The pilot episode of The Gifted is directed by four-time X-Men film director Bryan Singer. The series will focus on two ordinary parents; Reed Strucker and Caitlin Strucker (Stephen Moyer and Amy Acker) who discover their children (Natalie Alyn Lind and Percy Hynes White) 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.
The teaser hinted that The Gifted's storyline is a straight adaptation of the comic book. The 22-seconds long teaser displays quite a few shots of mutant powers which prove that Fox, Nix, and Singer the trio together is trying build-up such a storyline that will trigger interest amongst modern-age children as well. Watch The Gifted teaser below.
Matt Nix, co-creator of Fox's A.P.B., wrote the pilot for the X-Men series and will also serve as executive producer along with Lauren Shuler Donner, Simon Kinberg, Jeph Loeb, Jim Chory and Bryan Singer.
The show will also star Emma Dumont (Lorna Dane/Polaris), Percy Hynes White (his role is still unknown), Blair Redford (Thunderbird/ John Proudstar), Coby Bell (Jace Turner), Sean Teale (Eclipse/ Marcos Diaz), Jamie Chung (Blink/Clarice Fong).
