![]() “People will direct message me almost every day, they’re like ‘We want to see the green hair! We want to see the green hair!’ I promise you, you will get the green hair.” Fans are hoping Dane’s character will retain her comic book looks, which she assures that she will. ![]() “We have people who expect a certain thing and of course we want to stick by the original mythology,” says Dane, who plays the green-haired Polaris on The Gifted. But the show will have characters from the comics, and in an interview with Fox 5 Vegas (via Heroic Hollywood), actress Lorna Dane says they will retain their bizarre looks. In Marvel’s X-Men comics, there are of course underground mutant groups who evade a racist government, but The Gifted won’t star any of the popular X-Men - at least for now. The show follows the Struckers, a family who learns their children are mutants and join an underground group to escape the clutches of the government. Following last spring’s Legion on FX, the next X-TV show, Fox’s The Gifted, is set to premiere this fall in primetime. If you're in the market for some new shows now that The Gifted is over for now, swing by our midseason TV premiere schedule.The X-Men movie franchise is scary close to reaching its 20th anniversary, but the world of mutants is only just beginning to expand. If you're a fan, the time is now to start crossing your fingers for a renewal. The show could almost get a reboot of sorts in Season 3, with the death of Reed as well as Reeva and two of the three Frost Sisters. Will The Gifted get the chance to explore this cliffhanger? Only time will tell. Is the end nigh for The Gifted, as it is for Legion and Gotham? Or will the show continue and jump into whatever mission Blink has for the rest of the heroes? ![]() The Gifted is also the only place on the small screen to get an X-Men fix, if we're not counting Legion on FX.Įven though Legion will introduce Professor X and likely incorporate more nods to that legendary character's activities, I highly doubt that it could possibly go as far into X-Men territory as The Gifted before it ends. Honestly, it's kind of difficult to put any show in the same category as the bonkers Gotham. Fox is already saying goodbye to another comics-based TV show this year, although it's difficult to put Gotham and The Gifted in the same category. She opened up a portal to show the rest of the good guys that there's a world on fire on the other side, and she needs everyone to come with her and help. Blink returned and revealed that the defeat of Reeva didn't mean a happily-ever-after for mutants everywhere. If The Gifted does return for Season 3, the Season 2 finale did set up a way for the action to pick up. There's still no saying if Fox will give The Gifted another season, and The Gifted isn't the only Fox series with an uncertain future at this point. ![]() We shouldn't get ahead of ourselves, though. Maybe flashbacks of the Strucker kids or Caitlin could feature Stephen Moyer as a guest star. Perhaps that means he could come back somehow! "oMens" featured him in flashbacks as well as in the present. It will likely be sad to watch the Strucker family carry on without him in the event that The Gifted scores a third season, but can even the most diehard fans blame Stephen Moyer for wanting to spend more time with his family? Moyer clearly has nothing but fond feelings for the show and the people who worked on it with him. ![]() According to Moyer's comments to EW, it was a matter of allowing the show to do something big and undoubtedly surprising to a lot of viewers while also accommodating his desire to not miss more firsts from his kids. The Gifted was looking to deliver a big death in the Season 2 finale, and Stephen Moyer wanted to spend more time with his family, who did not live near set in Atlanta. I adore Atlanta, but truthfully it was really about seven months is a long time to be away, and I felt this was a really cool way to bring the character to a satisfying, massive ending. But also I love my gang, I love the cast. It was great for the show because they were able to do something big, and I don’t think people will be expecting me to go. I knew that they were looking for a big death at the end of season 2, so Matt and I talked about the possibility of it being me. When I went off to do True Blood, I was off for a long while, and that worked out great, but last year, I was away in Atlanta and I was thinking, 'This is a long time to be away from my little people.' The second time around this year, I missed a lot of firsts: I missed their first concert, their first day of school, their first day of soccer, and it was kind of hitting me. Well, I’ve got 6-year-old twins, and older kids who are 16 and 19. ![]()
