Rose Byrne will return as Moira MacTaggert in the upcoming “X-Men: Apocalypse.” In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, writer Simon Kinberg opened up about Byrne’s role, which was first introduced as a love interest for Professor X in the 2011 installment “X-Men: First Class.”
“She’s a significant character in the movie,” he said. “We ended ‘First Class’ with Charles having wiped portions of her memory of her experience with the X-Men. They are, essentially, strangers to her when she meets them … It’s certainly a rich relationship [between Moira and Professor X] that we started to dig into in ‘First Class,’ and would like to mine more in this one.”
