Even though Legion, FX's X-Men-related television series, won't make its premiere until 2017, Executive Producer Noah Hawley is hard at work on the pilot's sound mix, and he shared a sneak peek photo that gives us another look at its star Dan Stevens.
Gee, what event could possibly be coming up that would require the pilot getting fine-tuned well before its official debut? Oh yeah, San Diego Comic Con is happening later this month. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that Legion gets shown to the masses there.
Legion is the story of a troubled young man who may be more than human. It introduces the story of David Haller, who since he was a teenager, has struggled with mental illness. Diagnosed as schizophrenic, David has been in and out of psychiatric hospitals for years. But after a strange encounter with a fellow patient, he's confronted with the possibility that the voices he hears and the visions he sees might be real.
Dan Stevens ("Downton Abbey"), Rachel Keller ("Fargo"), Jean Smart ("Fargo"), Aubrey Plaza ("Parks and Recreation"), Jeremie Harris ("A Walk Among the Tombstones"), Amber Midthunder ("Hell or High Water"), Katie Aselton ("The League") and Bill Irwin ("Interstellar") star in "Legion." Noah Hawley ("Fargo") will serve as an Executive Producer along with Lauren Shuler Donner ("X-Men: Days of Future Past," "Deadpool"), Bryan Singer ("X-Men: Apocalypse," "Superman Returns"), Simon Kinberg ("X-Men: Days of Future Past," "The Martian"), Jeph Loeb ("Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.," "Marvel's Daredevil," "Marvel's Jessica Jones"), Jim Chory ("Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.," "Marvel's Daredevil," "Marvel's Jessica Jones") and John Cameron ("Fargo," "The Big Lebowski"). "Legion" is the latest project from Hawley and Cameron, two of the Executive Producers of the Emmy® and Golden Globe® -winning FX limited series "Fargo."
Production on the eight-episode first season will begin this summer in Vancouver and the new series from FX Productions and Marvel Television will debut globally in early 2017.
