The new issue of TV Guide features THE GIFTED<\/a> stars Amy Acker<\/strong> and Stephen Moyer<\/strong>, who play Caitlin and Reed and Strucker, respectively. The magazine features new quotes from series creator Matt Nix<\/strong>, who opens up about a few of the highly-anticpated mutant characters.<\/p>\n

“[The Gifted] is really about the mutants who have been left behind,” he says about the show, which features well known favorites such as Blink, Polaris, Thunderbird and newcomer Eclipse.<\/p>\n

\"TheGifted-Blink\" <\/a> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>\n

With a prominent role in ‘Days of Future Past’ as portrayed by Fan Bingbing, Blink<\/strong> makes her come back; this time played by Jamie Chung<\/strong>. \u201cWhy is Blink there?\u201d asks Nix. \u201cWe will build up the mystery.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"TheGifted-Polaris\" <\/a> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>\n

\u201cI lobbied hard to get Polaris<\/strong>,\u201d Nix says of Emma Dumont’s<\/strong> character. \u201cShe\u2019s Magneto\u2019s daughter. [Magneto\u2019s supervillain team] The Brotherhood isn\u2019t around either. Where did they go? And what is our Polaris\u2019s relationship to Magneto?\u201d<\/p>\n

\"TheGifted-Thunderbird\" <\/a> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>\n

Iconic X-Man Thunderbird<\/strong> (brother of Warpath, as seen in ‘Days of Future Past’) makes his live-action debut played by Blair Redford<\/strong>. \u201cHe\u2019s Native American, so his relationship to what they\u2019re doing is a little different. I liked the idea of reservations [providing sanctuary and aid] to refugee mutants.”<\/p>\n

\"TheGifted-Eclipse\" <\/a> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>\n

On Sean Teale’s<\/strong> newly-created character Eclipse<\/strong>, Nix says \u201c[He’s] an original character to this show, but that doesn\u2019t mean he\u2019s just a random guy. Eclipse has a relationship [to someone] that we\u2019ll explore.\u201d<\/p>\n

“The Gifted” airs Mondays at 9\/8c on Fox beginning October 2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
