We puzzle through more of the indecipherable, reacquainting ourselves with the expanse of David Haller’s mind.
Last year, in a time before mergers, Fox had a pretty good run when it came to their X-Men slate. Logan— the western that ended up being a perfect send-off to both Wolverine and Professor X — went on to receive a ton of awards buzz and landed a coveted Best Adapted Screenplay nomination at the Oscars. Meanwhile on TV, The Gifted began examining the fate of a family surprised by the burgeoning mutation in their children, and Legion started exploring the beginnings of another thread in Charles Xavier’s life: his son, David Haller (Dan Stevens).
Season 1 of Legion earned the show rave reviews — we at FSR love it — and created what seems like a new gold standard for superhero television shows. If there has ever been a tried-and-true method to nailing superhero stuff, it has always been to focus on creating engaging visual worlds and characters that introduce something different and/or bizarre. Legion‘s Season 2 trailer has just dropped, confirming that both of those factors are still very much present as the show takes a dive into the weird and wondrous. Watch it below.
