X-Men: The Gifted Comic-Con series trailer
As a fan of the X-Men franchise, I'm not sure if I'm excited about an X-Men TV series or bloody disgusted.
The X-Men series will be making an appearance on Fox this year with the new series The Gifted . It will be a one hour-long drama starring Stephen Moyer and Amy Acker as the Struckers, parents of mutant children who have to take their family on the run to protect them. Though the show will be set in a separate timeline from the movies, it will still have some of the same X-Men characters. Actor Stephan Moyer, who also happens to be married to X-Men star Anna Paquin, who played Rogue, told the press at San Diego Comic Con that his wife has been helping him prepare for the role:
Anna has done four of these movies, and so she knows the world backwards. She’s worked with Bryan Singer, director of X-Men and The Gifted’s pilot on three of those occasions, so she knows Bryan extremely well, and so she’s a big fan of everything he brings to the table. She’s a big believer in doing a bunch of research. She showed me a few places she had gotten information from – not just comics, but also on the internet. As an actor, the internet is am amazing resource. We get to be able to go down the rabbit hole when it comes to research. And Marvel made comic books available to us through Marvel Unlimited, which was wonderful.
I guess if Bryan Singer is involved it might be worth a watch. Check out the trailer and see what you think:
