In the upcoming X-Men: Days of Future Past, Omar Sy plays Bishop – the son of Aborigine mutant refugees, whose powers include energy absorption and redirection, as well as superhuman physical attributes, and the ability to instinctively know his present location.
How much screen time, and how involved the character will be in the overall narrative is unknown at this time. I’d be surprised if it’s a role with any real weight, even though the character is an interesting one, with intriguing origins, and capabilities to be explored on screen.

I believe Leinil Yu did the redesign and remember him basing Bishop’s hair (a departure from the original El DeBarge-style Whilce [Portacio] had introduced the character with) on Busta Rhymes. I am 99.9% sure this is what happened. Once again… you’re welcome, America.
And after that, Burlingame reached out to Yu on Twitter, and this is the conversation that followed, along with editor Jason Liebig:
