Michael, along with some humans in a diner in the middle of nowhere, has to protect the messiah growing inside one of the diner’s waitress.”

Legion Movie Trailer

A movie trailer of Legion was shown during the comic con, and from what people report seeing Archangel Michael holding a knife and a machinegun, so the poster is the real deal we’re gonna see in the movie! Well, that would be the most badass angel ever! Bring it on! Let’s hope that this Legion movie trailer will be released soon for us all to enjoy it.
