San Diego Comic-Con News: A new expanded trailer for the X-Men Universe spin-off series The Gifted was shown at Comic-Con. Though it does contain some of the same footage from the original trailer for the show (see “First Trailer for Fox’s X-Men Show The Gifted”), the new trailer clocks in at almost a minute longer, and introduces some of the mutant characters who will play major roles including Thunderbird, Polaris, Blink, and Eclipse along with the Strucker siblings Lauren and Andy, who play a key role in what looks like a mash-up between a traditional X-Men storyline and a typical TV family drama.
The trailer also reveals that the first episode of The Gifted, which is likely the pilot directed by Bryan Singer, will debut on Fox on Monday, October 2.
