INCORPORATED Actor Sean Teale Joins The Cast Of Fox's X-MEN Drama Series As A Mutant Character Named Eclipse
The latest addition to the still-growing cast of Fox's upcoming X-Men TV series is Sean Teale, who will play a character created just for the show who has the ability to absorb & manipulate photons.
We know that Jamie Chung will be playing an established Marvel Comics hero on Fox's new X-Men TV series, but the second mutant character to be added to the ensemble will be one created just for the show.
According to Deadline, Sean Teale (Incorporated, Reign, Skins) will play Marcos Diaz/Eclipse, "a natural rebel compelled by circumstances to cooperate with others, Marcos is a passionate and strong-willed fighter who sometimes lets his emotions overrule reason." Eclipse will have the power to absorb and manipulate photons, which sounds a little like a variation on Sunspot's solar-based ability.
Bryan Singer will direct the pilot episode of the still not officially titled X-Men family drama series, which will also star Blair Redford and Stephen Moyer.
