“Developing a Marvel property has been a top priority for the network–and we are so pleased with how Matt Nix has led us into this thrilling universe,” Fox Entertainment president David Madden said when the show was originally announced. “There’s comic book adventure, emotional and complicated relationships, and a rich, existing mythology from which to draw. With the brilliant production crew behind this project, it has all the makings of a big, fun and exciting new series.”
Check out The Gifted trailer below. This one is only a very short teaser, but don’t worry as we’re promised a full trailer later in the month. The Gifted arrives on Fox in the autumn.
