From writer Matt Nix (Burn Notice) and director Bryan Singer (X-Men: Apocalypse), the new series is still without an official title. Natalie Alyn Lind’s character is said to be playing the role of Lauren, one of the family’s children.

“[Lauren is] smart, pretty, popular, organized and already ahead on her college applications,” reads the trade’s character description. “She is the model of a perfect kid.”

No stranger to comic book television, Natalie Alyn Lind has previously guest starred on FOX’s Gotham as Silver St. Cloud.

“Developing a Marvel property has been a top priority for the network–and we are so pleased with how Matt Nix has led us into this thrilling universe,” Fox Entertainment president David Madden said back in July when the show was announced. “There’s comic book adventure, emotional and complicated relationships, and a rich, existing mythology from which to draw. With the brilliant production crew behind this project, it has all the makings of a big, fun and exciting new series.”
