Jamie Chung is one of Marvel’s new superheroes! The actress has been cast as Blink for Fox’s new X-Men drama series, according to Deadline.
As Clarice Fong (a.k.a. Blink), Chung will join a family of mutant children raised by two ordinary parents in the pilot. Clarice is a sarcastic hero with powers of teleportation.
Clarice is described as someone whose “naturally strong exuberance has taken a hit after a sudden and traumatic upheaval of her life.”
Chung, a Korean American who started her career on MTV’s “The Real World,” has appeared in a slew of films and TV shows, including a recurring role as Valerie Vale on “Gotham,” as Mulan on “Once Upon A Time” and “Casual.”
The new show, written by Matt Nix and directed by Bryan Singer, will reportedly tie into the comic giant’s cinematic universe.
