What did you expect? Yellow spandex? Bryan Singer’s “X-Men” series bore little resemblance to its comic book counterpart in terms of costuming, and FX’s “Legion” seems to be taking the same approach — albeit with a much more psychedelic angle. Copper-colored track-suits and and a combination of looks inspired by the 1960s to today have helped compliment the mind-bending world created by Noah Hawley.

In the featurette below, costume designer Carol Case and others describe the elements that went into designing the wardrobe for the “X-Men” adaptation. “There are modern elements obviously, then there are these out-of-times element,” Hawley says, “which seem like today or tomorrow or yesterday.”
“Wardrobe is just another one of those elements that brings everything together,” actress Aubrey Plaza says. “I don’t know what [Case] is doing over there. She’s like a mad scientist wardrobe lady.

Another superhero TV show, you say? It's true: FX's new marquee series Legion is based on a character from the X-Men universe, and it does come stamped with the Marvel Studios imprimatur. But trust us when we say this is no ordinary capes-and-costumes saga. The latest brainchild of Fargo showrunner Noah Hawley, this surreal side trip through Fox's mutantverse is far more reminiscent of the auteurist cinema of Stanley Kubrick or David Lynch than standard comic-book blockbuster fare. Fans expecting quippy one-liners and the usual let's-destroy-a-city-block-for-the-hell-of-it set pieces might be advised to look elsewhere.
