"X-Men" TV Series "Legion" debuted its first full trailer at San Diego Comic Con this year. Reportedly, the show is set to premiere next year but has kept its viewers updated with promos, and now, FX has posted two new promos.
"Switch," which is the first promo with main characters David Haller and Syd, teases the duo kiss and experience an unexpected consequence when the two switch bodies after locking lips, while "WTF" is the second promo featuring David Haller and Lenny watching a fellow patient at a mental hospital drool blankly.
"Legion's" first full trailer was released shortly after Comic Con where it teases on the series' protagonist David, as he starts to realize that his long struggle with schizophrenia might not be what it seems. The character, who has dealt with mental illness since he was a teen, discovers that the voices in his head might be real.
According to Hollywood Reporter, Bryan Singer will produce "Legion," wherein he recently confirmed that the series would be part of the cinematic X-Men universe. Speaking at the Edinburgh Television Festival, the producer said, "[Legion is] part of the X-Men universe, but when you watch it, you wouldn't have to label it, it could exist entirely on its own."
Singer also said FX was working on yet another "X-Men" series despite their failed efforts with "Hellfire." The next series "will relate to future X-Men movies and has a really ambitious and fun and very unique storyline," according to Singer.
According to Den of Geek, Executive Producer Jeph Loeb said "Marvel Television is thrilled to not only have our first partnership with FX go to series, but working with the enormously talented Noah Hawley makes it even better."
"From the first time we heard Noah's vision to his exceptional script and cast through the extraordinary filming of the pilot, we knew the series would be incredible," Loeb added.
"Legion" is a story of a troubled young man who may be more than human with special powers. It introduces the story of David Haller, a teenager struggling with mental illness and diagnosed as schizophrenic. Many years David consults number of psychiatric hospitals. During this course he meets a fellow patient with similar symptoms and concludes to himself that such possibilities of hearing voices and seeing visions might be real.
"Legion" will premiere in early 2017.
