Huesario.

Las posibilidades son interminables en una serie que se basa en los vaijes del tiempo, y "Legends Of Tomorrow" intenta sacar toda la ventaja de su fantástica premisa cuando el spinoff de la CW le haga una visita al Viejo Oeste en la segunda mitad se su primera temporada, donde el equipo se encontrará con nada menos que con el antihéroe 'Jonah Hex'.

“Desde que decidimos que ‘Legends’ involucraría el viaje en el tiempo, estábamos deseando el hacer una historia centrada en el Lejano Oeste,” dice el productor ejecutivo Marc Guggenheim. “Pero si vas a hacer una historia centrada en la versión de Oeste del Universo DC, simplemente TIENES que incluir a Jonah Hex en él. Estamos emocionados sobre el traer a otro conocido y querido personaje de DC a la televisión.”

Jonah Hex es un cazarrecompensas quien, a pesar de su aterradora apariencia llena de cicatrices, tiene un profundo código moral sobre el proteger al inocente. El personaje creado en los ’70s por el escritor John Albano y el artista Tony DeZuniga apareció por primera vez en All-Star Western #10 Vol. 2, y fue interpretado previamente en la película de acción del mismo nombre del 2010 por Josh Brolin, que se convirtió en una bomba de taquilla tras engrosar sólo $10.5 millones en USA después de tener un presupuesto de $47 millones. Hex rambién apareció en el corto animado “DC Showcase: Jonah Hex,” dirigido por Joaquim Dos Santos y escrito por Joe R. Lansdale, con la voz de Thomas Jane.

El cásting para el papel aún tiene que ser anunciado, pero hará su debut en el episodio 1.11 de la serie, con la posibilidad de convertirse en recurrente.

“DC’s Legends of Tomorrow,” está protagonizad por Victor Garber, Brandon Routh, Wentworth Miller, Caity Lotz, Arthur Darvill, Ciara Renée, Franz Drameh, Dominic Purcell y Falk Hentschel.

Wentworth Miller sobre el 'Capitán Cold' de "Legends Of Tomorrow·: “Instintivamente siento que es Pansexual”
Por Jim Halterman 13 Enero 2015

NewNowNext caught up with Wentworth Miller at the Television Critics Association winter press tour—an appropriate venue, as the out actor is about to make his debut as the chilly Captain Cold on Legends of Tomorrow .

Premiering January 21, the CW series features heroes and villains from the DC Comics universe fighting to save the universe from disasters across time and space.

Looking to break the ice, we asked the out actor to fill us in on Cold, who debuted on CW’s The Flash.

“What else is there besides the menace and the wisecracks?” he joked.

What about his sexuality?

“So far he seems to be presented as straight,” Miller explains. “I’d like to believe there are a couple extra layers to unpeel [and] I instinctively feel like he’s probably pansexual and just gets a hard-on for your soul.”

While Cold, a.k.a. Leonard Snart, popped up to cause trouble on Flash , we’ll see a different side of the character in Legends .

“What I’m enjoying is exploring why he’s a part of this [group] mission to begin with,” he explains.

“It starts out being all about stealing stuff, like ’Let’s go back in time—I’ve got my shopping list and there’s some really cool stuff I can make off with!’ I think the mission quickly becomes personal in a way that Snart did not expect.”

Still, Miller is determined to keep Captain Cold nasty: “I never want to see him wearing the pristine white hat.”

Legends of Tomorrow has a strong LGBT sensibility—besides Miller, there’s executive producer Greg Berlanti and co-star Victor Garber (as Martin Stein/Firestorm), as well as Caity Lotz, who plays bisexual Sara Lance.

“I never imagined we’d get so far so fast,” said Miller, who came out publicly in 2013. He admits the landscape has changed considerably for gay actors in a pretty short amount of time.

“Prison Break was 2005. That wasn’t so long ago but in a certain sense, culturally, it was decades ago.”

While there may have been a time when Miller was quiet about his sexuality, he told us, “I feel privileged to be a part of this TV conversation, because there are people who are going to watch [Legends] in parts of the country, or the world, where they don’t know anyone who’s LGBTQ—or they think they don’t.”

And he hopes he can open some closed minds.

“I’m coming into their living room every week, Victor Garber’s coming into their living room every week. I think that will naturally challenge them to hold a larger space for someone who is LGBTQ.”

Miller also hopes Legends of Tomorrow will speak to the young people who are still figuring out their sexuality. “There’s an automatic in, I think, for any LGBTQ boy or girl watching a show like this, because they inherently understand what it is to be different.”

Una de las series de TV basadas en DC va a hacer una reverencia a la venerable "Legion of Super-Heroes", según nos informa TVLine — ¿Pro cuál de ellas será?

Durante el pasado fin de semana en la Television Critics Association winter press tour en Pasadena, L.A., el jefe de DC Entertainment y escritor de cómics Geoff Johns compartió con los periodistas después del panel de "Legends" de la CW que, “Veréis una pista de la Legion en una de nuestras series.”

“Seguid viendo,” dijo, cuidadoso de no identificar de qué serie se tratará.

Johns escribió el episodio de la S8 de "Smallville" titulado “Legion” donde se introdujeron a los miembros del equipo 'Cosmic Boy', 'Saturn Girl' y 'Lightning Lad'.

La Legión podría ser apuntada muy lógicamente en la serie de la CBS "Supergirl", ya que tanto Superboy como Supermán han tenido que ver con el grupo en muchas encarnaciones. Pero también, está el elemento del viaje a través del tiempo de la Legion, lo que podría sugerir que la serie de "Legends of Tomorrow" podrían proporcionar un lugar para encajar muy orgánico.

Además de la sutil “pista” que está por llegar, Johns parecía preparado a que eventualmente se pudieran tener al algunos de los Legionarios en carne y hueso.

“Adoro a la Legion,” dijo. “Están infrautilizados y con suerte los tendremos ahí afuera pronto.”

Caity Lotz revela las escenas de acción que hará ella y cuáles no
Por Eliza Thompson 14 Enero, 2016

You might recognize Caity Lotz from her work on Arrow as Sara Lance, a role she'll reprise on DC's Legends of Tomorrow starting Jan. 21. But before then, you can catch her in Syfy Films' 400 Days (in theaters now and available on demand), a space movie that's not quite a space movie. Caity plays Emily, one of four would-be astronauts participating in an experiment to see how they'll react to confinement in a small spaceship for their 400-day mission. It doesn't take long for things to go awry, and before long Emily and her companions aren't sure whether the experiment is reality, a hallucination, or something far worse. Caity recently spoke to Cosmopolitan.com about whether or not she'd really go to space and what Canary fans can expect from Legends' new White Canary.

How do you feel about space in real life? Would you ever go if you had the chance?
If you want to be a great explorer or discoverer, you've got to go into space. That's really the new world. Would I want to do that? I don't like the idea of those Mars missions where they're like, "You're going to go and colonize and never come back, so everybody you ever knew and loved is gone to you." But I would love to go into space and come back! I'd go; I'd love to see it. I imagine it would be just breathtakingly beautiful, but for now, I would settle to go into a zero-gravity thing. That would also satisfy a lot of my space desires.

Yeah, then you wouldn't have to worry about 40 years going by at light speed.
Or dying. I think the percentage of something catastrophic happening if you were going into space is like 30 percent.

You've also got Legends of Tomorrow premiering this month. How does White Canary differ from the Canary we know from Arrow?
Well, she's still Sara Lance. I think Sara the White Canary now has more fun moments. There's a little more humor in her. Sara always has that kind of darkness looming over her, which makes a complicated, interesting character — that wounded, reluctant hero [thing] that I love about her. But she also in this show gets some really fun moments, like she smokes weed. She gets to say some funny lines and relax a little bit.

There's also going to be time travel, right?
We're traveling through time and through space. It's really cool, and it's so fun because every time we get a new episode, we'll be like, "Oh my god, we're going to the '50s!" Or we'll be like, "Oh, crap, we're going to '80s Soviet Russia." All over. And the different costume changes are really fun, like I really loved all my '70s looks. I got to wear some cool stuff.

How secretive are the writers about future plots?
We've actually been fighting with them to give us more information because they do this thing where the actors are the last to know. Hair and makeup will have synopses and early versions of the next episodes, and we don't get them until it's a production draft. Now we get earlier drafts. You want to know where your character is going — like if you have a love interest, is this going to be a one-time thing? Or is this person going to be the love of my life? You want to see where they're going with this. So we finally got that!

How many of your own stunts do you do?
All of the fighting I pretty much do. I have an awesome [stunt] double, too, so for taking falls or getting hit or being thrown across the room or something, I'm like, "Yeah, you go ahead. You do that one." It's dangerous. You have to jump through glass. When people jump through glass, someone has to press a button and it shatters the glass, but you're supposed to hit it slightly first and then shatter it right away, but if it [it's not timed right] you can really get hurt. Also, you're going to get cut even though it's [fake], you still end up with cuts, so there are definitely times when I need the double.

But for the fighting stuff, it's mostly me. I trained in martial arts before I even started acting. I was a dancer, and then I was almost maybe going to do stunts. And before the show, I started training with this guy Dan Inosanto, who's a living legend ... It's been so helpful because we move so fast here, we don't have time for rehearsals. I have to learn some of the stuff on the day, so it's good to have that build-up of all the vocabulary already.

What's the worst injury you've ever gotten while filming Arrow or Legends of Tomorrow?
I'm knocking on wood right now, but I haven't. Even in all my years as a b-girl, break-dancing, parkour, the only thing is I messed up my knee. I had knee surgery, but that was over years of abuse of my body. Now I've learned to be kind to myself, whereas before I thought I was tough getting bruises all over and flipping on the pavement. Now I'm like, "I'm going to be gentle and kind to my body, and love it, and thank it for doing all these nice things for me."

And what's the hardest move you've ever done on screen?
A corkscrew. It's a flip where you run forward and you do a backflip. So you're moving forward and you do a backflip backwards, and you do a full twist in it. I did that, and it never aired! It never even came out, but it was definitely the coolest move I ever got on camera. I don't try to do that stuff anymore. I don't want to break my face.

Hablando de Spoilers con el productor ejecutivo Phil Klemmer
Por Craig Byrne 15 Enero, 2016

The series premiere DC’s Legends of Tomorrow is only six days away, premiering Thursday, January 21 on The CW. The show, a spin-off featuring characters from Arrow and The Flash, sees a group of superheroes and supervillains traveling through time to defeat the villainous Vandal Savage. Time Master Rip Hunter assembles these Legends, taking them in his ship, the Waverider.

At the recent TCA Press Tour in Pasadena, CA, we sat down with the show’s Executive Producer, Phil Klemmer, and instead of having him detail what the show will be about, we focused more on trying to get spoilers out of him. It’s up to you, the reader, to decide on whether or not we were successful. Enjoy, and be aware spoilers are being discussed.

