This interview contains spoilers for Legion Season 3, episode 3, which aired on July 8 on FX.
We all have daddy issues, but David Haller might have the biggest of all. In its third and final season, FX’s Legion is doing what we weren’t sure it would ever do: giving us a young Professor Charles Xavier—David Haller’s father—on TV. It makes sense in the context of the story Noah Hawley is telling in his trippy adaptation, but we all know how the great big Marvel Machine works: none of that stuff is guaranteed for the small screen, particularly in the midst of the Disney-Fox merger (which is finally bringing the Fox-owned X-Men back to the Marvel Studios universe). But Legion is unique to Marvel TV in more ways than one, and about as far off the beaten Defenders/SHIELD path as you can get. So why not go for broke and throw a young Professor X into the final season?
