Comment on Bryan Singer Teases Legion’s Connection to Future X-Men Movies

Bryan Singer teases Legion’s connection to future X-Men movies Before the show had even filmed its pilot episode, Legion creator Noah Hawley was already cooling fan expectations about the show’s overall connection to the X-Men film series, saying it was conceived as a more standalone piece. Speaking at the Edinburgh Television Festival (via THR), franchise director Bryan Singer echoed this sentiment, calling it “part of the X-Men universe, but when you watched it, you wouldn’t have to label it, it could exist completely on its own.” Singer went on, however, and said Legion and another planned X-Men TV series (announced back in July) “will relate to future X-Men movies” with a “really ambitious and fun and very unique storyline.” Currently the only announced X-Men films include the upcoming Wolverine 3, Deadpool 2, and The New Mutants, so it remains to be seen if the relation between the television shows will be for these films or a currently-unannounced project.
