SDCC 2017: Legion Showrunner Making Doctor Doom Film
Arguably one of the best comic book series that has come out recently is Legion. The tale of the son of Professor Xavier arrived on FX in grand fashion, and its first season stunned a lot of people with just how good it was. So, at San Diego Comic Con the cast and crew took the stage to talk about things involving Legion Season 02. For example, would Professor X ever show up? According to them, they’re working on it.
But, arguably the biggest news to come out of it was when showrunner and director Noah Hawley said this:
“Because I’m at Comic-Con, I wanted to let you know about a movie I’m developing for Fox. The first word is ‘Doctor.’ And the second is ‘Doom,'”
And then he left.
So yes, it appears a Doctor Doom film is at work at Fox. This is likely a response to the universal panning of Fantastic Four, which featured arguably the worst interpretation of Doctor Doom ever. And while fans may be skeptical of this, remember, it’s from the guy making Legion.
