5. Legion Season 2 confirmed

After a mind-boggling season finale, Legion’s series creator Noah Hawley has given fans a glimpse at what’s next. Played by the titular Dan Stevens, the Marvel series focuses on the X-Men character David Haller and also stars Aubrey Plaza as Lenny/The Shadow King and Rachel Keller as his girlfriend, Syd. The FX show recently wrapped its first season, and creator Noah Hawley gave fans a teaser halfway through the end credits. "In terms of putting it as a post-credits sequence, I think there's a proud tradition of that on the Marvel features side," Noah Hawley said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. "It's the beginning of another thought. I wanted to give people the end song and the feeling of watching the credits, to let them absorb the complete story they just watched. And then I wanted to tease them as to what chapter two is going to be."

Marvel also announced a new look at another television project in the works, revealing a brand new logo for the upcoming series, Inhumans. The show is currently being filmed in Oahu, Hawai’i, with a release date of September 1st in IMAX theaters. Inhumans will air on ABC a few weeks after its exclusive IMAX release.
