Director Scott Stewart’s Legion takes place after God loses faith in mankind and sends a legion of angels to bring the apocalypse. It follows a group of strangers who, whilst stranded in a remote truck stop diner, discover they are also stuck with a waitress who is pregnant with the messiah. With the support of Archangel Michael (Paul Bettany) they become humanity’s last line of defence.

A handful of new images from the film have been released. Check them out after the jump.

Legion marks the first time Stewart has sat in the directors chair. His resume includes involvement with such movies as Iron Man, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, Superman Returns, Sin City, and Blade Runner (The Final Cut Version).
