The second Marvel and Fox produced TV show is called Legion, about whom the fans know to be the long lost son of Professor X "“ the leader of the X-Men. FX Networks has already ordered a pilot for this show, which is meant to present the origin story of David Haller, diagnosed with schizophrenia. However, he soon realizes that there is something else which is different about him "“ he has special powers, being a mutant.

What is interesting is who the producers of the TV series are: all those who have made the X-Men franchise a successful one "“ Bryan Singer, Lauren Shuler Donner and Simon Kinberg. Besides these three, another name was also added: Jeph Loeb, the Marvel executive producer for, basically, all the Marvel TV series thus far.

What is even more interesting than that is the fact that most of the stories which have Legion as a central character also involve the X-Men. This isn't all, since Legion can be connected with quite a few New Mutants storylines "“ and this is a spin-off which will be produced by Fox for the big screens.

Thus far, these are the only pieces of news concerning this project "“ about which we are even more excited than about Hellfire. Seeing all of these talented people working on it, seeing that the Fargo TV series writer (Noah Hawley) is also onboard for the pilot "“ what can go wrong?!?
