You might have figured this movie had its fill of mutants by now, but Bryan Singer has just announced the latest addition to the cast of X-Men: Apocalypse. Newcomer Lana Condor will play Chinese-American plasmoid blasting teenager, Jubilee. This won't be the first time this character has appeared in an X-flick, though she was never given much screen time: Katrina Florence played her in X-Men, followed by Kea Wong in X2: X-Men United and X-Men: The Last Stand. As for Condor, there is literally no information on the young actress to be found online, so we'll have to keep you updated on that.

 

I'd officially like to welcome our newest mutant #JubilationLee, #Jubilee @LanaCondor to #XMEN #Apocalypse

The movie reportedly starts shooting this summer and will hit theaters on May 27, 2016.

She looks like she's twelve. I mean she could be a good actress, but wow, she looks way young.

I thought Singer only went after little boys.

@Mrcool210 Maybe she's around that age range. I mean this is the "passing of the torch"
with the current core of actors likely not returning (J-Law/Fassbender/McAvoy/Hault).

Finally! Jubilee and this is set in the 80s right? Bring on the comic costumes! This is the only logic excuse to do so! This decade had funky clothes so it would not feel out of place at all!

On a serious note, I hope they are getting these young actors so they will be around for the long haul. We get to see young Cyclops grow, young Jean grow, young Storm grow, young Nightcrawler grow, etc. I'd like a stable single continuity. Don't bounce around eras.

AW no! She's the worst x-man ever!!! like EVER! even including Dazzler! And I'm from the Xtreme 90s!

Couldn't they have just cast Kitty well to give the innocent teen perspective? Or Pixie? uuugghhhh!

This makes me happy. I've always been a big fan of Jubilee because of the 90s cartoon but other than that I don't think she has ever been represented in other X-Men media that well. I am so glad they didn't whitewash her! That would have surely rustled my jimmies. Let's hope she has her short hair, and, you know, not something else.

This movie isn't getting the amount of buzz that Civil War is just yet but The Russos have BiG competition .

Looks like a nice kid. Let'e see her with the yellow jacket.

Totally didn't see this coming. Seems like the writers of X2 are really trying to go all out. Let's not just give these guys faces but characterization as well. Seems like the team will most certainly already be formed by the time this film starts off.

I'm still waiting to find out who Ben Hardy is playing. Are they ever gonna tell us who?

So like 2/3's of the mutant cast, she'll have 0 - 1 line in the whole movie and gain as much visibility as a potted plant in the X-Mansion... i.e. - Colossus.

This movie is going to be huge!
