  • Wonder Woman’s Saïd Taghmaoui will play Amahl Farouk in the second season.
  • Regarding a Professor X appearance, Noah Hawley says: “We’re working on it.” As to which actor: “whoever will do it.”  
  • Aubrey Plaza on unleashing Shadow King: “The most fun kind of work is figuring out how a psychopath moves around.“ 
  • Jean Smart on Melanie Bird : "She’s in love with a popsicle and hasn’t had sex in 20 years."

  • We will see a lot more of Melanie and Ptonomy’s pasts. 
  • Are Cary and Kerry siblings or parent-child? That’s a debate still between Bill Irwin and Amber Midthunder.
  • Aubrey Plaza wants to perform an in-character musical number to Ain’t Goin’ Down Til the Sun Comes Up by Garth Brooks.

someone: why do you like the xmen so much?? i mean they’re cool and all but so are the avengers

me internally: because the xmen are a group of oppressed people who are Constantly fighting for their survival and equality, while also fighting for all of mankind, the people who actively discriminate against them, when they really don’t have to (unlike the avengers who mainly spend their time fighting each other or not caring about mutants). Their story of oppression is relatable to those who deal with discrimination and oppression in real life, therefor making their story all the more compelling. Not to mention, the xmen stories have magneto who is one of the most interesting, complexing and captivating villain, (if you can even call him that), in the entire marvel universe.

me out loud: idk they have pretty cool powers
