The character was present in all three earlier <em>X-Men<\/em> films, played first by Katrina Florence and later by Kea Wong. Condor will play an alternate version of the fan-favorite.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re hopeful that, since Condor was given the same treatment as previous casting news, Jubilee will be a prominent character in the upcoming film. With no filmography to go by, we&#8217;ll have to settle in and wait to see what this Jubilee will be like.<\/p>\n<p><em>X-Men: Apocalypse<\/em> is set for release on May 27, 2016, and stars Michael Fassbender as Magneto, James McAvoy as Charles Xavier, and Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique. The cast also boasts Nicholas Hoult, Channing Tatum, Evan Peters, Hugh Jackman, Oscar Isaac, Sophie Turner, Tye Sheridan, Alexandra Shipp, and Kodi Smit-McPhee.<\/p>\n<p>Are you excited for Jubilee to join the team?
