the 90-minute pilot will be based on the characters from the movie and is described as an epic supernatural action drama. Now, here’s where the tie-in might be most relevant. The original film involved a pregnant woman whose unborn child might be the salvation of mankind. Deadline says the pilot follows „the perilous journey of a rebellious young soldier who discovers he’s the unlikely savior of humanity.“ So, is this guy the baby 25 years later? Just a bit of speculation. I still haven’t actually gotten around to seeing Legion, so I have no idea how the movie leaves off. I may have to get on that if this project moves forward.
The pilot is set to be directed by Legion writer/director Scott Stewart, with Sons of Anarchy’s credited for writing the pilot.
