On Friday, Feb. 5, the actress indulged fans with a live Twitter Q&A session from the company's headquarters. When asked which of the scenes from "X-Men: Apocalypse" is her favorite, Munn answered, "The fight scene."

"The fight scene was a long time preparing and it took me about, I think, two weeks to shoot the entire fight scene," she said in a video response.

The actress revealed more about her preparation for the big fight sequence in another video response, saying, "I worked for many months training and I did, like, 6-7 hours a day of sword and taekwondo training, and stunt training and wire training."

Munn chronicled her training regimen for the film in a series of social media posts in previous months.

"I did get hurt training," she said. "Most of it was self-inflicted."

In the Q&A session, fans discovered another interesting fact about the actress and her history with the X-Men. Responding to a question about how much comics-reading she had to do to prepare for her role, Munn said, "I pretty much did most of that when I was a kid."

The actress then went on to recount how she and her four siblings would share the "X-Men" comic books as children and how, in her family, "[they] talk about X-Men like it's the Civil War."

Munn's character, Psylocke, is a sword-wielding mutant with telekinetic and telepathic powers. In the next "X-Men" film, Psylocke is one of main villain Apocalypse's (Oscar Isaac) four horsemen, along with Magneto (Michael Fassbender), Storm (Alexandra Shipp), and Archangel/Angel (Ben Hardy).

"X-Men: Apocalypse" hits theaters on May 27.
