Professor X himself has made it to Marvel's Legion on FX, and he's a dad now. British actor Harry Lloyd, best known for a season as the loathsome Viserys Targaryen on Game of Thrones, plays a young Charles Xavier as David (Dan Stevens) pieces together his father's past.
Much of Legion takes place inside David's turbulent mind, where a powerful, parasitic mutant burrowed long ago. Season 3 will reveal Charles' connection to that mutant, Amahl Farouk (Navid Negahban), and what he did (or didn't do) to protect his son.
Legion was always connected peripherally to the X-Men franchise, existing in the same world of mutants and humans but never interacting with or explicitly mentioning well-known characters from the main comics or Fox movies. Something tells us – that something being Charles Xavier sitting at Cerebro – that that's about to change.
Legion Season 3 premieres June 24 on FX.
