Legion premiere date announced

David Haller is on the edge of sanity, but that only clouds how strong the mutant is.

A new teaser from FX’s upcoming Marvel series Legion — from Fargo showrunner Noah Hawley — shows Haller (Dan Stevens) seeking help and struggling with his schizophrenia. One man sums up Haller’s predicament in an ominous manner: “He believes he’s mentally ill, but he may be the most powerful mutant we’ve ever encountered.”

David’s friend Lenny (Aubrey Plaza) wasn’t particularly optimistic about his chances with a presumably clandestine government on his tail. “They’re coming, and they’re going to kill you,” she smiles.

See the teaser above. Legion, also starring Jean Smart, Katie Aselton, and Bill Irwin, lands on FX in February 2017.
