The X-Men movies have always been about outsiders dealing with big life changes and worrying about the authorities and those who don't understand them. And from the looks of the new TV series set in that world, the more things change, the more they stay the same... Check out the latest trailer...
In this series, created by Matt Nix and X-director Bryan Singer, Stephen Moyer and Amy Acker are parents Reed Strucker and Kate Strucker, who discover that their kids, Lauren (Natalie Alyn Lind) and Andy (Percy Hynes White) possess mutant powers. Awkwardly, Reed works for the government and puts those who hide their mutant genes in jail...
Realising they need help, they turn to an underground group of mutants who help others hide and survive. They include Jamie Chung as Clarice Ferguson/Blink, who's endowed with the power of teleportation; Emma Dumont as Lorna Dane/Polaris, a daughter of Magneto who has inherited his magnetic abilities, Blair Redford as Sam/Thunderbird, the leader of the underground Mutant network and Sean Teale as Marcos Diaz/Eclipse, who's able to absorb and manipulate photons.
The Gifted starts in the States on Fox on 2 October. There's no word yet on a UK broadcaster.
