Shortly after Legion was announced, many wondered how and if the television series will connect to the X-Men Cinematic Universe.
As of right now, no one is sure if they have thought about tying the two together but are unsure of how the events from the films will impact the series. Also, it isn’t known if they just haven’t given the idea of a crossover much thought.
Legion showrunner Noah Hawley is quoted as saying the following:
“I think more the latter. We certainly haven’t had any conversations about crossovers. I don’t know anything about it, but I think that one is more linearly taken out of the world of the movies. Ours has its own world to it.”
In relation to the movies, it sounds like everything will be from the same universe. However, there will be little to no interaction as of now.
“”It’s conceived more as a standalone. I don’t want to say too much more about it on that level, but certainly it’s not constructed as a back-door anything. It’s more just that there’s a story that I want to explore that has to fit into that larger universe, which is exciting.”
Legion and Hellfire were announced last week. Both are targeted for development at FX and FOX for the 2016-2017 TV season.
What do you think of the possibility of a crossover? Are you looking forward to Legion and Hellfire?
