The Gifted Introduces Its Cast, Preps San Diego Comic Con Viral Campaign

The hype for Fox’s The Gifted, set in the X-Men universe, is starting to ramp up.  Just in time for Comic Con we have a more conclusive look at the cast and the characters and who they’ll be playing leading up to the October 2nd premiere.  Twitter dropped 9 ten second promos of the series cast as their characters giving us the first good look at everyone from Polaris to the Strucker family themselves. My favorite is probably a toss up between Thunderbird (we rarely ever get to see him, if ever), Polaris, and Papa Strucker, but this gives everyone a chance to get to know the “Gifted” cast.  Check them out below.

These aren’t the only pieces of viral information that The Gifted is dropping just in time for SDCC.  Sentinel Services has launched an Instagram page imploring Americans to report, “any signs of mutation” although there’s more to the video then meets the eye.  It looks as if there’s a resistance alive and well! Check it out.

It seems as if Sentinel Services will be out in force during the convention as well.  If you’re from San Diego you’re no stranger to hospital advertisements, but these ads have a particularly sinister bent.

All signs point to Sentinel Services being a major force at the convention, testing willing (or perhaps unwilling?) convention goers for any signs of the X-Gene.  Are you bold enough to take the test? Do you think you might be “Gifted” and if so what are the consequences? Sound off and share your thoughts in the comments below.

Fox’s The Gifted stars Amy Acker, Stephen Moyer, Natalie Alyn Lind, Jamie Chung, Emma Dumont, Sean Teale, Blair Redford, Coby Bell, and Percy Hynes-White.  It airs on October 2nd, 2017.
