September 15, 2017 by Gary Collinson

Last month it was announced that Elena Satine will be portraying the character of Beautiful Dreamer in the upcoming X-Men series The Gifted, and now we have word on the casting of another Morlock.

Actor Jermaine Rivers (MacGyver) has announced on Instagram that he has joined the Marvel Television-produced series in the role of Shatter. Created by Geoff Johns and making his first appearance in Morlocks #1, Shatter possesses crystal-like skin, and has a cracked depression on the side of his head from a failed suicide attempt following the manifestation of his mutant abilities.