KSITETV’s CRAIG BYRNE: In November’s Flash and Arrow crossover, it appeared that Malcolm Merlyn (John Barrowman) had something to do with bringing Vandal Savage back to the land of the living. Will we see any of “what happened next” on Legends at any point?

PHIL KLEMMER: I think before this season is over, we would very much like to go back to that moment. If not that exact moment… we spend a lot of times jumping around in the past and future, and before the battle is over, we would like our Legends to get back to their own time.

The Waverider set had things like Sandman’s gas mask, the Jonah Hex Wanted poster, and Sgt. Rock’s helmet. Might we see any of them?

I’ve been told not to spoil certain things…. I will say they’re not there by accident, and I will say that those clues will bear fruit in the next episode that we are going to produce. [EDITOR’S NOTE: It has since been announced that Jonah Hex will appear in an episode set in the Wild West.]

We will see major DC characters from different eras in the series?

Yeah.

What can you tell us about Jewel Staite’s character?

She’s related to one of our heroes. We will find that she’s not a person off the street. We are going into the most distant future that we will be visiting, and we will find that she is the biological result of something that one of our characters either directly or indirectly did before their recruitment in the pilot, in 2016. As we know, when we pull our characters out of the timeline, they cease to have an effect on the future, but this will be a sort of Ghost of Christmas Future where somebody will realize that something that they did before they left had a butterfly effect on the future that will effectively — they will have aided and abetted Vandal Savage’s rise to power.

So she’s playing Scandal Savage?

No. That’s a good pitch, though!

Is Scandal Savage a character we might be seeing on the series?

I don’t think we’ll see her in this season, but there have been a number of Scandal Savage pitches that have been on the table at one time or another. I just don’t know if we’re going to have room for her.

You’ve said “this is as far in the future as we’re going.” Does that mean they’re not going to go to the 31st century to see the Legion of Super-Heroes, or anything like that?

We start at 2166 as our “Second Blitz of London.” That will be the point which we will never pass in Season One.

Characters who are dead in the Arrow universe, like Tommy Merlyn or the Queens… might we see any of them on Legends of Tomorrow? I know we will see Ra’s al Ghul.

We haven’t had plans to see them yet, but we do have plans to visit Star City in the fairly distant future, to see the consequences of the removal of our Legends from their own timelines. We will get a Ghost of Christmas Future in Star City. But we do not have plans as of yet to see any of the dead Queens or Tommy, no.

Is that in a particular episode, and does it have a title?

That episode is number 6, and it’s called “Star City 2146.”

Will Sara (Caity Lotz) ever be reunited with Nyssa (Katrina Law) on this series?

Geographically, they’ll come close; but temporally, there will be something in the way of that.

Can you tease anything about Carlos Valdes’ appearance on Legends of Tomorrow?

You’re going to see it very soon. It happens in Episode 4. I don’t know if I can really tease it without giving away the good bit.

Ray Palmer mentions in the Legends of Tomorrow pilot that no one really cared when he died, but they did name a city after him. Is he aware of that?

You know, most people would be satisfied by that, but I think Ray is a Steve Jobs sort of guy who wanted to change the world for the better, and I think he would take that as a bit of a bit of a “booby prize,” sort of like a pity gesture. I don’t think just seeing his name on the “Welcome to Star City, population XXX”… that doesn’t scratch his ambition.

Is there a particular character on Arrow or Flash that you’d like to be able to use at some point, but you haven’t yet?

I like the idea of returning to the pre-Arrow or pre-Flash [days]. A show in which we could see, like, Grant [Gustin] as the nerdy CSI. I like seeing the pre-heroic versions of our people. It’s too bad they have those two pesky shows that they have to work on Monday through Friday.

How do you feel about The CW giving you one of their best time slots (Thursday at 8PM ET/PT)?

It’s crazy. It’s the sort of thing you don’t really think about until it’s already happened, and then you have a moment of being like “Oh my God. Thank God it worked out like that.” You almost can’t even entertain those thoughts, because you have so many day to day [duties], that it’s kind of a mercy that you don’t allow yourself to see this grand chess board. But then when you see Thursday night and 8 and you’re like “Damn. What if it hadn’t been that way?” All this work could have not had the chance that we all think it deserves. And, man. Bless them for giving it to us.

Marc Guggenheim tweeted out the title page for an episode with the title “Night of the Hawk.” Can you tease anything about what that title might mean?

Joe Dante’s the director, and if you’re a Gremlins fan and Amblin 80’s television fan, you’ll know how much Spielberg and company loved to live in to that post-war America. We are doing our sort of homage to the Fifties drive-in genre picture. Because if you have Joe Dante as the director… I think “Night of the Hawk” feels evocative of a Roger Corman movie, and that’s not a coincidence.

Is that the episode where Sara meets a homemaker love interest?

Yeah. We find that even in America at “it’s post-war height,” where everything was perfect with picket fences and Leave it to Beaver and Andy Griffith, we want to take the air out of that version of “America was so great.” We want to find the skeletons that were lurking in the closet.

What are you most excited for fans to see on January 21?

I am really excited for people to get aboard the Waverider. Not since Star Trek has there been a network television show where the standing set and the home base is a spaceship. For a kid who grew up on Lost in Space and Star Trek, to introduce a new generation of television viewers to space-based, time-travel-based sci-fi is real exciting. It’s long overdue. I’m really proud of it.

Ciara Renée lista para volar como 'Hawkgirl'
Por Scott Huver, 15 Enero 2016

Ciara Renée earned her wings as "The Flash" and "Arrow," but it's on the spinoff "DC's Legends of Tomorrow" that she hopes Hawkgirl has a chance to soar.

Playing barista-turned-winged crusader Kendra Saunders, the current reincarnation of ancient Egyptian priestess Chay-Ara, the actress stands at the center of The CW's new DC Comics-inspired series: The primary villain of the time-travel adventure is the immortal Vandal Savage, who centuries ago murdered Chay-Ara and her lover Prince Khufu, which makes the stakes personal for Hawkgirl and her will-they-again/won't-they partner Hawkman.

With Kendra's introduction in the first season of "The Flash" already feeling like a lifetime ago, Renée is ready to explore Hawkgirl in all her varied incarnations, as she reveals in a conversation with CBR News.

BR News: What's been the intriguing challenge for you in "Legends of Tomorrow," as opposed to what you started with for Kendra on "The Flash" and "Arrow"? How has it broken open for you?

Ciara Renée: Well, on “Legends,” I mean, I feel like everything -- it is kind of her storyline, so there's a lot of weight put on her and a lot of pressure, I think. And now she has a lot more knowledge than she started off with. She's gone through more traumatic experiences moving forward. There's a little more gravity now and importance to what she's doing.

That's also juxtaposed against the warm, nurturing, protective part of her that wants to see the good, wants to be hopeful that changing her destiny is a possibility and protecting people is a possibility. Yeah, that's been kind of the dichotomy of who she is now: who she used to be in all these other lives, and what she has to do is a little cray!

You have that opportunity to have her grow as a character, but then you also as an actor get the opportunity to play her in different eras and different versions of her at any given time. Has that been kind of a treat for you, to keep rethinking her in different contexts?

Yeah, especially in the flashbacks and stuff like that. Completely different versions of who she was. In Egypt, she was this high priestess, very powerful and grounded. Kendra is just kind of, like I said, a nurturer. She's kind of all over the place. She's young, she doesn't know what she's doing, she's scared. Yeah, it's been really interesting and a cool actor challenge to rethink these new versions of yourself.

Central to your storyline is the relationship with Falk Hentschel's character, Hawkman. Tell me about finding the chemistry you needed to have, both in the scenes when you're passionate lovers, and in the more contemporary stuff where you're at odds and bickering and figuring each other out.

The thing is, it's exactly the same! It's the exact same emotion. It's just different words and different scenarios. Actually, we were just talking: When we first had a conversation with each other via text, it was a long conversation. We delved right into politics and feminism and this and that and all sorts of other things.

Right from the beginning we really respected each other, but also we were butting heads just right from the beginning. So as humans, we really love and respect each other, but we just already were bickering. So it's kind of perfect.

You got to spend some time with some other characters on some other shows. I have to ask, is poor Cisco [from "The Flash"] off the table for her?

[Laughs] Nothing's ever really off the table in the show. I think that was a good starting point for her. He really helped her a lot where she was and feeling like she had a place to be grounded. She was kind of just floating, didn't know what she wanted to do with her life or where she needed to be. Yeah, he was really helpful in that time, but I think she's gone through so much and changed so much and is probably going to continue to change in a way that maybe they don't sync up quite like they used to.

The show's going to mix and match the characters in smaller combinations and you're going to be put up against different members of the cast. So far, where have you seen real sparks flying with your interactions?

I think she's been surprised a lot, because being a bit of an outlier in this group with a slightly different background and story than everyone else who's accepted in who they are, I think she's been wary and a little bit like, "I don't know where I'm going to fit." I think she's been surprised a lot that she does get along with certain people that she gets along with.

I think for the most part, it's congenial -- until it gets to like our villains, our resident villains. We're supposed to also be heroes. I think she's super-wary of them and has a hard time finding the good there.

What's your sense of where she fits in the group dynamic? Do you have a notion?

I think she's still figuring it out. I think we're all constantly figuring out what the dynamic is and it shifts constantly who's in charge. Who has the skill set for this or that or the other thing. So yeah, it's an ever-shifting group. It never really just sets where Rip [Hunter] is always at the top and everyone else is. … It's not really like that. It's an amoeba. It's moving around.

Is she at this point already very far removed from the barista that we met in Central City?

Yeah, I think so. I think, yeah. We get a couple episodes in and enough stuff happens and you're like, "OK, that doesn't mean anything to me. I don't know that it ever really did. It was kind of just a placeholder." I think she always knew that there was something else. She just had no idea what it was. Now that she does know, all that other stuff where she was just kind of keeping time, that doesn't really matter to her.

What did it mean for you to go through the experience being part of the show and having instant fans before they saw a second of you on the screen? You probably had another couple hundred Twitter followers and people just paying attention to you as soon as you got the job. That's an unusual thing, I would imagine.

Yeah, it's something you have to navigate every day. There were instant fans, but there were also instant haters. So it's a double-edged sword. You get kind of both things. So yeah, I think it's fun to interact with the fans. It's fun to hear their ideas about what's going to happen or what they hope would happen. It's like a wealth of other information and knowledge about comic books.

