The Gifted won’t cross over with Legion or any of Fox’s X-Men films

Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
Don’t expect Jean Grey or Cyclops to show up to help out the superpowered teens on Fox’s upcoming X-Men adaptation The Gifted. As revealed at the show’s Comic-Con panel today, the Amy Acker-starring series takes place in a universe where Professor X’s mutant heroes (and their counterparts in Magneto’s evil Brotherhood) have both gone missing, taking the potential for big-budget crossovers with them. (There’s no Legion, either, with executive producer Lauren Shuler Donner telling a fan, “I’m sorry to break your heart. No, but thank you for wanting it.”)
