‘Wonder Woman’ Star Saïd Taghmaoui Joins ‘Legion’ Cast

It was announced during SDCC that Saïd Taghmaoui (played Sameer on Wonder Woman) will be joining the cast of Marvel’s Legion as Amahl Farouk, a.k.a. the Shadow King.

In the comics, the Shadow King is an entity of energy which feeds on humanity’s hatred. It manifests itself by possessing human bodies, with its primary human manifestation being Amahl Farouk.

The announcement was made during the first-ever Legion panel at SDCC, which the entire principal cast attended.

During the panel, it was revealed that the next season will consist of 10 episodes and will debut early 2018. Creator of the show, Noah Hawley, hinted at a possible introduction of David Haller’s father, Professor X.
