Legion of Super-Heroes Trailer Brings Past and Future Heroes Together

During her time at the Academy, Kara and her fellow trainees, like Mon-El (Yuri Lowenthal), Timber Wolf (Robbie Daymond), and Phantom Girl (Gideon Adland) learn that the school is being invaded by a criminal group called the Dark Circle. With the original heavy hitter Legion members missing in action, stopping the Circle and saving the school falls to Kara and the rest of the students.

Kara doing a team-up with the Legion isn’t new territory; even setting aside the futuristic team appearing in Supergirl, both Superman (through the Legion of Superheroes cartoon from 2005) and his son Jon (in Brian Michael Bendis and Ryan Sook’s 2019 comics run) have spent time in the 31st Century. More recently, Young Justice: Phantoms also included some members of the team during its run. What’ll be interesting to see is what else is in the Legion’s future, and what steps James Gunn and Peter Safran will take to ensure we see more of these heroes going forward.

Legion of Super-Heroes will release on February 7, 2023.
