Jubilation Lee was the last newcomer to the X-Men comic universe before I stopped reading comics.
It had nothing to do with the character, it had to do with things like money, time, work...and other stuff.
I liked how she was introduced, her relationship with Wolverine (which is kinda like a throwback to his relationship with Kitty), and her look (which at one point kinda looked like Marvel's answer to Tim Drake...which they even made fun of). I'm sure she fought Apocalypse at some point in the books, but regardless - she's fighting him in the movie. And it was just announced that she'll be played by this young woman:
Lana Condor.
Just so we're clear, Condor isn't the same actor who played the character in previous films of the X-Men franchise. Kae Wong played her in both X2 and X-Men: The Last Stand.
But I'm happy for Ms. Condor, and I'm happy that Jubilee's in the film.
But maybe Singer should have her ditch the raincoat. Just sayin'...
