James McAvoy Asked About Jubilee's Lame Powers in X-MEN: APOCALYPSE
I’ve always thought that Jubilee was one of the lamest X-Men ever created. The fact that her special power is basically shooting out fireworks is pretty weak sauce. She has her fanbase, though. I’m just not among them. In a recent interview with Bravo TV, James McAvoy is asked which of the X-Men have the lamest powers, and of course, he brought up Jubilee, and in the process he reveals that they were changed up a bit for X-Men: Apocalypse:
“Her power was kind of like, ‘What is her power? She can kind of make fireworks come out of her fingers in the cartoon, but I think in the movie they make it more like, ‘She is the mistress of electricity…’ But Jubilee is in the new movie, and she doesn’t suck at all.”
Jubilee is played by Lana Condor in the film, and her bright yellow costume design is true to her character’s origin. Since it was first announced that this Jubilee would be included in the movie, I’ve been curious to see how she’s portrayed. Maybe we’ll get to see her in action in the upcoming trailer that will be attached to Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
What are your thoughts on Jubilee being a part of the film and changing up her powers a bit?