They're always sharing things with me. Someone sent me a bunch of screenshots of some original Hawkman/Hawkgirl stuff, which is cool; they're very supportive. The ones that aren't are also helpful in a way, too. Like when people at the very beginning said, "Oh, well, she's brown. She can't play Shayera." That doesn't make any sense. It helped me to feel more rooted in what I was doing because, actually, here are the reasons why it could be this or why it should be this, and why not? So yeah, I think it's been great.

Have the haters come around – and told you so on social media?

Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Absolutely. Yeah.

What was the fun for you of delving into the character as she existed in the comic books and looking at things and saying, "I'm going to pick up this a little bit," or "I liked this image and I hope I get to do that"?

Yeah, the thing that's interesting is that the writers have been pretty clear about wanting to pick and choose what they want from the storylines. Who knows if she'll be an alien at some point? So far, we just see the Egyptian reincarnation storyline. We get to pick which characters we show, if we show a Wild West version. Reading, you get to see all these snippets of these different versions -- even we're kind of taking from the New 52 version of her.

I don't know if we're ever going to get into the idea that she tried to kill herself. Who knows? There's all sorts of different things we can choose from. So as much as I try to bone up and read as much as I can, I can't really pin down any specific things. I can throw out and say, "What do you think about this?" But I mean, ultimately, they have a plan, some kind of plan, to pick and choose what they want in me.

The costume looks very dynamic on the comic book page, but I can't imagine it's the easiest thing to pull of in real life. Tell me about, that love/hate relationship with making that costume work.

I mean, it's been a process. I've talked to Grant [Gustin] and I've talked to Stephen [Amell] and everyone else who has had a supersuit and has one. You start one way and you kind of, "Oh, well, I can't kick as high as I need to in this, so maybe we need to fix that thing or put more Spandex here." So it's constantly growing and moving and changing. But I always just say, "I'd rather wear no clothes." So wearing a lot of clothes is never really comfortable for me.

So far, she's Hawkgirl. Do you want to see her become Hawkwoman, or are you happy with her as Hawkgirl for the foreseeable future?

I'm not mad about her being Hawkgirl, but either way, I think just the fact that she's female is very powerful. I don't think she has to be "-lady" or "-woman" or "-girl" specifically in any way. She just has to be and it's already so empowering and wonderful that she's a female superhero.

Wentworth Miller sobre si el 'Capitán Cold' es un héroe
Por Terri Schwartz 16 Enero 2016

When Wentworth Miller made his debut as Leonard Snart on The Flash in 2014, he had no idea that he one day would be starring as a lead in his own DC universe series on The CW.

He came on for one guest spot to play a villain dubbed Captain Cold, and then that appearance turned into more. Before he knew it, executive producers Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim, Andrew Kreisberg and Phil Klemmer were offering him a role in DC's Legends of Tomorrow, which premieres on January 21st.

"There was no script, but I said, 'I'm in, regardless' and was committed to Legends before I saw a single page," Miller admitted to IGN. "It was a lovely surprise to find so much meat on the bone."

Instead of playing a villain like he has on The Flash (though he was called out for doing a pretty shoddy job of being an antagonist in that series' midseason finale), Miller is turning Snart into something of a hero on Legends of Tomorrow. Captain Cold joins fellow Arrow/The Flash alums Heat Wave (Dominic Purcell), Martin Stein (Victor Garber), Sara Lance (Caity Lotz), Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh), Hawkgirl (Ciara Renee), Jax Jackson (Franz Drameh) and Hawkman (Falk Hentschel) who are brought together as a team by time traveler Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) to stop the villainous Vandal Savage (Casper Crump) from destroying the world.

Miller would argue Snart isn't out to be a hero, but that doesn't stop the character from evolving as early as in the series' two-hour premiere. Continue reading for IGN's full interview with Miller as he discusses bringing more levity to Captain Cold, what it will take for Snart to step up and why he has a chip on his shoulder about Rip Hunter -- plus, what he hopes will come of an eventual return to The Flash.

IGN: It's interesting to see Snart get a bit of the Hero's Journey after being the villain that we love to love on Flash and Arrow. What was it like taking him on that journey and what, if any, major character changes and personality changes you'd like to see him have at the end of this?

Wentworth Miller: I'm not sure at the outset Snart has latched onto the promise of "hero." I think he's intrigued by the idea of "legend." [Laughs] It probably seems more available to him. I think he may judge himself as a man with a certain kind of past, a certain record, and maybe hero status is not for him. Maybe he's not worthy. However, through the course of his experience time traveling and working with Rip and the others, he starts to connect, build relationships, bond unexpectedly, and grows and changes as a result. I hope he always holds onto his edge, his darkness and his humor, but we do start to see him sit more squarely in his shades of gray.

IGN: What do you think about bringing some lighter elements into his character?

Miller: I think it's necessary when you're dealing with a dark show that has explosion and violence to have defined moments of lightness and humor, even romance. It's important, and it deepens the character, of course. I think ultimately that's why the audience will tune in longterm, for the characters and the relationships.

IGN: Were you one of the actors that Greg and Andrew promised to get your own show when you originally came on board the Flash and Arrow universe?

Miller: No. I had my one guest star on The Flash, and that became several guest stars, and then they mentioned this new show. There was no script, but I said, "I'm in, regardless" and was committed to Legends before I saw a single page. It was a lovely surprise to find so much meat on the bone.

By Terri Schwartz When Wentworth Miller made his debut as Leonard Snart on The Flash in 2014, he had no idea that he one day would be starring as a lead in his own DC universe series on The CW.

He came on for one guest spot to play a villain dubbed Captain Cold, and then that appearance turned into more. Before he knew it, executive producers Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim, Andrew Kreisberg and Phil Klemmer were offering him a role in DC's Legends of Tomorrow, which premieres on January 21st.

"There was no script, but I said, 'I'm in, regardless' and was committed to Legends before I saw a single page," Miller admitted to IGN. "It was a lovely surprise to find so much meat on the bone."

Instead of playing a villain like he has on The Flash (though he was called out for doing a pretty shoddy job of being an antagonist in that series' midseason finale), Miller is turning Snart into something of a hero on Legends of Tomorrow. Captain Cold joins fellow Arrow/The Flash alums Heat Wave (Dominic Purcell), Martin Stein (Victor Garber), Sara Lance (Caity Lotz), Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh), Hawkgirl (Ciara Renee), Jax Jackson (Franz Drameh) and Hawkman (Falk Hentschel) who are brought together as a team by time traveler Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) to stop the villainous Vandal Savage (Casper Crump) from destroying the world.

Miller would argue Snart isn't out to be a hero, but that doesn't stop the character from evolving as early as in the series' two-hour premiere. Continue reading for IGN's full interview with Miller as he discusses bringing more levity to Captain Cold, what it will take for Snart to step up and why he has a chip on his shoulder about Rip Hunter -- plus, what he hopes will come of an eventual return to The Flash.


IGN: It's interesting to see Snart get a bit of the Hero's Journey after being the villain that we love to love on Flash and Arrow. What was it like taking him on that journey and what, if any, major character changes and personality changes you'd like to see him have at the end of this?

Wentworth Miller: I'm not sure at the outset Snart has latched onto the promise of "hero." I think he's intrigued by the idea of "legend." [Laughs] It probably seems more available to him. I think he may judge himself as a man with a certain kind of past, a certain record, and maybe hero status is not for him. Maybe he's not worthy. However, through the course of his experience time traveling and working with Rip and the others, he starts to connect, build relationships, bond unexpectedly, and grows and changes as a result. I hope he always holds onto his edge, his darkness and his humor, but we do start to see him sit more squarely in his shades of gray.

IGN: What do you think about bringing some lighter elements into his character?

Miller: I think it's necessary when you're dealing with a dark show that has explosion and violence to have defined moments of lightness and humor, even romance. It's important, and it deepens the character, of course. I think ultimately that's why the audience will tune in longterm, for the characters and the relationships.

IGN: Were you one of the actors that Greg and Andrew promised to get your own show when you originally came on board the Flash and Arrow universe?

Miller: No. I had my one guest star on The Flash, and that became several guest stars, and then they mentioned this new show. There was no script, but I said, "I'm in, regardless" and was committed to Legends before I saw a single page. It was a lovely surprise to find so much meat on the bone.

IGN: What do you think people who maybe don't watch Arrow or The Flash are going to get if they come to this show singularly?

Miller: I don't think you need to watch Arrow and Flash to appreciate what it is Legends has to offer. The beauty of this show -- and they do this on Flash, and they did this on Arrow -- is that we do spend time on character. We do spend time on backstory. We do take a moment in between the sci-fi special effects to tell you who these people are, so that when something happens to them, you actually care.

IGN: Was there one particular time period you had the most fun with? We've only seen the '70s so far, but that trailer teases some other ones.

Miller: Nothing I can spoil for you, probably, but I have my own personal wish list -- which is different from Snart's wish list. I think Snart has a shopping list. [Laughs] Certain items throughout history that he wouldn't mind possessing, and that's one of the cool things about his journey, is that he goes into it for completely selfish reasons. He doesn't particularly care about Savage. He doesn't particularly care about saving humanity. He's in it to steal stuff. But then he is surprised by this personal relationship that develops between himself and Savage. Because Snart is a team player in that he's protective of his team. So when Savage starts going after us and wounding us and kicking ass, then Snart has to step up and address this adversary in a much more serious fashion.

IGN: That's interesting. That's not something I would necessarily expect of him. Did you know that was in him all along?

Miller: I thought of Snart as the guy calling the shots and he's a team player in that he has a team and everyone has to do what he says. I did not take it as far as, "If you come for someone on my team, I will in turn come for you." But that is the dynamic, and that's been a lot of fun to explore.

IGN: How does his sister Lisa feel about being left behind?

Miller: [Laughs] I'd like to see more of her, certainly -- and it was certainly add something to my character to see where he's vulnerable, where he's got a softer side. But with the relationships that he starts developing with White Canary's character and Rip's character and Professor Stein, there are other people, suddenly, that Snart is finding himself caring about and having to care for -- which puts him in an increasingly vulnerable and uncomfortable position, because he's used to looking out solely for himself.

IGN: I'm looking forward to seeing how your performance reflects that. Just like when the Flash called him out on being a terrible villain in the Christmas episode, I can imagine that making him really uncomfortable.

Miller: Right, right. Well, there's been a nice arc on The Flash in that regard. There was a question on the panel about, "Is there a change in tone between that show and this show?" As a character who started on The Flash and now am on Legends, it's not for me a change of tone so much as expectation. On Flash, I thought of myself as a spice character; come in, do a little dance, and I go. Legends, you spend a lot more time with me. So the question becomes, "Well, what else is there? What else do we get to see about Snart that adds to the whole, rather than takes away from it?" You know, he's kind of got a cool, mysterious edge to him. I never want to see that go away -- so I want to add to it, supplement it.

