Trivia[]
- During a flashback in the shadow king mind, a wheelchair with an X symbol on it can be seen, implying that like in the comics, David is Charles Xavier's son.
- Charles Xavier's wheelchair can be seen in the backgroud as a nod to his identity as David's father in the comics. The production team went through the storage containing various wheelchairs from all the X-Men films before settling with the one from X-Men: Apocalypse.
- Dan Stevens spoke with his own accent for the scenes where he acted as David's British doppelgänger. According to Noah Hawley, it was Dan Stevens who suggested that David's "rational mind" should have a British accent. In addition to referencing Stevens' real-life nationality and David's parentage, it also pokes fun at the stereotypical notion of a British accent being associated with intelligence and sophistication.
- The battle between David's father and the Shadow King was adapted from X-Men Vol 1 #117. A version of it is later depicted in "Chapter 11", with footage from the chalkboard sequence being replayed in Farouk's sunglasses. In Marvel Comics canon, this event was what inspired Charles Xavier to form the X-Men.
