She can&#8217;t save me.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She continued, &#8220;Everything stops down, and there was no insecurity about being obnoxious and everyone hearing this, and being like, &#8216;She can&#8217;t save me! We&#8217;re not doing this!'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Munn said the actor was also &#8220;combative&#8221; with the director, and this ultimately halted filming for about 45 minutes. According to the &#8220;X-Men: Apocalypse&#8221; star, she resolved the issue by suggesting the scene could be that &#8220;instead of my character saving you, it just is that we switch because it&#8217;s time for us to switch, and so this is my guy to get.&#8221; This placated the actor and made him fine with filming, Munn said, despite the fact that &#8220;nothing changed&#8221; with the scene in a practical sense.<\/p>\n<p class=\"related-link\"><span class=\"exclude-from-newsgate\"><strong style=\"margin-right:3px\">Olivia Munn <\/strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/entertainment\/celebrities\/2025\/02\/20\/olivia-munn-monica-lewinsky-podcast-nda-movie\/79301787007\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">refused to sign NDA, turned down seven figures after &#8216;traumatic&#8217; set experience<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s just what he thought.
