'Quicksilver' & A Female Lead Could Feature In The Planned X-MEN/X-FACTOR TV Series
After Bleeding Cool's initial rumor of an X-Men tv show being in the pipeline, it's looking more and more likely that Fox do indeed have solid plans for one, with other sites doing some digging. Here are some interesting new titbits from Film Divider..
In an update to the X-Men tv series report, we heard that the show may well be based on Peter David's acclaimed X-Factor comic run which saw Jamie Madrox, aka Multiple Man, setting up a detective agency. The website Film Divider add that they've heard this is "more than just a possibility", and have some extra details too.
According to them Fox have been struggling to decide on a group of main characters for the show, and might be wary of going the Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. route of using mostly unknown or new faces. To remedy this, one character that's apparently being talked about is X-Men: Days Of Future Past's Quicksilver (Evan Peters), but since he appeared in the past timeline of that movie it's unclear if they'd give the show a period setting, or simply recast the role and use an older version of the character. There's also mention of the series utilizing a female lead, though the site have no details on who that could be. If the show will be based on David's X-Factor run however, that could well be former New Mutant Rahne Sinclair (Wolfsbane), with other possibilities including Polaris, Siryn and Layla Miller. That's pure speculation of course, but if this is their plan, which character would you like to see? More at the link below.