IGN: After Legends of Tomorrow: Season 1 ends and there's an opportunity, maybe, for you to return to The Flash or Arrow, is there any one character in that universe you would love to interact with first, with this new version of your character?

Miller: Hmm. Well, I'd like to go back and revisit the Flash/Captain Cold relationship, because that to me has been the heart of it all along. My impression is that The Flash is a show about a boy's journey into manhood. For the Flash character, there is a variety of male models presented to him, and Captain Cold is one of them. You make a series of choices; this is what you can expect. But on Legends, Snart is discovering that there is the possibility of change. There is the possibility of redemption. You can have led a certain life up to a certain point and change. Change is possible. So to go back to the Flash universe and present that too to Grant's character would be really interesting.

IGN: I love how he's sort of played a little bit like an ally in previous things. Like, there's a little bit where they can call him, but I would love to see that be part of the show, where like, "Oh, we need help with something. Maybe this is the person who we need to help us."

Miller: Right. Well, I think that's the beauty of the current setup, is that Legends is meant to be a bit of a revolving door. The cast that was sitting on that stage today may not be the cast that's sitting there next year. But by virtue of the fact that we've got three shows, all of which overlap, I could leave Legends of Tomorrow and secretly come back in some other capacity on Flash or Arrow.

IGN: How do you conceive the show moving forward if there was a Season 2 or Season 3?

Miller: That's a great question. My understanding is that Vandal Savage is our supervillain for this season. I don't know if that will overlap into a Season 2, but I do know that these characters have to change, and that's going to be exciting to see, because they're pursuing this incredibly noble cause, but, en route, are committing crimes, are screwing stuff up, and that question of a good man trying to accomplish good but having to get his hands dirty, once he's got his hands dirty, is he still a good man? So I love the idea, off the top of my head, of one of us, one of the current team as the supervillain that everyone has to take down in Season 2.

IGN: Ooooh!

Miller: I don't know if that how it will go down. This is completely in my own head, but one thing about glad about, particularly with Rip's character, visa vis Snart, is that I think Snart looks at him suspiciously. Not only is this guy calling himself "Captain" -- that's a point of contention [Laughs] -- but he also sees that there's more to Rip than meets the eye. I think Snart's ongoing question is, "What is this man willing to sacrifice? Who is this man willing to sacrifice in order to get the job done?

IGN: Rip is one of the characters we don't know too much about. Even though we've met Hawkgirl and Hawkman, we still don't know too much about them. So of these newcomers to the DC Universe on TV, is there anyone who you think is just going to surprise fans or do something different?

Miller: Well, they're all new to me, so... [Laughs] I am constantly being surprised. Everyone is so great, and everyone's got a fully fleshed-out, multidimensional character. I'm particularly intrigued by Sarah Lance's journey. She's clearly badass, but she's also got a code. You can see her moral struggle, and that's a model for Snart, because he's got his own code. He's got his own struggle. So I think he's focused on her for a variety of reasons.

Los héroes de Arrow/Flash no se preocuparán sobre Sara, Firestorm, u otros miembros 'desaparecidos' de "Legends"
Por Matt Webb Mitovich / 17 Enero 2016, 1:41 PM PST

Although their plan is to only be “gone” for a hot second, the heroes and villains who form DC’s Legends of Tomorrow will be missing in action from Arrow and The Flash for the foreseeable future.

Thus far, both Firestorm (comprised of Professor Stein and “Jax” Jackson, who are off learning to be a team) and Kendra Saunders/Hawkgirl (who kissed Cisco goodbye to explore a future with longtime lover Carter Hall/Hawkman) have already been written off of The Flash, so their absences are accounted for. And in the Legends premiere, Arrow‘s Oliver and Laurel are respectively apprised of Ray and Sara’s far-out new lot in life.

But Team Flash theoretically should notice that the criminal coupling of Captain Cold and Heat Wave has hit a cold spell, or get to wondering what’s taking Firestorm 2.0 so long to get its act together.

Executive producer Greg Berlanti acknowledges that — as one character even notes in the Legends pilot — “If it all goes as planned,” after the unlikely allies are done helping time traveler Rip Hunter find and vanquish Vandal Savage, they will be returned to the precise time they left, and thus won’t ever go “missing.” But you know what they say about best laid plans, God laughing and such.

“They’re supposed to be coming back to when they left, but obviously that ain’t gonna happen!” Berlanti tells TVLine with a laugh. (After all, to do so would be to spoil who eventually survives the hunt for Savage.)

But neither will any conspicuous-ish absences be noticed or mentioned on-screen, on either Arrow or The Flash. Says Berlanti, “We haven’t done it as of yet,” at least through the 18th episode of each series’ current season.

That Legends debuts at midseason (specifically, this Thursday, Jan. 21 at 8/7c) makes smoothing over the eight characters’ absences a smidgen easier.

“Were all the shows to have started at the same time [in the fall], that would be something we spend a lot of brainpower thinking about — like, how and when might we figure out ways to intersect some of these characters,” Berlanti says. “But they’re off on their mission, [away] from the timeline as our [Arrow/Flash] characters are experiencing it right now.”

Legends of Tomorrow: Entrevista a Brandon Routh
Por Fred Topel 18/01/16 8:04AM

Legends of Tomorrow finally arrives on the CW this week, marking the latest evolution in Brandon Routh's superheroic acting career. When Routh's Ray Palmer was introduced during Arrow season 3, there was almost immediately talk of a spinoff. This eventually became Legends of Tomorrow, a show which boasts an eclectic mix of heroes and villains including White Canary (Caity Lotz), Captain Cold (Wentworth Miller), Heatwave (Dominic Purcell), Hawkgirl (Ciara Renee), Hawkman (Falk Hentschel) and Firestorm (Victor Garber and Franz Drameh).

We had a chance to sit down with Mr. Routh to discuss Ray Palmer, and more.

Did Ray’s absence on Arrow coincide with shooting the beginning of Legends of Tomorrow?

Yes. In mostly challenging ways. A challenge to schedule all of that and shoot both shows concurrently, but we did it.

Did going back and forth like that also make the tonal differences more jarring?

They’re not really jarring because Ray is pretty much Ray wherever he goes.

What was nice was to be able to do a couple of final scenes with Emily and close up the relationship with Felicity a little bit. It was really refreshing to have those scenes because they’re longer scenes without things crashing and exploding and having to save the world. We’re actually able to have a nice long conversation, so it was nice to have a couple days of shooting in the mix of all the craziness and explosion of Legends.

So you really feel Ray is the same even if the show around him has a different tone?

Yeah, I mean, I would say there’s even more room to go higher, more levity and a little bit bigger on Legends to a degree, from Arrow. I would say the same level of humor that I would be able to do on Flash I can do on Legends.

Are the mechanics of Legends different, because as many characters as there were on Arrow, there’s even more here?

Yes, definitely. It’s a different way of shooting. It’s a different energy of scenes. From just a technical perspective, it takes a lot longer to shoot eight people in a scene. Even if it’s a one page scene it takes a lot longer than two people in a scene. Everybody chimes in and has a couple lines and we go on.

The demands are different but it’s good. It makes our show unique.

Is there a nobility Ray has?

I think so. I think that’s a core of who he is, is being noble. Upholding the rules for the most part, the humanity and giving everyone respect.

He’s able to do that on a bigger scope in some ways which is why he’s excited about taking the journey to become a legend because he’s not as much at the bottom. He’s at the top looking down as far as being able to change the world in a positive way.

Is there something from the comics that you like that you haven’t been able to work into Ray yet, and maybe you’ll get a chance to on Legends?

The Sword of The Atom series was fun. I’ve read that. I don’t want that I want Ray to be powerless and have a sword but I’d like Ray to have a sword and have a piece of that be in a storyline at some point.

I’d like to get more into the science of how the suit works, because we don’t really spend a lot of time on it because things are blowing up and exploding. It’s probably maybe not that exciting but I like that type of aspect of wanting to know how it works and geek out about that a little bit more than we do.

Is Palmer Technologies left in good hands?

Well, we see in Arrow it’s kind of not great as far as its treasury is concerned. I think Ray definitely left it in good hands with Felicity and she’ll figure out whatever needs to be figured out to get it up and running.

But that’s her problem on Arrow?

Yeah, he’s left. That world is all left behind.

What’s an example of a scene where Snart or Rory teach Ray the value of the darker side?

I think it’s evident in the episode [potential spoiler redacted]. Leonard’s tricks of the trade really help in getting him out of a sticky situation and also finding the right way to go, and knowing which lever to pull as it were.

Could you see a time when they might convince Ray to be a little less warm and trusting of someone?

I don’t know if they convince, but there are definitely opportunities where that comes up. That exact scenario is challenged. Ray may trust somebody too much and they’re saying, “No, no, you can’t trust this person.” But Ray is.

I’ll leave it up to the episode to see who’s right or wrong. Maybe Ray learns something from that or maybe he doesn’t. He’s a little bit stubborn sometimes.

Did all of that opening Atom flight run smoothly technically? Did you have to redo anything?

That’s all CGI.

Even your face?

My face is not CGI. When there’s dialogue it’s me shot in a specific technical way, but I did not do really any flying for that. It’s pretty impressive CG.

Have you by any chance spoken to Paul Rudd about the technology for shrinking scenes?

No, I’ve never met Paul Rudd. I’m a big fan but we haven’t discuss Ant-Man vs. Atom.

I don’t mean versus, but maybe similar techniques.

No, no, but technologies or attributes.

Was there one thing you got from the comic books that really clued you into Ray?

I think just his enthusiasm for science and for learning is a big part of who he was. He kept trying to shrink inanimate objects for a long time. Also just his heroic nature of putting himself first.

The fact that in the re-envisioning when he changed from Al Pratt into the real Ray Palmer story now, basically giving his life to shrink down, that when he resizes he’s going to blow up to save this group of school children caught in this cave is basically the story. He thinks saving these people is more important than his life and he goes and does that. I think that’s part of who Ray is today. That’s the heroic nature of who he is.

Is this the longest time you’ve ever spent with a single character?

I think so. I think so. I spent a long time thinking about Superman. I didn’t play him for as many hours on film but I definitely lived with Superman for about a year and a half. We’re kind of getting to that time now of living with Ray, certainly putting more Ray on camera.

What have been your favorite time periods to visit on Legends?

We haven’t done a ton yet. I mean, the ‘80s was a little bit fun but we’ve done so few yet I don’t know that I have a favorite yet.

Is Ray at home in some periods more than others?

I think the ‘80s is fun because there’s a couple fun movie references that happen during that, ‘80s films, references, pop culture stuff that Ray has for lines and that’s fun.

