Legion Season 2: 8 Major Questions We Need Answers To
Will David ever meet his famous dad?
Fox gave us one of the finest Marvel TV series we've ever had last year in the form of Legion, a loose spin-off of the X-Men universe. From the mind of Fargo showrunner Noah Hawley and starring Dan Stevens, it focussed on the mind-bending life of the powerful mutant David Haller whose demons live inside his own head.
As it featured a protagonist who constantly questioned his own sanity and the reality around him, Legion continually threw its viewers for a loop and most of the time was happy to leave us without a clue as to what was going on. Eventually, we did get a certain amount of answers but, on the whole, by the time the first season finale came around, we had still had a whole lot of burning questions.
Thankfully, Legion season 2 is almost here, arriving on April 3rd. And the first thing it needs to do is clear up a few of these questions. Some of them will simply become apparent as the plot develops, while others are more long-term mysteries that might not even get addressed this year. Either way, we need to get some sort of closure to stop them gnawing away at our brains like the Shadow King.
8. Who Kidnapped David And Why?
Let's start off with the last question posed by the season 1 finale. In a deliberately MCU-aping post-credits scene, David was hoovered up from his balcony at Summerland by a weird high-tech flying sphere. So what the hell is this thing and who's controlling it?
The trailers for season 2 have revealed that David eventually manages to escape the sphere - a year after the events of the finale. As he has no recollection of what happened to him in that time, his friends become suspicious of him, which could cause cracks within the Summerland gang.
Still, while this sheds a little light on the situation, we've yet to find out the purpose of his digital kidnapping. The obvious culprits would be Division 3, but we know that the anti-mutant organisation are currently allied with our heroes in order to catch the Shadow King.
So why would they get David out of the way when they need his help catching a bigger threat? Could this be the work of a mysterious third threat that's out there somewhere?
