Downton Abbey fans can see Dan Stevens in a very different role to that of aristocrat Matthew Crawley as he takes on the lead in the latest TV drama based around a Marvel Comics character. Dan plays David Haller, aka Legion, the mutant son of X-Men character Dr Charles Xavier.

Diagnosed with schizophrenia at an early age, David has been a patient in various institutions and hospitals – until his life changes when he meets kindred spirit Syd Barrett (Rachel Keller), who helps him confront the possibility that the voices he hears and visions he sees may actually be real. Can he learn how to harness these powers?