Casper Crump es “Vandal Savage” en DC’s Legends of Tomorrow
Por Craig Byrne 18 Enero, 2016

DC’s Legends of Tomorrow is only THREE DAYS away – premiering this Thursday, January 21 on The CW – and today, our spotlight turns to Casper Crump, the man who plays the evil and immortal villain Vandal Savage on the series.

Vandal Savage – himself a longtime character from the DC Comics universe – is nearly unbeatable and long-lived, seeing his life extended every time he kills incarnations of the two Hawk-people once known as Khufu and Shay-Ara. The character was first introduced in this year’s Arrow and Flash crossover.

We spoke with Casper Crump last week on the CW portion of the Television Critics Association press tour to find out a bit about what makes Vandal so savage.

KSITETV’s CRAIG BYRNE: What had you known about Vandal Savage as a character before you got the role?

CASPER CRUMP: Before it? Nothing, really. I had been a comic fan…. not like a die-hard comic fan; I’ve read comic books when I was younger, and then when I got this part, I was like “Whoa. Who is this dude?” He’s the coolest villain ever, really!

Had you done episodes of Legends of Tomorrow before you did the Arrow and Flash crossover?

Yes. We did some of the pilot before it. We did it all at the same time, which was pretty confusing. “All right, so we’re in Episode 2 on Legends, but we’re in the crossover…” I shot literally two different shows on the same day.

At the end of the Flash and Arrow crossover, it appeared that Malcolm Merlyn (John Barrowman) was the one to bring Vandal Savage back. Might we be seeing him on Legends of Tomorrow?

Do we know that he was the one who actually did that? Because I don’t! He did take his ashes and stuff, but that’s all I know.

What do you think Vandal Savage and Damien Darhk would think of each other?

Best buddies! Well, maybe not best buddies, but they’d respect each other. They sort of have the same goals. I hope that they will get together and do stuff.

Vandal obviously wants the Hawks dead to extend his own life. Has he ever tried a different tactic, like being friendly with them?

[Laughs] Well, I think he tried in ancient Egypt. He wanted to be friendly with Hawkgirl. It didn’t work out. That pissed him off, and he’s still mad about it. But no. Not in our story. He hasn’t been friendly to them, but I think he will as we progress.

Do you think he has any other goals beyond killing Hawks?

Well, there’s the world domination part. But the thing about him is that he’s not just your regular villain. He’s not after money, and he’s not after bombs, or nothing. He just wants to be the one guy in the world. But what I have been asking myself is “so when that happens, then what?” And I haven’t gotten the answer. What would you do if you had world domination? And it’s not something like “then I’d do good with the world, and no wars…” He’s dark.

What is it like as an actor to play a character who is pretty much unbeatable?

It’s great. It’s a great aspect to have in every scene, knowing that no matter how tense the situation gets, I can always get out of it. None of them can kill me.

In the comic books, Vandal Savage has a daughter. Are you aware of that?

Yes!

Is a character like Scandal Savage someone you’d like to see on the series?

Oh, totally. I’ve been begging for that.

Do you, yourself, understand Vandal Savage’s motivations?

I think we all have them, but everything tells us just not to go down that path. And then some people do. Just look around; they’re all over the place. There are “Vandal Savages” all over the place. But he has more time than anybody else.

Is there something particular you’d like to see Vandal do on the show?

I would like to see Vandal actually help out the team, for his own good, of course. Let’s go save some people and be nice. I help you out, to obtain what I want in the end. I would love to see that.

The show has such a huge fandom already. What was your reaction when you first saw the fan reaction to your casting?

It’s crazy. I had no idea. It came out… I got an e-mail from my agent saying “yeah, I think they’re going to release some press on it today,” and I went and sent a headshot over and said “you can use this shot,” and thirty minutes later, it was just all over the place. I am very thankful. Really. Every day I sort of pinch myself, and now it’s just starting.

Do you think the fans will be pleased when they see the show?

I really hope so. I have been trying… I don’t know if many people do this, but I’m listening to a lot of the podcasts, and all these things that fans put out there, and bloggers… It’s really helpful. It answers some of my questions. I try to incorporate what they want, if I can have any say in that. I hope they’re going to love it.

Caity Lotz sobre las diferencias entre Arrow y Legends of Tomorrow, la vida amorosa de Sara y más
Por Russ Burlingame 19/01/2016

She's battled Deathstroke, been resurrected by John Constantine and now she'll head into the timestream to battle Vandal Savage alongside Rip Hunter and DC's Legends of Tomorrow.

She's Caity Lotz -- or rather, her Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow character, Sara Lance. The OG Canary is set to fly again alongside The Atom, Firestorm, Hawkgirl, Hawkman and a pair of The Flash's rogues on board The Waverider, Rip Hunter's timeship.

Lotz joined ComicBook.com to talk a little bit about what's coming up for the series, which debuts on Thursday at 8 p.m. ET/PT on The CW.

Fans can meet Lotz at the upcoming Heroes & Villains Fan Fest in New York.

I remember talking to Brandon Routh and his saying that he started shooting Legends before he was back to life on Arrow. Did you have any trouble getting into the swing of where your character was supposed to be?

No, I started shooting Arrow before I started shooting our show. I came on the first part of Season Four of Arrow in August and then we didn’t go into production on Legends of Tomorrow until September.

You really seem from the first couple of episodes to be able to bounce off of anybody and to have kind of an everyman quality on the cast. Would you say that's fair?

I don’t know; I guess she is kind of the most normal because she doesn’t have a super power but she also died and came back to life and was trained by the League of Assassins; she hasn’t had a normal life at all. So I guess I would and I wouldn't agree with that.

Are there any particular characters you're enjoying having a chance to work with?

You know, it’s always so different, every dynamic we get to explore. I just had a scene with [Heat Wave], the character played by Dominic Purcell, and we hadn’t really had a scene together yet, and it was great. Him and Captain Cold, I think Sara has a lot of fun with them.

There’s a lot of dynamic energy that happens with Rip, which is interesting and fun to play. We yell at each other and disagree a lot.

Do you think that getting away from your family and Nyssa and everything -- as hard as it is -- is actually kind of freeing for Sara?

I think there’s always so much guilt and fear and responsibility of having her loved ones around her, she felt like she was hurting them and letting them down all the time. I think it has been a little bit more freeing for her, but I think the Legends have given her an opportunity to have a purpose.

What’s she been doing with her life? She had all these skills and has all these really shitty life experiences and is looking for an opportunity to make alchemy out of that. “Okay, I’m glad I was on that boat that one day because now I’ve saved the world and I've helped people."

You're characterized as kind of a little lost, and in search of that kind of direction, in the pilot. Did you feel that when you were on Arrow or is that kind of a new element to Sara?

I think Season Two [of Arrow] was fabulous character season for Sara. She got to do a lot and change a lot and do a lot and experience a lot.

Then Season Three, there was nothing really there. She dies, and then she’s lying there dead. I don’t think Season Three was a good one for her. Season Four, I only did a couple of episodes but that was all setting up for Legends.

Now, this is a giant character piece, especially the first season and the first two episodes in particular in about setting up a big story that’s very plot driven. As it goes, it gets deeper and more character driven and I really like that.

Does she find it hard to shift gears from fighting guys with swords to fighting time-traveling immortals?

Sara is Sara. Sara adjusts to whatever scenario she’s in. I don’t think thematically or tonally — actually Tonally there’s a difference between Arrow and Legends. There’s a levity and it is adjusting to that, which is a little bit of challenge.

What about you? Do you have trouble feeling like you're staying true to Sara in a show that's so light and bouncy compared to Arrow?

No, because our show is insane. Our show is everything. It’s super-funny-lighthearted and then it’s really dramatic and dark. Some people say it’s not like The Avengers because it’s so dark and others are “this is totally like The Avengers.” it’s got its own thing and I don’t know how it does it but it manages to go all over the place but still always feel like it's the same show.

As you're bouncing through tones, you're also bouncing through eras. Do you have a favorite time you've visited yet?

The seventies was pretty fun. Also, the next episode, which I’m probably not allowed to say where we’re going yet but I’m really looking forward to it. The one that Sara didn’t like character-wise was the fifties, that idealistic suburbia kind of perfection and all of that sexism. She definitely wasn’t into the fifties. But that was fun to make, because of all the wardrobe and the cars and everything.

That said, you've got a love interest coming out of the Fifties. I thought when I read that, it was a little bit of an odd fit having a "Fifties woman" for Sara. Is she going to recur, or is it just going to be a one-off?

Yeah, it is [a little weird]. As of right now it’s just that episode but you never know.

What about Nyssa? Do you think we'll see that resolved this year, or is there just too much else to deal with on your plates?

As of now, they have not gone into [Nyssa] and I think this season is not about love for Sara Lance. She needs to figure out who she is, figure out herself.

They haven’t addressed it. I would love for them to. I love Katrina, and everyone loves [Nyssa] with Sara. I’m sure we’ll address it, I can’t imagine that we never will.

Guggenheim llama a "Legends of Tomorrow" una 'carta de amor al DCU' y define lo qie es 'Místico' en la S4 de "Arrow"
Por Johan Weiland 19 Enero, 2016

Marc Guggenheim has built stellar careers in both television and comic books, and despite keeping busy as the co-showrunner of The CW's "Arrow," he just can't stop creating and working on even more new things.

Unless you've been living under a rock, you probably know that The CW is about to debut its third DC Comics-based series this week, "DC's Legends of Tomorrow," co-created by Guggenheim, Greg Berlanti & Andrew Kreisberg. "Legends" follows a rag-tag group of heroes and villains established on "Arrow" and "The Flash" who are assembled by time traveler Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) for a new mission -- traveling through time to stop Vandal Savage (Casper Crump) from wrecking the future.

Speaking to Jonah Weiland in the CBR Speakeasy, Guggenheim discussed what sets "Legends of Tomorrow" apart from everything else on television, why the show stars the characters it does and how each episode is different from every other. He also discusses "Arrow's" mystical turn in Season Four, how that allowed for John Constantine (Matt Ryan) to pay a visit even after his own series on NBC was cancelled, and whether we can expect a return engagement. Guggenheim also talks about why he never wants to stop writing comics and the draw of his new "Agents of SHIELD" ongoing series from Marvel, which allows him to scratch some of the same itches in the Marvel Comics Universe that "Legends of Tomorrow" allows him to do on television.

In the first part of his interview with CBR TV, "Arrow" Guggenheim explains the genesis of The CW's third DC Comics-based series and what sets it apart from everything else on TV -- including "Arrow" and "The Flash." He also discusses the slippery slope that is time travel, whether or not the series is inherently more difficult to create and produce, and which character relationship has surprised him the most.

On why "Legends of Tomorrow" centers on lesser known DC heroes:

Marc Guggenheim: We had great actors. We had Wentworth Miller. We had Dominic Purcell. We had Caity Lotz. We had Brandon Routh. We had Victor Garber. We just, we had them. Already. I think a good chunk of television, it's really about casting. We had this incredible cast so it would kind of be criminal, from a TV perspective, not to build a show around these amazing actors.

