‘The Gifted’ season 2: Emma Dumont on Polaris becoming Magneto’s heir, a mutant mother

The central theme of FOX and Marvel’s X-Men TV series The Gifted is family. While that theme is most focused on the Struckers, it reveals itself as well in Lorna Dane, aka Polaris, played by Emma Dumont.

“At the beginning of Season Two, Lorna is very different from the end of Season One,” Dumont tells ComicBook.com during a visit to The Gifted’s Atlanta set. “It’s been six months. She’s very pregnant. She’s about to have the baby and she’s in a different place emotionally. She’s actually pretty content. Over the course of episode one we see her get nervous and more suspicious and more scared but in the very beginning, she’s sort of just living her life. She has this fancy new place to live. She has these fancy new clothes. She’s almost unrecognizable.
