Very little is known about Fox's untitled X-Men mutant television series but Marvel has shed some light on the new show created by Matt Nix with Bryan Singer directing the pilot episode.
The mutant Blink is officially on board with Jamie Chung in the role. The character was most recently played on the big screen in X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST by actress Bingbing Fan.
Here's Marvel's official press release:
Jamie Chung will star in a series regular role as Clarice Fong, better known as Blink, a sarcastic and lively tomboy. Clarice’s naturally strong exuberance has taken a hit after a sudden and traumatic upheaval of her life. As she adjusts to the new people and places that are suddenly ‘home,’ Clarice is slowly becoming herself again. Blink is an established character from the X-Men comics with the power of teleportation.
We previously revealed last year FOX has made a put pilot commitment for a new Marvel action-adventure series.
