THE GIFTED Shines The Light On Sean Teale's Eclipse With A Flashy New Character Promo
Sean Teale (Reign, Skins) will be portraying Marcos Diaz aka Eclipse on Fox's The Gifted, an original mutant created for the network's superhero drama who can absorb and manipulate photons.
Sean Teale, who's best known for playing Prince Condé on The CW's Reign and Nick Levan on Skins narrates this new promo for Fox's The Gifted, which focuses on his character, Marcos Diaz aka Eclipse. If he has a code name, does that mean he was once a member of the X-Men?
It was Eclipse who mentined in a previous trailer that the X-Men and Magneto's Brotherhood were gone. Perhaps Eclipse spent some time at Xavier's School For Gifted Youngsters? Or perhaps he was a member of The Brotherhood?
The latter might actually be more plausible as the promo reveals that his Eclipse and Emma Dumont's Polaris (Magneto's daughter) are in a relationship.
The Gifted is set for a 10-episode run on Fox, which kicks off on October 2.
Action-adventure family drama THE GIFTED, from Marvel, tells the story of a suburban couple whose ordinary lives are rocked by the sudden discovery that their children possess mutant powers. Forced to go on the run from a hostile government, the family joins up with an underground network of mutants and must fight to survive.
