X-Men: The Gifted Promo Gives Up-Close Look At Sentinel Drones

FOX’s X-Men series The Gifted is one of the more anticipated shows of the fall, and the latest promo shows why.

FOX has released a few bits of new footage, including a closer look at Sentinel Services new drones. The little arachnid styled machines are more mobile than previous Sentinels, and are better at tracking and catching up their prey.

As you can see in the footage, they also have the ability to clasp onto individuals, and it takes the combined might of the group to get one of them off.

Other new footage includes a look at the impressive powers of Polaris, who disables a handful of police cars, though it isn’t clear why. Eclipse’s powers are also seen in the footage, and a portal created by soon to be fan favorite Blink also makes an appearance.

You can see the footage below.

The Gifted sits in an odd space in the timeline, something star Stephen Moyer recently addressed to CTV.

“In terms of timeline, because obviously we just had Logan which was a lot further forward and obviously Legion which is a lot further back. So we definitely slot into a timeline, but as of yet, we’re not allied. I think they have given themselves a lot of leeway in order to be able to go places, but we’ve enough story within our universe to propel us forward without having to do that.”

You can find the synopsis for The Gifted below.

Produced in association with Marvel Television, family adventure series THE GIFTED tells the emotional story of a suburban couple whose ordinary lives are rocked by the sudden discovery that their children possess mutant powers.
