The X-Men Universe is finally coming to the small screen with FX's upcoming series "Legion". The show will introduce "Beauty and the Beast" star Dan Stevens as David Haller, a man who turns out to be a powerful mutant. But given David's true parentage, some fans believe that another powerful mutant will have a cameo in the series. Will Charles Xavier show up to help his son control his powers in the Marvel show?
'Legion' TV Series Will Have Direct Connection To X-Men Universe! Charles Xavier Cameo Confirmed?
"Legion" is set to become more than just a psychological drama about a schizophrenic man. After all, David Haller's comic book storyline reveals him as the son of Charles Xavier who has inherited his father's telepathic powers. But is it possible that Professor X himself will be the direct connection between the FX series and the X-Men Cinematic Universe? Showrunner Noah Hawley admits that it would be impossible not to touch upon the subject without mentioning David's real father.
"There's a wheelchair in the first scene," Dan Stevens shared during the show's panel at the recent New York Comic-Con (via Comic Book Resources). However, the actor did not reveal whether Charles Xavier will actually show up in "Legion". Nevertheless, fans are speculating that Professor X could be an important character in the FX series.

Some also believe that Charles could be a part of a flashback to David's childhood although the young mutant grew up with his mother. "Legion" also stars Aubrey Plaza and is set to premiere on FX in early 2017.
