By the time the glacial publishing of books has squeezed into the busy schedule of sound bite releases and convention appearances, it might be next year before you see it.
That it has appeared as a possible teaser, does mean it's probably passed the committee of lowest possible denominators they have.
The little links I picked up around it were very positive about editorial changes made by DC in this rebirth. Slavishly so. I've just got the two issues of Electric Warriors to go on.

Hope springs eternal and all, but don't know that I'm buying this is part of a plan. Feels more like a wink from the artist:

Superman and the Legion of Super-Pets (sans Proty) in Scooby Apocalypse #34. (Also Atom Ant.)
Next time we have a DC/Marvel crossover, I want it to take place in the Hostessverse

In current Superman #7 (What Happened? Superboy's Lost Years) a 21st-century Grxyorian makes a cameo. No lines.

Doomsday Clock #9 is finally out and..
the Legion ring on the cover is Ferro Lad's thrown back through time by the explosion that killed him
Dr Manhattan claims that Ferro Lad was only a Legionnaire for a week before he died, so some more Legion history rewriting by Geoff Johns
"Our devotion to each other was unexplainable" "You were kids" "No Batman, we were Legion"

Also
Apparently the Legion doesn't exist anymore because Manhattan's meddling with time when he killed Alan Scott back in the 1940s wiped out their future.

I actually enjoyed the opening to Doomsday Clock. Although it's clear that the Doomsday Clock is the bringing back of both past and future of DCU. Fingers crossed!

Ok and we get a key scene of Legion history in the latest Doomsday Clock. But literally one scene.

I hope all this teasing is going to pay off for us. I'm tired of waiting! *sigh*

Key Legion scenes it's likely to be :-
Superboy joining.
RJ Brande assassination attempt.
That's it.
Actually, since the Brande scene is a retcon it just leaves the first one.

Okay so this is kinda sort of a Legion reference, but in Green Lantern #9 there are cameos by Luma Lynai, Marvel Maid, and Mon-El's Golden Age counterpart Halk Kar as part of the "United Planets Superwatch."

I would like to see this team make more appearances!

They might. They have an appearance at the beginning of the issue that feels like typical Morrison doing a prologue for a future arc.

Maxima! I'm thrilled that she's back! I first read the Justice League books when she was around. She definitely deserves to be in the company of such powers.

This has got to be like Maxima's fourth redesign since 2011.

United Planets? Just how long has it been in place in this new continuity? I got the feeling that the payoff of Electric Warriors was its formation.

Not so much a sighting as a reference. Event Leviathan #2 Plastic Man comes face to face with Leviathan who lists all the many teams PM has been a part of, finishing with "You have tried Everything, Patrick". PM responds "I also gave up carbs and said NO to the Legion of Substitute Heroes. So give me a little credit."

A Legionnaire will have a cameo in one of tomorrow's books. I just can't say which yet.
