‘Legion’ Season 2 Trailer Is Here To Mess With Your Mind

Let’s just cut through the BS and acknowledge reality. It’s not the government that controls us. It’s not money either. Personal success, happiness, love: none of those. It’s Marvel. Marvel owns us. And as long as they keep making “Legion,” then we’re okay with that.

FX and Marvel just released the first trailer for “Legion” season 2, and it looks just as crazy, scary, and beautiful as the first season.  In a recent interview, showrunner Noah Hawley said, “If the first year was the story of an insane man in a sane world, now I’m looking at David as a sane man in an insane world.” Sign us up!

Based on the Marvel Comics by Chris Claremont and Bill Sienkiewicz, Legion is the story of David Haller (Dan Stevens), a man who believed himself to be schizophrenic only to discover that he may actually be the most powerful mutant the world has ever seen. David shuffled from one psychiatric institution to the next until, in his early 30s, he met and fell in love with a beautiful and troubled fellow patient named “Syd” (Rachel Keller). After Syd and David shared a startling encounter, he was forced to confront the shocking possibility that the voices he hears, and the visions he sees, may actually be real.

In season 2, we’re all finally going to meet the Shadow King, aka Amahl Farouk, is his original form, after teasing it out throughout all of Season 1, played by “Homeland’s” Navid Negahban. Jean Smart as Melanie Bird, Jeremie Harris as Ptonomy Wallace, Katie Aselton as David’s sister Amy, Amber Midthunder as Kerry Loudermilk, Bill Irwin as Cary Loudermilk and Aubrey Plaza as Lenny Busker (now dead?) all return to the series for the second season.

And this time, we’ll get 10 episodes unlike the first season’s 8 episodes. “Legion” season 2 will debut in April 3.
