Fox’s Untitled X-Men Series Casts Jamie Chung As Blink
By Angie Han/Feb. 22, 2017 9:34 am EST
Fans of the X-Men films may recall that Blink was previously portrayed by Fan Bingbing in X-Men: Days of Future Past — which could get confusing if it turns out the new television series is set in the same universe as the existing X-Men movies. But I’m sure they could retcon some convoluted explanation involving time travel if they really wanted to. And anyway, Fox’s X-Men continuity hasn’t really made sense in years. So sure, why not another version of Blink?
Clarice’s naturally strong exuberance has taken a hit after a sudden and traumatic upheaval of her life. As she adjusts to the new people and places that are suddenly ‘home,’ Clarice is slowly becoming herself again. Blink is an established character from the X-Men comics with the power of teleportation.
Chung actually has a fair amount of experience with superhero properties already. She has a recurring role as Valerie Vale on the current season of Fox’s Gotham, and voiced Go Go Tomago in Disney Animation’s Marvel adventure Big Hero 6. Her other recent credits include ABC’s Once Upon a Time (she recurs as Mulan), Zack Snyder’s Sucker Punch, Robert Rodriguez’s Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, and the last two Hangover movies.
