AceShowbiz - "Legion" isn't coming until 2017, but we've got a glimpse at the FX/Marvel series through the first trailer that was released at San Diego Comic-Con this weekend. It focuses on Dan Stevens' David Haller at what looks like a psychiatric hospital.
He's seen in an interview room with another man, who tries to find out what's inside David's head. As David recounts his story, the scene switches to show chaotic telekinetics, mind-bending footage and dance sequence.
"Legion" follows David Haller, a haunted man diagnosed as schizophrenic at a young age. 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.
In the Marvel comics, he is the son of X-Men founder Charles Xavier. Believing that the voices he is hearing are signs he's mentally ill, he eventually splits into three different personalities: David, the sociopath Lucas, and David's inner child Ian.
The series also stars Aubrey Plaza, Jean Smart, Rachel Keller, Jeremie Harris, Amber Midthunder, Katie Aselton and Bill Irwin. Noah Hawley serves as executive producer along with Lauren Schuler Donner, Bryan Singer, Simon Kinberg, Jeph Loeb, Jim Chory and John Cameron.
