Variety reports Chung will play the mutant Blink, who in the comics has the power of teleportation. Blink's real name is Clarice Fong (in the comics her name is Clarice Ferguson) in the pilot, and she's described as a lively and sarcastic tomboy who has to adjust to her new surroundings and home following a traumatic event. Chung has had prior TV roles in Gotham, Once Upon A Time, and Believe (and of course The Real World).
Chung is the second actor to join the cast following Blair Redford (Switched at Birth, Satisfaction), who will play a mutant named Sam. The character is described as "the strong-headed Native American leader of the underground network."
X-Men movie guru Bryan Singer will direct the pilot with Burn Notice creator Matt Nix penning the script and executive-producing alongside Singer. Nix discussed the series last month, confirming it will connect to the movies.
The story will center around two parents who end up joining an underground mutant network after they discover their children have mutant powers. No release date for the show has been set at this time as it has not been greenlit for a series commitment yet.
Blink previously appeared in X-Men: Days of Future Past, where she was played by Chinese actress Fan Bingbing.
