We’ve known for some time that in the world The Gifted is set in, the X-Men and the evil Brotherhood of Mutants existed at one point, but by the time the series begins have been mysteriously absent for some time.
In the newest trailer for the series, though, rather than trying to turn its mutants into the X-Men for TV, The Gifted is bringing characters such as Thunderbird and Blink together to tell a story that speaks to the premise of Marvel’s X-Men comics: A hated minority living in fear of those who don’t understand them.
The Gifted premieres in the US October 2 on Fox.
