DC Entertainment announced that its Arrow and Flash spin-off show has been greenlit by The CW. The show, which features a mix of secondary characters from both dramas (see "CW Plans 'Arrow'/'The Flash' Spinoff Show”), will be called DC’s Legends of Tomorrow.
The official show synopsis states: "When heroes alone are not enough... the world needs legends. Having seen the future, one he will desperately try to prevent from happening, time-traveling rogue Rip Hunter is tasked with assembling a disparate group of both heroes and villains to confront an unstoppable threat -- one in which not only is the planet at stake, but all of time itself. Can this ragtag team defeat an immortal threat unlike anything they have ever known?"
The series will feature The Atom/Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh), Captain Cold/Leonard Snart (Wentworth Miller), Dr. Martin Stein (Victor Garber), and Heatwave (Dominic Purcell). Actress Caity Lotz, who portrayed Sara Lance, the original Black Canary who was killed on Arrow, will also have a role.
Additional cast members include Arthur Darvill (Doctor Who) as Rip Hunter, Ciarra Renee as Kendra Saunders / Hawkgirl (see "Hawkgirl Cast for 'Arrow'/'The Flash' Spin-Off") and Franz Drameh (Attack the Block, Edge of Tomorrow) as Jay Jackson, an as-yet-unnamed hero role.
