This initial preview doesn’t show a ton, but we get our first look at some of the cast and their mutant powers in action.
In related news, Singer congratulated cast and crew, instagramming a new photo of actress Emma Dumont as the “magnetic” Lorna Dane aka Polaris. Not sure what’s going on in this shot, but it’s definitely intriguing.
