With just around two weeks to go, FX has released a whole new batch of promotional stills and cast portraits from their upcoming critically acclaimed X-Men spin-off series, Legion! Come take a look!
If early reviews (which have all had very good things to say) are any indicator, Noah Hawley (Fargo) has done it again, and we should be in for the mind trip of a lifetime when FX officially rolls out their upcoming X-Men spin-off series, Legion, on February 8.
The series stars Dan Stevens (Beauty and the Beast) as David Haller as he tries to navigate his new superpowered reality and determine whether or not what he's seeing is actually there. He'll be joined in his mind-bending quest by Rachel Keller (Fargo), Jean Smart (The Accountant), Aubrey Plaza (Parks and Recreation), Jeremie Harris (After Party), Amber Midthunder (Hell or High Water), Katie Aselton (The League), Bill Irwin (Bastards), and Jemaine Clement (Moana).
FX recently debuted a ton of new photos from the show, featuring practically everyone from the main cast, so scroll down below to check out twenty-eight new promotional stlls:
Legion, based on the Marvel Comics by Chris Claremont and Bill Sienkiewicz, is the story of David Haller (Dan Stevens) – a troubled young man who may be more than human.
Diagnosed as schizophrenic as a child, David has been in and out of psychiatric hospitals for years. Now in his early 30s and institutionalized once again, David loses himself in the rhythm of the structured regimen of life in the hospital: breakfast, lunch, dinner, therapy, medications, sleep. David spends the rest of his time in companionable silence alongside his chatterbox friend Lenny (Aubrey Plaza), a fellow patient whose life-long drug and alcohol addiction has done nothing to quell her boundless optimism that her luck is about to change. The pleasant numbness of David’s routine is completely upended with the arrival of a beautiful and troubled new patient named Syd (Rachel Keller). Inexplicably drawn to one another, David and Syd share a startling encounter, after which he must confront the shocking possibility that the voices he hears and the visions he sees are the result of him being a mutant.
A haunted man, David escapes from the hospital and seeks shelter with his sister Amy (Katie Aselton). But Amy’s concern for her brother is trumped by her desire to protect the picture perfect suburban life she’s built for herself. Eventually, Syd guides David to Melanie Bird (Jean Smart), a nurturing but demanding therapist with a sharp mind and unconventional methods. She and her team of specialists – Ptonomy (Jeremie Harris), Kerry (Amber Midthunder) and Cary (Bill Irwin) – open David’s eyes to an extraordinary new world of possibilities.
