Yesterday, Syfy announced that it had canceled the Ben Affleck and Matt Damon-produced series Incorporated, but star Sean Teale has already bounced back and found himself a new job. According to Deadline, he’ll have a “lead role” on Fox’s untitled, X-Men-adjacent drama series, appearing alongside the recently cast Stephen Moyer. Teale will be playing a mutant character named Marco Diaz who is “a natural rebel compelled by circumstances to cooperate with others,” but when he’s doing mutant stuff he’ll go by the name Eclipse. His powers will involve “the ability to absorb and manipulate photons,” and Deadline notes that he’s a “newly created mutant” for the show—most likely because all of the cool mutants from the comics have already been used in one of the X-Men movies.
The series will also star Jamie Chung as Blink and Blair Redford as someone named Sam.
