Update: EW has found out that Joseph Morgan has not been cast in FOX's X-Men Pilot.
Lauren Shuler Donner, a longtime producer of the X-Men movie franchise, tweeted on Friday a photo of a table read for the pilot of Fox’s untitled Marvel series. “Cast reading for ‘Gifted,'” she wrote at the time, while the image revealed The Originals star Joseph Morgan sitting among previously announced actors Stephen Moyer, Jamie Chung, and Amy Acker. While this has caused some speculation as to the series’ title and cast, here’s what EW has learned.
According to multiple sources, Morgan has not been cast in the series, which also will feature Emma Dumont, Percy Hynes White, Blair Redford, Sean Teale, and Natalie Alyn Lind. It turns out Morgan was merely filling in for the read-through. As for the title, EW has confirmed it’s not the official name for the series as of yet, but it is the current working title.

Thanks to A for the heads up.
