The upcoming "X-Men" spinoff TV show has revealed last week that it was near to a preliminary Fox order with producers confirming the inclusion of the robot that hunts mutants - the Sentinels.
Details of Matt Nix's forthcoming "X-Men" TV series are still limited but the producer of the 20th Century Fox hinted about the mystifying "X-Men" enterprise. The announcement turned up while deliberating how the new series will be connected to the "X-Men" movie series.
Producer of the "X-Men" franchise, Lauren Shuler Donner clarified that Sentinels will be included in the TV series; however, these robots will not be the huge robots the "X-Men" fans used to know, as reported by GameSpot.
The "X-Men" spinoff TV show writer Nix verified that the series will center on mutant teenagers who are compelled to go on hiding following the surfacing of their powers, which is a storyline that speculated last year. He likewise mentioned of recognizable X-Men that will be in the spinoff TV series.
"There are a certain amount of [familiar] characters that I can use and am using and then other characters I'm inventing," he said. "But everything is invented with a nod toward the existing mythology."
ComicBook reported that Sentinels are classic X-Men villains that were introduced in "X-Men: Days of Future Past" that hit theaters in 2014. The Sentinels in the movie were titans that knew to develop how to imitate the abilities of those mutants they hunted.
Sentinels originally made its appearance in "The X-Men" issue of 1965 and were also featured in the latest films Days of Future Past and Apocalypse. Donner did not build on how the old and new robots will be different from each other.
The upcoming TV show is not Fox's primary endeavor at an "X-Men" series. It was reported in 2015 has been establishing a show titled "Hellfire" but was later cancelled and was replaced,
