About Ayesha Hussain
IMDb: As one of the first stunt performers of South Asian / MENA heritage, Ayesha Hussain has taken the action world by storm. The twice SAG stunt Award nominee , has not only appeared in titles such as Gladiator II and Dr Who, but she became the first South Asian X-man when she played Psylocke in the latest Deadpool & Wolverine. Outside of film and acting, her skills have been sought out by other echelons of the creative industries; she's thrown knives at Harry Styles, graced the Miu Miu runway with her sword, and performed martial arts throughout the halls of the Victoria & Albert for a piece for the Venice Biennale. Due to her unique perspective across multiple industries, she has been invited to speak on panels for the British Film Institute, Asics, Canon, Soho House, Loreal and interviewed by the BBC and Vogue India

Her ethnicity is Indian/Pakistani not middle Eastern.

I equate South Asian and Middle Eastern. Indian isn't a choice and they share more resemblance to Middle Eastern people than East Asian people. They need to add South Asian, Native American/First Nations, and Polynesian/Pacific Islander.

She played Psylocke in the Deadpool & Wolverine movie as a replacement casting like the others. Looking into her, she's actually incredibly gorgeous. I want to see more legitimately trained martial artists in action roles in the West again.