It was very much a function of, we were thinking about, "Are we gonna do a third show? We're only gonna do it if it's different enough. It's gotta be its own unique thing." And sort of we were having our own conversations and Mark Pedowitz was doing his own thinking, he's the head of the CW, and we arrived at the same math, which is, "Hey, wait a second. We have these incredible actors playing these great characters -- there's a show there." And that's really where it started.

On whether a show like "Legends of Tomorrow" is harder to create, produce and market than "Arrow" or "The Flash":

It is. We definitely doubled down on the degree of difficulty. It takes, you know, the visual effects established on "The Flash" and applies them to all these different characters, all of whom have super powers or abilities -- we went crazy. There's a part of me that wants to say, you don't ground it, you just let it go nuts. And there's a certain element of us certainly doing that. I think the way you ground it is it's in the characters. I always say, people are gonna come for the spectacle, but they'll stay for the character dynamics. The spectacle, the visual effects, the production value, all that's well and good and it'll hopefully get people to watch, but eventually that becomes old hat and eventually you have to deliver the goods from a storytelling perspective and you can't just throw visual effects at everything. I think that's what we've done.

The first two episodes were originally conceived of as one, two-hour event, and we ended up breaking them up into two episodes. That's probably sort of why you feel like, "Oh, Episode 1 is this, Episode 2 is that." I will say, we're now writing Episode 12 and there is not a single episode I can point to that's like any other. This show is very unique in the sense that it literally is a different thing week to week to week to week. There's no villain of the week to sort of ground us from a storytelling perspective -- it really is its own animal. If you don't like -- I'm picking numbers out of the air -- if you don't like Episode 4, stick around, Episode 5 is totally different.

On the perils and promise of time travel:

I'm always the first to admit we are incredibly fast and loose with time travel rules. I always like to say, if you're someone who is turning in purely for the strict rules of time travel, and how they will be articulated and followed to the letter, honestly, probably not the show for you. The show uses time travel and we go to different corners of the DC Universe -- the show functions on a lot of different levels. One of the reasons I'm proud of it is that it works as a character drama -- it's almost like a family drama -- it works as spectacle, it works as a comic book come to life. It also, quite frankly, it works as this total crazy, nutbar combination of things. And that combination of things is really a love letter to the DC Universe. When you say which corners are we visiting, we're visiting them all. We're in prep on an episode right now that takes place in the Old West, we meet Jonah Hex. The show's a love letter to the DC Universe.

In the second half of the interview, Marc Guggenheim explains when in Season Three the show's writers knew what direction Season Four would take, how that allowed for "Constantine's" Matt Ryan to visit, and definitively explains fans can expect to encounter him again. The busy writer also talks about how he maintains his hectic schedule and why, amid many other projects in both TV and comics, he decided to tackle Marvel's new "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." ongoing comic series and the goals he has set for himself in the Marvel Universe.

On why this season of "Arrow" introduced occult and supernatural elements:

Each season has sort of required of us to come up with a theme or come up with a central concept behind it. In Season Two we sort introduced the idea of metahumans, in Season Three it was the League of Assassins. We were looking for something for Season Four and I think, you know, we always get to a point in the previous season where we start talking about the next season. We got to a point in Season Three and we were talking about the lazarus pit and we were talking about R'as al Ghul and there's this idea of mysticism that we really haven't a) explored on the show apart from the lazarus pit but b) fits very much into the voice of the show, and the take and tone of the show. If you go back and look at like, I think it's episode 3x15, Oliver basically says, "I've seen some stuff you can't explain." That was us sort of -- we love to plant a flag and say, "Look for that next season." And that's when we knew what we were gonna do in Season Four.

On whether John Constantine could have ever visited "Arrow" if "Constantine" remained on NBC:

I'm gonna get in trouble for saying this, but, dammit, who cares. Back when "Constantine" was on, we were talking about a crossover and then "Constantine" wasn't on so we stopped talking about a crossover. And then it was like, was it gonna show up somewhere else. Well, we can't talk about a crossover now. It took a while, but yeah, it was something -- I think it was actually something Matt Ryan and Stephen [Amell] started talking. It was always in the cards.

On whether another Constantine visit could happen:

When we were given the character, we were given the character with the understanding and the agreement that this was a one-off.

On what drew him to write the ongoing "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." comic book:

To answer that question, I have to answer the question why comics in the first place. Because you're right, I'm busy with television, why write comics, it doesn't pay as well. I do it really for the love of the game. I love writing comics, and I love bouncing back and forth between the Marvels and DCs, where it's the characters I grew up with, and the creator-owned stuff like "Stringers" and "Jonas Quantum" that I'm creating on my own. And I love working with the folks at Marvel -- I probably should say that because of DC -- but I love the books at Marvel and I've been working with them for over ten years now and they're amazing.

The way "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." quite frankly came about was, it was like last June, I went to lunch with a whole bunch of the Marvel editors I've been working with, because a) I was in town, and also I was wrapping up my "Secret Wars" tie-ins and everything. And I was like, "Oh, I'm kind of running out of stuff to write." And pretty much at the end of the lunch [editor] Katie Kubert said to me, "Really? Are you really available?" "Yeah, I'm totally available." She's like, "I could really use a pitch on 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'" There was a split second where I thought, that could really be weird if this ends up happening. For the longest time I think people put "Arrow" and "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." in competition with each other, but at the same time, again, because I do it for the love of the game and I love the Marvel Universe, I really got excited about the idea of doing "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." essentially as, like, this could allow me to visit every corner of the Marvel Universe I could think of. Unlike other Marvel books I've done where it's X-Men or Spider-Man or Blade where you're in that corner, what's great about "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." is it goes everywhere and they interact with everybody.

My sort of high-concept for the book is it's "Mission: Impossible," it's James Bond, but unlike James Bond and "Mission: Impossible" where they go to these exotic locales and it's all about visiting different places, different countries, this is different corners of the Marvel Universe. I try very hard -- and like Paris appears in the second issue -- but for the most part I want to go to Wakanda, I want to go to Attilan, I want to go to Genosha, I want to go to these different places that are unique to the Marvel Universe. That's just so much fun for me, and it's worth, quite frankly, it's worth making time for. It's been a blast to write.


- Marc Guggenheim Calls "Legends of Tomorrow" a "Love Letter to the DC Universe" (CBR):

Victor Garber de ‘DC’s Legends of Tomorrow’ nunca pensó que su próximo papel sería en una serie de superhéroes
Por Sheri Block 19 Enero, 2016

He’s played everything from a shipbuilder in “Titanic” and a famous Canadian diplomat in “Argo” to a killer on CTV’s “Motive,” but Victor Garber never thought his next role would be in a superhero show.

The venerable Canadian actor plays Dr. Martin Stein on “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow,” premiering Thursday, Jan. 21 at 8:30 pm ET/PT on CTV, after portraying the character in “The Flash” for the past two seasons.

“Who would’ve thought I’d be in this position at this point in my life? I thought I’d be a lawyer on ‘The Good Wife,’ which I love, but doing something in that genre,” says Garber, during a break from filming his new series on location near Vancouver, B.C.

But the multiple Emmy Award nominee says he had such a good time working on “The Flash” he couldn’t turn down the opportunity to play this character full-time, even if it meant temporarily relocating to the west coast.

“Someone told me once if you ever get too comfortable, move, and I lived by that because it’s really important … I’ve left my home, my partner does come here but we live in New York, so this was a big decision for me to make. I’m glad I did but it’s challenging.”

Garber is also hoping to make more appearances on “The Flash,” as well as “Arrow,” as all three shows share the same executive producer, Greg Berlanti.

“It’s going to be a revolving door of actors, all three shows, that part of it. First of all it’s unique, never been done, and as an actor from the theatre, that was what a repertory company was. You worked with the same actors in different plays … I love the community part of it,” says Garber, during an interview at the CTV Upfront last June.

As Dr. Stein, Garber is one half of meta-human Firestorm, with Franz Drameh as his fiery counterpart, Jefferson ‘Jax’ Jackson. Together they are tasked, along with a disparate group of heroes and villains that includes the White Canary, the Atom and Hawkgirl, to travel through time and stop a 6,000 year-old super villain from destroying the future.

Since Stein is the voice in Jax’s head when they become Firestorm, it means Drameh takes on the majority of the stunt work, which suits Garber just fine.

“I can go home so that’s the best part of my job,” says Garber with a laugh. “He does a lot of the physical stuff. I also do a lot, too. I do a lot of running and skulking around and I have, yes, done my share of falling and punching.

“The first time I did that was in ‘Alias’ and it was back several years ago and I surprised myself that I was more adept than I thought I would be. But I’m lucky in that the professor, being a certain age, I don’t have to participate in a lot of that.”

While doing stunt work wasn’t completely new to Garber, being involved in a show with a rabid comic book fan base was.

“It’s just shocking. The whole Comic-Con world was something I had first of all no interest in and it frightened me … it still does to a certain extent,” he says with a laugh.

That being said, Garber adds he enjoys seeing how enthusiastic the fans are.

“I love that it means so much to them and I am a recipient of that.”

With “Arrow,” “The Flash” and now “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow,” the popularity of superhero shows has exploded in recent years and Garber believes it has something to do with the difficult times we’re living in.

“I think that people are looking to escape that and to find a way to see a better world, even though there’s a lot of bad stuff going on in these shows, there’s a heart that is always striving to make it right. I think that aspect of human nature is very comforting and appealing.”

El elenco de 'Legends of Tomorrow' habla sobre sus personajes y la nueva serie
Por ExtraTV 19 Enero, 2016

Fans of “The Flash” and “Arrow” are gearing up for the super spinoff “Legends of Tomorrow,” which premieres this week on the CW!

The story kicks off as time-traveling rogue Rip Hunter assembles a team of heroes and criminals to battle against a 4,000-year-old immortal villain named Vandal Savage.

ExtraTV.com caught up with some of the cast and producers at various events over the past few months, even visiting the set in Vancouver this fall. Here’s what they had to say about the new series:

Wentworth Miller on Leonard Snart/Captain Cold becoming a team player:
“It is this cool concept of heroes and villains working together to take on this supervillain, but that doesn’t mean it is meant to be one big happy family. I think there are going to be bumps in the road. I think Captain Cold is used to calling the shots and not working as a team player… I don’t know if you will see [Snart’s] nicer side, but he is challenged at this point to develop his altruistic side… my hope as the actor playing the character is that he never becomes fully good because he is so much fun to play bad.”

