And this is a show about a mutant. So we'll just have to wait and see what wording they use to describe Legion in his press releases.

But yeah, I'm pretty sure this isn't MCU continuity either, or everyone would be buzzing about it by now. I mean, Most Wanted and Damage Control have less information about them and yet everyone knows they're coming and that they're MCU. Friend, assuming this does actually take place in the MCU, and Marvel Studios/20th Century Fox made a deal for that to happen, the Mutant trademark for Live-Action would probably be shared between both studios.

It is worth noting that Legion is actually being co- created by Marvel Television and Jeph Loeb, the same studio and writers who made the MCU productions such as Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Daredevil. Now, the idea of a Disney-owned studio making productions for a Fox based Cinematic Universe, is indeed a little bit strange, and the now the news Legion isn't going even be in that X-Men canon, even though he is pretty much always made as Xavier's son and part of a shared continuity?

It is not irrefutable proof of it going to be in the MCU, but it's definitely something to look at, what else would be the reason for all of this People from Marvel Studios were credited on Deadpool and we know that isn't MCU. This could just be a similar case.
