Already home to DC’s Gotham, FOX has decided to jump into bed with Marvel later this year as they’ve order an untitled project that will be written by Matt Nix (Burn Notice) and directed by Bryan Singer (all those X-Men movies).
Here’s the plot from Deadline:
The pilot focuses on two ordinary parents who discover their children possess mutant powers. Forced to go on the run from a hostile government, the family joins up with an underground network of mutants and must fight to survive.
So, it’s like X-Men.
Jamie Chung has been cast Clarice Fong aka Blink. She is described as “sarcastic and lively” and has the power of teleportation. So, she’s Beast with a bit of Deadpool.
I’m over comic book movies and television shows, but Jamie deserves a lot of credit for turning her gig on The Real World into an actual career. She’s the second most famous and successful Real World alum behind The Miz.
Being “over” an entire genre is stupid. Thanks for letting us all know that you’re above it all though.
