Director Bryan Singer revealed a new mutant joining the X-Men film franchise.

Lana Candor will play Jubilation Lee in X-Men: Apocalypse, Singer shared via Instagram.

In comics Jubilation Lee (Jubilee) was a “mall rat” and orphan with the power to create fireworks. The X-Men met her while they still based in the Australian Outback and would teleport to adventures around the globe.

Lee became a sidekick of Wolverine and one of the team but she later left to join the kids of Generation X.

Singer previously announced new actors in the roles of a younger Jean Grey, Cyclops, Storm and Nightcrawler.

The new film is set in the 1980’s and pits the Children of the Atom against Apocalypse, known as En Sabah Nur, the first mutant.

X-Men: Apocalypse opens May, 2016.
