THE GIFTED Adds MACGUYVER And IF LOVING YOU IS WRONG Actor Jermaine Rivers As Shatter
Marvel and FOX TV's upcoming X-Men spinoff, The Gifted, has added a new mutant character in the form of the Geoff Johns-Created Shatter. The character will be played by MacGuyver actor Jermaine Rivers...
Following an IMDB update from last night which claimed Jermaine Rivers had been added to the cast of The Gifted, the actor himself has confirmed via Twitter that he will play Shatter on the X-Men spinoff show.
Shatter debuted in Geoff Johns and Shawn Martinbrough's 2002 miniseries The Morlocks, and was introduced as a teenager who attempted to commit suicide upon discovering that he was a mutant. Because his crystal skin makes him almost invulnerable, the bullet proved to be non-fatal and left him with a massive, cracked depression on the side of his head.
We're not sure how Shatter will be depicted on the small screen, however.
The Gifted is scheduled to debut October 2 on FOX.
