In fact, 20th Century Fox TV and Marvel Television are currently developing a live-action X-Men TV series that has Singer lined up to direct the pilot episode, as well as X-Men movie mainstays Lauren Shuler Donner and Simon Kinberg onboard as executive producers.
Matt Nix (creator of Burn Notice and Complications) is writing the pilot episode for the X-Men TV series, with Blair Redford (Switched at Birth) starring as “Sam”: a “strong-headed” mutant who leads an underground network dedicated to protecting other mutants being persecuted by the government.
The X-Men movie franchise has been going strong at the box office since director Bryan Singer kicked the series off with his first installment, in 2000.
A costar for Redford has now been found too, in the form of Once Upon a Time and Gotham TV show veteran Jamie Chung.
