Legion: Dan Stevens Says More ‘Entities Within David’ To Be Revealed In Season 2

The first season of Legion offered audiences a much more psychologically bizarre comic book show than many were used to, as its lead character has many entities residing within him. For those fans who really connected with the compelling story, star Dan Stevens recently revealed to Comicbook.com that there’s plenty more weirdness where that came from, which, of course, means many more characters within David’s head coming to life.

When asked if the upcoming season would explore the wide range of David’s powers, Stevens explained, “I think so, we haven’t even really scratched the surface of the number of characters or entities that are contained within Legion. The Shadow King was obviously one of them, and a large part, but there’s a lot more going on.”

The actor also hinted at how much the show will incorporate elements from the Marvel comics upon which the show is based, which have explored the character’s quirks for years.

Stevens notes, “Anyone who knows the comics knows the scope of the world in which its set, so there’s a lot more to dig out of his head.”

We’ll learn more about the just what type of beings David will conjure when Legion returns with Season 2 premiere in 2018.