Brandon Routh on Ray Palmer/The Atom being the optimistic one in the group:
“He's the optimistic side for sure -- most of the time, and I think helping the villains understand another side of life. But they're doing a really awesome job -- interesting job, helping him understand the other side of life,” he said, later adding that Ray has had several scenes with his “polar opposite” Captain Cold. “There's been some really cool character developments come from that, both characters kind of learning a little bit from each other… and there's a lot of good comedic moments that happen between the two of them and then adding in Heat Wave (Dominic Purcell) as well.”

Victor Garber on how Prof. Martin Stein/Firestorm fits into the “Legends” family drama:
“What's interesting about this show and what's different about this show is there are those different personalities all put together in one trying to battle bigger evil. That's what intrigued me about it because it's really a family drama. It's got where everyone is a superhero and can do these things, but for me, what interests me about all these shows is the human aspect… I am the oldest person and arguably one of the smartest, and therefore, there's, as you may know, a touch of arrogance and hubris about Stein that does get him in some hot water with his partner – with Jefferson Jackson – and with the other people on the ship.”

Ciara Renée on Kendra Saunders/Hawkgirl’s time travel:
“We know she gets reincarnated so I think that is going to be a really interesting aspect especially with time travel, maybe we will bump into her in different time periods,” she said, adding that the cast is “super great. It is great chemistry we are all so different so to see us together is going to be really interesting the ways we work and don’t work.”

Arthur Darvill on training for Rip Hunter’s fight scenes, and not wanting to be a guidance counselor:
“So far, we've had quite a few big fight sequences. The stunt team on this are amazing, and my stunt double, Matt, is brilliant and helps me through everything and makes me look like I can actually do it rather than the wiggly idiot that I kind of think I am,” he said, also touching on the “Legends” group dynamic. “Trust is a big issue. I think trust is the main issue, actually, and just keeping everyone in check. I don't think he wants to become some kind of guidance counselor, and they've still got a job to do and it escalates. The whole thing escalates.”

Franz Drameh on how his background in the circus helped with the role of Jefferson “Jax” Jackson/Firestorm:
“There's been a lot of wire work and flying around, which I love doing, absolutely love doing, because I used to be in the circus when I was younger, as well… I was in the London Youth Circus, from like 7 til I was 14. Doing like flying trapeze, acrobatics, tightrope-walking, all that kind of stuff. So I come from a pretty active kind of background,” he said, joking that he’s a “bit rusty, but some of it's like riding a bike, really. You never really forget.”

Caity Lotz on doing those Sarah Lance/White Canary stunts:
“I don’t have a wing and a mask this time, which as cool as it looked, I’m so excited not to, just because you get so much more facial movement and also visibility for doing stunts, because I am very into doing the fighting. Before you couldn’t tell if it was my stunt double or if it was me because I was so covered up. I really love doing as many of my stunts as possible, so it will be fun to see the action and then to see that I’m doing it is hopefully pretty cool for people.”

Producer Marc Guggenheim on choosing Vandal Savage as the series villain:
“He is my all time favorite DC villain, my favorite, and this is such a childhood dream of mine. There is an issue of ‘Flash’ where Vandal Savage he’s in the middle of the cover and he’s basically punching Green Lantern and kicking The Flash. It is one of the most seminal memories of my childhood. The fact that we are bringing him to television for the first time is incredible.”

Legends of Tomorrow: Ve al interior del 'loco' equipo de Héroes/Villanos de la CW — Plus, una útil guía de personajes
Por Matt Webb Mitovich y Vlada Gelman / 20 enero 2016, 11:38 AM PST

The time is now for DC’s Legends of Tomorrow.

The CW’s timey-wimey Arrow/Flash offshoot debuts this Thursday at 8/7c, as Rip Hunter recruits Sara Lance/White Canary, Ray Palmer/The Atom, Captain Cold and Heat Wave, Firestorm’s Professor Stein and Jax Jackson, and Hawkgirl and Hawkman to find and stop the immortal Vandal Savage from conquering Earth.

The series is an undertaking as sizable as its cast, endeavoring to bring Avengers-style team-ups to the small screen. To buckle you up best for the wild ride, TVLine invited executive producer Marc Guggenheim to take us inside the “insane” series’ development. Plus, in the slideshow below, is a character-by-character guide to the Waverider’s assembly of unlikely allies.

TVLINE | What surprised you most as you started bringing Legends to life?
I think what surprised us the most is how well the zaniness played. You’ve got this combination of characters — a time traveler, two men who inhabit one body, a deceased assassin, reincarnated hawkpeople, two criminals, a guy who shrinks down and flies — so this show is by definition insane, and one of the decisions we made very early on is, “OK, we’re either going to double down on that or play it safe,” and we decided, “We’re going to double down.” And what pleasantly surprised us is how well that gamble paid off. The other thing that’s surprising — we’re in production now on Episode 10 of 16 — is I cannot tell you that there is a typical episode. Like, every episode is different, every episode has its own unique perspective. It’s very different from Arrow or Flash in that respect. There’s no Villain of the Week, there’s no prototypical episode.

TVLINE | I was going to say, from the first two hours it would seem you have the Chase After the Latest Vandal Savage Clue episode, and there’s the Fix Something in the Timeline We Screwed Up! episode.
And I would say we actually haven’t done many more episodes like that. Certainly we’ve screwed things up [in the timeline], because that’s fun, and pursuing Vandal Savage is the raison d’être of the team, but there’s no paradigmatic episode. They’re all unique little beasts, and that is part of the fun of the show and the thing people will really want to embrace.

TVLINE | In what specific ways have these characters, who previously were supporting on other shows, acquired texture as co-leads?
Part of it is a tonal change — like, Sara’s a little lighter. And part of it is an opportunity to get to know these characters better, and as we do they take on better dimensions. On Flash, Snart’s dad was a bastard and so he became a criminal, but when you spend more time with him you start to realize that that origin story has nuances to it. It’s the same story but a deepened version. We’re not retconning anything. Anything you know is still true, but now your perspective changes as the result of additional information. Similarly with Ray Palmer, there’s more that he can do. He’s not a character who’s just in a relationship with Felicity, a guy you check in with at Palmer Tech. He’s driving his own story now and you learn more about who he is as a person.

TVLINE | The group fight scenes are crazy-elaborate. Even if a character is barely in the frame, you can see they’re doing something very specific at any given instant. Would you say they’ll be more the exception than the rule?
No, actually. Every director since Glen Winter, who directed the first two hours, has had their own approach, but one thing we’ve been doing is trying to steer the directors more towards those Avengers-style tableaus. As Glen and I discussed at length in the pilot, it took as much time to shoot those big tableau shots as it would to cover it traditionally, so we made the decision, “You know what? Let’s take the time to do it.” There’s a lot of choreography in terms of fight choreography and camera moves and the explosions that go off, all of that has to be very tightly coordinated. It’s like doing a oner [single-take shot]. But I think it gives you the cinematic scope we’re going for, it gives you the team interaction we’re going for.

TVLINE | Is there an era you’re almost intimidated to take on? One you might put in your pocket for Season 2?
There really should be — if we had any common sense! Honestly, it was the ’70s that intimidated me the most. The ’70s are tricky because if they’re not pulled off well it comes off really, really campy. In many ways, the era I was afraid of the most we got out of the way from jump. I’m not saying it’s always going to be smooth sailing, but a big part of all of these shows is we tend to do the stuff that scares us. I don’t know what in our psychology compels us to do that, but it’s working. We have an amazing, amazing art team and props team and wardrobe team….

TVLINE | Sometimes its just a filter on the camera to make the ’70s look a little less saturated, a little hazy….
And sometimes you just get lucky too. Joe Dante (Gremlins) is directing an episode that takes place in the late 1950s. We didn’t write the episode to take place in the late 1950s because Joe Dante was directing it, but damn if he is not the perfect director to realize that era, especially since we’re doing an Amblin-style version of the late 50s.

TVLINE | Are you going to carefully mete out the Back to the Future-type episodes, where someone meets their past self? Or are you going to get them all out of the way?
No, we’re going to measure those out because you’ve got to be careful about those. There is one coming up in the third episode that’s very different from when Stein meets his younger self [in Episode 2]. There’s a glimpse of it in the trailer, when Snart meets his younger self, and honestly it’s the most emotional moment in the series so far. It’s fantastic and it’s so different, and the reason we did it in the third episode is we felt we could get away with it because it is so different from our version in Episode 2.

Jefe de "Legends of Tomorrow" detalla las reglas del viaje en el tiempo
Por Natalie Abrams 20 Enero, 2016

A thick fog wafts through the bars of a cell in a chilly Siberian gulag. At the precipice of an all-out riot, lights flicker fast, sirens likely blaring as Dominic Purcell and Wentworth Miller are in the midst of busting out of jail, but this isn’t a scene from their upcoming Prison Break revival: It’s actually 1986 and their former Flash villains Mick Rory and Leonard Snart are decked out in guard uniforms in order to free a bruised and bloodied Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh) from the clink. Just an occupational hazard in the life of a time traveler.

Brought together by Time Master Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill), the trio joins a disparate group of heroes and villains — including Sara Lance (Caity Lotz), Martin Stein (Victor Garber), Jay Jackson (Franz Drameh), Kendra Saunders (Ciara Renée) and Carter Hall (Falk Hentschel) — all in the name of preventing immortal threat Vandal Savage (Casper Crump) from taking over the world. (Get the full rundown on each of those characters here.)

But saving the world by jumping from decade to decade won’t be easy, particularly because time travel is fickle. Likening their rules to Back to the Future, executive producer Phil Klemmer explains, “You travel in time, and if you keep your parents from meeting at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance, all of a sudden, you disappear from the Polaroid picture,” he says. The caveat is that whatever is changed doesn’t take immediate effect. “Time is concrete that starts to set,” Klemmer says. “The longer the consequences of that event play out, and once the events of the future are set like concrete, then it’s impossible to change them.”

The other thing that’s impossible to change? “You can’t return to a time and place where you changed the chronology once,” he says. “You basically get one chance to make a change within the timeline, [and then] live with the consequences of that screw-up … It’s like Ghostbusters crossing the streams — if you try to go back and change something [in which] you were a participant, that has a catastrophic effect.”

Hence why the inclusion of time travel doesn’t guarantee safety on this show. “People die, they die for real,” Klemmer says. “You can’t go back and tell them to duck when they got struck by a bullet, because saving their life winds up blurring the entire universe. And if you do find one way of saving the person, there is a cosmic force that’s pushing things towards how [they] were originally meant to happen.”

Therefore, viewers could see a new group of Legends should the show find legs. “There will be attrition, whether it’s mortal, people lost to the dark side, people lost to geography or time, and people will lose their lives,” Klemmer says. “It is meant to be more of an anthology than the other two DC shows that Greg [Berlanti] has done.”

