While this is a very common sentiment amongst cast and crew of creative endeavors across the country, the final phrase of Samuels’s post feels like it could be a hint. Maybe Lorna could even raise her daughter Dawn alongside her cousins Tommy and Billy.ĭumont’s castmate Skyler Samuels, meanwhile, posted an emotional “I miss filming stuff” post on her Instagram, specifically talking about playing Esme and missing the stand-in castmates for Phoebe and Sophie. And what is Lorna’s codename? Polaris.įurthermore, a version of Polaris’ metallic crown was crafted for the show, while the end credits of WandaVision tease Wanda’s red crown.Ī post shared by Emma Dumont X-Men had disappeared from the world of The Gifted years before for vague reasons that were never explained, which could have come about because of The Snap in Avengers: Endgame (half of all life in the universe could have included alternate Earths, surely).Īnd bringing in Wanda’s sister from another reality would be helpful in taking care of the twins and coping with Vision’s death, much the same as the premise of Full House (which starred Olsen’s sisters Mary-Kate and Ashley as Michelle Tanner), further emulating the sitcom history the show has explored thus far. Since WandaVision is partially based on the House of M storyline from the comics, where the Scarlet Witch created an alternate reality where mutants ruled the world as a monarchy, her sister Lorna was also part of the royal family. It’s a long shot, but here’s how The Gifted characters could be returning in WandaVision ![]() The final episode, titled “ oMens” (2.16) ended on a cliffhanger that seemed to point towards a storyline influenced by the Days of Future Past arc for a third season, as an alternate-reality Blink (Jamie Chung) appeared through a portal asking for the aid of the assembled improvised family of the Struckers (Amy Acker, Natalie Alyn Lind and Percy Hynes White), Thunderbird (Blair Redford), Polaris (Emma Dumont) and Esme Frost (Skyler Samuels). While the show was canceled after its second season due to the Disney/Fox merger in early 2019, it featured a grounded, thoughtful take on mutant life and the difficulties that entailed. This key change – which as of this writing has yet to be explained – could open up the key to The Gifted characters making a comeback, possibly serving as a springboard to the show being revived. But this was not the Aaron Taylor-Johnson version viewers knew from Avengers: Age of Ultron – instead it was the X-Men version played by Evan Peters. While not incredibly likely, it seems possible that The Gifted characters may return given the events of WandaVision episode 5, “ On a Very Special Episode…” This episode of the Disney Plus series was an homage to 1980s sitcoms like Growing Pains and Full House, which included the obligatory family pupper playing a special role.Īt the very end, however, a special guest showed up at Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision’s (Paul Bettany) front door – her long-dead brother Pietro/Quicksilver in full Uncle Jesse mode. “I think eventually these characters will develop into something that the fans are familiar with, in terms of the comic books.Could The Gifted characters be returning in WandaVision in some way? “These will be the beginning stages of these mutants discovering their powers,” says Chung. ![]() ![]() It just won’t be immediate, as the show is about mutants who are only just discovering their powers. Jamie Chung, who plays the mutant Blink, also added that The Gifted will eventually get to a place where these characters look as they do in the comics. “People will direct message me almost every day, they’re like ‘We want to see the green hair! We want to see the green hair!’ I promise you, you will get the green hair.” Fans are hoping Dane’s character will retain her comic book looks, which she assures that she will. “We have people who expect a certain thing and of course we want to stick by the original mythology,” says Dane, who plays the green-haired Polaris on The Gifted. But the show will have characters from the comics, and in an interview with Fox 5 Vegas (via Heroic Hollywood), actress Lorna Dane says they will retain their bizarre looks. In Marvel’s X-Men comics, there are of course underground mutant groups who evade a racist government, but The Gifted won’t star any of the popular X-Men - at least for now. The show follows the Struckers, a family who learns their children are mutants and join an underground group to escape the clutches of the government. Following last spring’s Legion on FX, the next X-TV show, Fox’s The Gifted, is set to premiere this fall in primetime. The X-Men movie franchise is scary close to reaching its 20th anniversary, but the world of mutants is only just beginning to expand.
