Director Bryan Singer has revealed two new characters that will appear in X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST: Bishop (presumably played by Omar Sy) and James “Warpath” Proudstar (presumably played by Booboo Stewart). The details were given via a Vine clip showing the actor chairs on set.

Bishop had a strong presence in the 1993 animated series adaption of DOFP. In the comics, he was a member of a mutant police force from a dystopian future. He traveled back in time and joined the X-Men. A decade later, he became one of the X-Men’s main antagonists. His powers allow him to absorb all forms of energy that are directed towards him and to release that energy from his body.

An Apache Native American, Warpth possesses mutant superhuman strength and speed, like his older brother, the short-lived X-Man Thunderbird. He originally blamed the X-Men for his brother’s death and joined the villain group the Hellions to get revenge. He later reconsidered his views and became a longtime member of the militant X-Men offshoot X-Force.
