FX has announced that Legion will premiere on February 8th, and a new trailer has been released to accompany the news. The series looks pretty bizarre to say the least, and it's not a preview which is exactly packed full of moments which seem to pay homage to the hero's comic book counterpart.
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. It's a cool premise, but looks a lot different to the X-Men movies.
Created by Fargo’s Noah Hawley, Legion stars Dan Stevens in the title role and has a great ensemble cast made up of Rachel Keller, Aubrey Plaza, and Jean Smart. What do you think of this teaser?
