead of the release of her new movie X-Men: Apocalypse.

Munn, who will star as Psylocke in the latest X-Men instalment, displayed her sword fighting skills in a video shared on social media in which she dominated Reynolds, who plays the eponymous superhero of the 2016 film Deadpool.

The video addressed the age old question – who is the better swordmaster, Deadpool or Psylocke?

Munn has completed months of physical training in preparation for the role, mastering the sword fighting moves.

X-Men: Apocalypse will be released in Australia on May 19.
