Legion at San Diego Comic Con 2017

The cast and crew of Legion made an appearance at the 2017 San Diego Comic Con on July 20, 2017, at the San Diego Convention Center. They held a panel to discuss the completed season 1 and approaching season 2, and had several interviews. A special Legion-themed mixed-reality experience was featured at the convention, as well as the Summerland swing set and an enormous poster.

## Panel

Legion Screening and Q&A - 5:00pm-6:00pm in Ballroom 20

*Legion,* based on the *New Mutants* Marvel Comics by Chris Claremont and Bill Sienkiewicz, is the story of David Haller (Dan Stevens), a troubled young man who grew up believing himself to be schizophrenic, only to discover he is something more than human. In fact, David could be the most powerful mutant who has ever lived. Along with a team of other extraordinarily gifted people at a facility called Summerland, David learns to accept his true self and defeat the Shadow King. Or so they all believe. Creator/executive producer/writer/director Noah Hawley is joined by fellow executive producers John Cameron, Lauren Shuler Donner, and Jeph Loeb and series stars Dan Stevens, Rachel Keller, Aubrey Plaza, Jean Smart, Bill Irwin, Jeremie Harris, and Amber Midthunder for a conversation on what to look forward to from season 2 of *Legion*.
