Bryan Singer directed the first X-Men movie in 2000 and three other of the X-Men films, including the latest, X-Men: Apocalypse.
The X-Men TV series is described an action-adventure drama that focuses on two ordinary parents who discover their children possess mutant powers. Forced to go on the run from a hostile government, the family joins up with an underground network of mutants and must fight to survive. The X-Men TV series has also been described as featuring a world in which mutant kids are forced to go on the run after manifesting their powers and how the established mutants have something to say about it all.
Burn Notice's Matt Nix is serving as showrunner, with Marvel TV also involved in developing the project.
