Producers Talk FX's 'Legion', Jemaine Clement Joins Cast
Series creator Noah Hawley (Fargo) has revealed tat Jemaine Clement will join Dan Stevens and Aubrey Plaza for FX's Legion. Deadline reports that the actor is set for a number of episodes.
The character of David Haller AKA Legion is the son of Charles Xavier, and Hawley has responded that "I don't think you can tell that story without that element to it, so I will say you probably will."
Producer Lauren Shuler has said that the X-Men movies would not make their way into the series, though creator has kept that door slightly ajar. "I think there’s a certain degree to where that’s to be determined. We’re in the subjective reality of David. We also begin to realize, we’re seeing this world through multiple layers of the confusion and signals that Dan’s character is getting. I think it would be a spoiler in a true sense to say.
"I really like the idea of making things that are unexpected and yet feel inevitable. I will say we are true to the origins of this character, and leave it at that."
