Perhaps the most unusual of these is Legion, an 8-episode series that stars Dan Stevens as a powerful mutant with multiple personality disorder. With Noah Hawley (of Fargo fame) as showrunner, it's proving to be one of the most promising and inventive superhero shows to date!

Marvel's 'Iron Fist' Writer Tapped for 'Runaways' — What Does This Tell Us About the Future of Marvel TV?
Just a month ago, we learned that #Marvel and Hulu are working together to bring Marvel's Runaways to life! The catch is, Marvel TV has a lot of projects in the works, and often they seem to go very quiet. We've not heard anything about Cloak and Dagger since April, for example, and Damage Control doesn't seem to have gotten off the ground. So Marvel fans know to keep their ears to the ground for news before they get too excited about a series.

Who Are Project Cadmus, The Main Villains Of 'Supergirl' Season 2?

Even The 'Divergent' Cast Won't Be Involved In The TV Show
2012's The Hunger Games set the ball rolling for a whole new range of Young Adult dystopian fiction — and one of the best, in my view, was 2014's Divergent. Unfortunately, the years haven't been kind to dystopian movies; while Divergent grossed $288 million at the box office, the third instalment — Allegiant — only grossed a disappointing $179 million. Going purely by the domestic box office takings, it didn't break even on its $110 million budget.

Does This Easter Egg Reveal 'Supergirl' Is Set In The Christopher Reeve Universe?
Two episodes in, and Season 2 of Supergirl is proving to be just as much a hit as the first season! The beautiful and brilliant Melissa Benoist has been joined by Tyler Hoechlin's Superman, and the two already stood up against the threat of Cadmus. But there may have been some subtle nods that transform the show's continuity - is it possible that the world of Supergirl is one we've visited before?
