VIDEO : Legion Season 2 Casts Homeland Actor As Shadow King

Legion season 2 will see the Shadow King take on a new face; fans will get to meet Amahl Farouk (ahm-ALL fah-ROOK) himself, played by Homeland veteran Navid Negahban (nah-VEED NEH-gah-bahn). The first season of Noah Hawley?s Legion took us into the shattered psyche of David Haller, Charles Xavier?s powerful mutant son. Along the way, it introduced viewers to a classic X-Men villain ? the Shadow King. In season 1, this psychic entity was played by Aubrey Plaza, as the Shadow King was pretending to be an aspect of David?s mind. Now, the villain is loose in the world once again, and it seems he?s about to show his true face.
