Accoridng to Deadline, Coby Bell has landed a co-starring role in Fox's untitled X-Men family drama and it sounds like we could have the show's first villain! According to the character description, The Burn Notice alum will play Jace Turner, "a weathered man who quietly wrestles with the moral ambiguities of a job that regularly requires cold-blooded, calculating efficiency on a day-to-day basis."
I've checked and there's no comic book character with that name in the Marvel Universe, but he definitely sounds like someone who could be in charge of something like the Sentinel programme!
The cast of this X-Men TV series is coming together very quickly now, though only a handful of those who have jouned the show appear to be based on characters who hail from the comic books.
The show is set to focus 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 Sentinels have been confirmed as appearing while Nix has been previously quoted as saying that the untitled series will be set in the same world as the films.
