The Marvel superhero series is written by Burn Notice's Matt Nix and directed by film-maker Bryan Singer. The executive producers of the show include Lauren Shuler Donner, Jim Chory, Jeph Loeb and Simon Kinberg.
While interacting with the reporters during the Television Critics Association tour recently, executive producer Nix revealed that he will be introducing some of the X-Men movie characters in the show and he will be inventing a few mythological characters.
"I would say that a fan of the movies -- particularly the movies, but also the comic books -- would not be disoriented at all as to where this fits in the mythology," he added (via IGN).
