Legion is being produced by Marvel TV in partnership with FX, it's not just a Fox show like the movies, same with the "Gifted" series that was announced, if that is your issue that won't be a problem.

From what I've heard, there seems to be a better relationship between Marvel and Fox in terms of the properties when it comes to TV, way more than in regards to film (which some people would describe the relationship as sour).

I feel like Fox are getting kinda desperate with their properties, since they currently still have X-Men and Fantastic Four, the only properties which Marvel doesn't have the film & TV rights for currently, and they are milking the former for all of its worth (much like what Sony tried to do when they still had Spider-Man exclusively). For the latter, considering how their last film was both a critical and financial failure, I hope it reverts back to Marvel as soon as possible, just so they can introduce Galactus and Doom (done properly this time) into the MCU. May seem inconceivable now, but so was the idea of Spider-Man returning back when The Amazing Spider-Man 2 came out, and before the Cap Civil War trailers came out.

For all the blame people put in Ike Pearlmutter, it seems the stuff he is in charge is still playing ball with Fox while the Disney controlled stuff isn't(cartoons, games, movies), it definitely seems they are building a relationship on the TV side(which is part of Marvel not Marvel studios). On the movies side I see people at Fox or at least the ones in charge of the movies saying they would like to work together, but then we see Kevin Feige saying it won't happen because they have enough characters to make new movies.

We can't criticize Fox for using the rights they bought, Fox got those rights before Disney owned Marvel, so we can't act like Fox should just give them the rights back when the X-men have been profitable(and like I said I haven't enjoyed the X-movies as much as the MCU ones). The Fantastic Four situation was ridiculous and it seems like that made Marvel and Fox relationship worse at the time(banning X-men and FF from games, cartoons, among other things), I believe it was said the contracts have a 10year clause, so we would have to wait 10 years since the last Fantastic Four movie for the rights to revert.