Jumping through various time periods — the Cold War, Pleasantville ’50s, the Wild West, and the distant future in which Vandal is at the apex of his power, among them — the group uses their palatial time-traveling ship, the chock-full-of-Easter-eggs Waverider, for both their grand plan and personal gain. “Rip has what looks like a Victorian gentleman’s club as his office space,” Klemmer says. “Our art department just packed it to the gills with various DC hidden props — there’s some pretty esoteric stuff in here.”

There’s also the inclusion of new and familiar faces from the Berlanti-verse, including Damian Darhk (Neal McDonough), Valentina Vostok (Stephanie Corneliussen), Ra’s al Ghul (Matt Nable), Cisco Ramon (Carlos Valdes), Jonah Hex (Johnathon Schaech), and Connor Hawke. “Part of the conceit of the show and going all throughout time is the fact that we can visit all these different corners of the DC Universe,” EP Marc Guggenheim says. “The show functions on a lot of different levels, but one of the levels it functions on is as a love letter to the DC Universe, and Connor is a great example of that.”

And there’s the fact that the chilly gulag the team has escaped from while EW was on set “is familiar to people who watch Arrow,” Klemmer says. “We’ll meet an incarnation of a certain Soviet character 40 years before the time we met him on Arrow.”

Though Legends won’t often crossover with those other shows given the nature of time travel, viewers can expect to see older and/or younger versions of Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) and Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell). “We can go back and see the pre-history of both Arrow and Flash, and we can also go and see what season 50 of Flash or Arrow would look like,” Klemmer says. “But if we return to Star City or Central City, what we’re looking at is not just the future, but an It’s a Wonderful Life future, because in this future, our guys have been gone for 50 years. They left in 2016 never to return.”

And while running into your past self may not have cataclysmic consequences like ripping a hole in the space-time continuum, there are far worse things that could happen. “It’s more like if you run into yourself, you either make yourself end up in a lunatic asylum, because they’ve seen something totally inexplicable,” Klemmer says, “Or it’s the Doc Brown thing where, [by knowing] of the existence of time travel, you’ve totally altered the future course of your life. A lot of our characters have had such terrible lives that the temptation is too great, and our characters would absolutely have interactions with their former selves, because who wouldn’t want to try to correct the horrible, hideous things that have gone wrong in our lives?” Or make a quick buck by passing along the Grays Sports Almanac? Count us in!

Franz Drameh trae un Firestorm a "Legends Of Tomorrow"
Por Craig Byrne 20 Enero, 2016

Another day closer to the series premiere of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow on The CW, which means it’s time to share another interview with a member of the cast!

Today, the spotlight falls on Franz Drameh, who plays Jefferson “Jax” Jackson, the new half of the duo that makes Firestorm. He’s paired with Victor Garber’s Martin Stein, and together, they make up an explosive part of the new team.

KSITETV’s CRAIG BYRNE: Jax is probably the only character who is tricked into traveling through time. Can you talk about that aspect?

FRANZ DRAMEH: When Rip Hunter approaches the whole team with this offer to travel through time to defeat Vandal Savage, Jax wants absolutely no part of it. He’s not interested. So Stein drugs him and kidnaps him, and essentially, Jax wakes up mid-time jump on this ship, having no idea where he is or where he’s headed to! So it’s kind of a crazy adventure for Jax.

How does he feel once he’s finally there?

He’s pissed! He’s really annoyed. He just can’t believe that he got tricked into going on this extremely dangerous and life-threatening mission. But, you know he comes around.

What was it like to do the Flash episode that led into Legends of Tomorrow?

That was really fun. It was really cool. I was excited to see how Jax would get his powers, and the kind of connection that he would build with Stein. It was a really fun episode.

At what point in the process did they tell you who Jax Jackson would be?

When I cast for it, the breakdown was “Mystery Hero Michael.” And I was like “Okay, I wonder who this is.” I’m a big comic book fan, so I was like “who is this?” And I was reading the sides, and I saw Stein’s name pop up… so I was like “is this…? Is this Firestorm? I think this might be a Firestorm! But they already have a Firestorm!” So I had an idea, but I wasn’t exactly sure how it was going to work out or what exactly it would be. But I kind of had a feeling, pretty early on.

Have you been able to meet Robbie Amell yet?

I have! He’s a very cool dude.

Which one of you has the cooler Firestorm costume?

Me! Watching The Flash, I was always bummed that Robbie didn’t have a fully fledged suit. I was like “dude, come on. You need to get a Firestorm suit!” So when they told me that I’d actually have one, I was so excited. I was literally over the moon

What was your reaction when you put on the costume for the first time?

I think I ran around the fitting room going [shooting noises] and pretending to shoot fire and fly around like a little kid.

What was your reaction the first time you saw the visual effects for your character?

Oh, man. It was insane. It was crazy, just watching it all come together. That’s Firestorm! It’s nuts.

What is it like to work opposite Victor Garber?

I have so much fun. We have really good chemistry. We get alone like a house on fire. We’re always teasing each other and trying to wind each other up. We just have a really good level of banter. It’s so much fun working with him. I mean, just bouncing ideas off each other… it’s nice. It’s nice working with Victor.

We still haven’t heard a lot of talk about Jax’s family. Do we get to meet any of them at any point?

We might. I mean, that’s a possibility. I hope we’ll explore that… Jax talks a lot about his mother, but we’re not sure what the deal is with his other family, so maybe that’s something that will be explored in later episodes.

Was ever a consideration to let Jax be British?

Not that I know of. [Laughs] I would’ve loved to use my own accent, but no.

As an actor, when you’re doing a scene with, say, Arthur for example, is it hard to keep the accent?

Yes and no. Not necessarily with Arthur, but the challenge I sometimes find is when you’re doing different dialects, keeping it consistent. So let’s say I’m doing a “New York” kind of thing, I might slip into a more “L.A.” [voice] – you have to watch it and reel it back in so you keep it consistent.

What does Jax think of Rip Hunter?

I think Jax is still making his mind up. Rip is very focused on the mission at hand. He has a clear goal and to a degree, he doesn’t let a lot get in the way of that, so he makes a lot of tough decisions, and some decisions that Jax doesn’t agree with. But Jax is still working him out, as he is with the whole team. There’s a lot of conflict in the group. It’s a team that gets thrown together very quickly, and we have to work together and work as a unit. Things don’t necessarily go to plan. There’s arguments, there’s fights…. yes, it’s a crazy mixing pot of individuals.

If you yourself could go in time to any period, where would you like to go and why?

I’d go to the Dark Ages. Like, medieval kind of times. I can imagine myself on a horseback with a sword just charging into battle. I love that kind of thing.

Do you have a time period that has excited you the most, that you’ve visited on the show so far?

I quite like the future. That’s interesting.

What are you most excited for fans to see on Thursday?

I’m excited to see how fans react to this whole new team. I feel like that is, in my opinion, one of the truest forms of the whole comic book genre, is that idea of a team. Like, the Justice League, the Teen Titans… that whole kind of thing… just coming together and working as a unit, fighting side by side. The fight scenes that we have in this show are epic. So, I hope that fans will really enjoy it.

Hentschel está listo para los "Golpes de mazo en cámara lenta" de Hawkman
Por Scott Huver 20 Enero, 2016

The last time audiences with a taste for superheroic television saw actor Falk Hentschel in action, it was in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a mercenary take on the enduring baddie Whiplash on "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." Now, after guest stints on "Arrow" and "The Flash" and a big presence on "Legends of Tomorrow," he's playing a full-fledged DC Comics superhero, and an iconic one at that: Hawkman.

Continuing his recent guest shots as the Ancient-Egyptian-Khufu-reincarnated-as-modern-day-Carter-Hall take on DC's Winged Wonder, Hentschel enters the new show with plenty of skill in the winged harness along with a lively "will-they/won't-they" rapport with Hawkgirl (Ciara Renee), Carter's past and, he hopes, future lover. The actor sat down with CBR News to discuss his excitement about getting into the 4,000-year-old head of the hero -- and his relief at how, for now, the TV version is a little less inclined toward bare-chested adventuring.

CBR News: What first made you say, "I think I can be this guy?"

Falk Hentschel: "I can be 4,000 years old?" It was a multitude of things. When I read the character description, it was just an immediate connection that I felt. I am a very spiritual person, and I think a character that's been around and witnessed humanity for this long -- I always call him the "uncle" of humanity. That was one of the biggest things that drew me to it, the reincarnation part of it. What is that like? What's his opinion on the world? And my name's Falk, which is translated to Hawk, so that helped.

Because he's been around for so long and in all these different iterations, is it a great actor's opportunity to bring something different to each era that he appears in?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Absolutely, absolutely. Yeah, I think you can play with all these nuances and where is he in the timeline of having learned this lesson in life. You know how we all have our own thing that we deal with? Our parents, the thing with your mother, the thing with your spouse, whatever. He's had this opportunity 206 times now. I think you can sort of have the luxury to be in different time periods, to touch on different subjects. We'll see what the writing will do. I'm tied to what I'm given, but I'm really excited to see what they'll give me in the morning.

Along with having an intriguing story and concept in all of his various incarnations over the years, Hawkman's always been very visually dynamic and striking from the very first images in the 40s. What's it been like for you to bring that to life just with your own physicality? The costume can't be the easiest thing to make work all the time.

I mean, I was actually really relieved. I thought I was going to get the harness and nothing else. I was like, "Okay. I've got to really beef up, and I don't have the time." I only had three weeks. No, I was really lucky. The costume was really comfortable. The helmet was great. I put it on, I was just really happy with it.

To be honest, costumes always for me helps so much in feeling the character. It does like over half of the job of the performance for me sometimes, because it just infuses everything with the feeling, and that helps.

Do you think you'll quietly add bulk to yourself as the show plays out?

Maybe. If I do that, it has to be quiet. But to be honest with you, TV is so fast and we have so little time that I don't know if I'm physically capable of doing it without hurting myself. I might add a little bit more. I think there's a couple iterations in the comic world. There was one Hawkman that had more of a swimmer's physique, with really slim kind of tone, which is where I think I'm at. Maybe I'm a little bit bigger than that. I'm definitely not The Rock, which the Hawkman is in a lot of other comics. Some fans are upset, some love it.

I just think, I've got to bring what I can to it and what I want to it. There is a limit, especially since I don't have five months to prep like I do for a film. And keeping it up, I mean, that's the part, with a show that goes on shooting 14 days and then go to the gym. And to eat -- just the eating!

Tell me about finding that necessarily chemistry in a couple of different ways with Ciara? You play lovers who are deeply, passionately in love in one era, then you're sort of at odds. You guys had to figure that out, I would imagine, quickly.

Again, a lot of the work was done for us by casting, because we just got along. That helped. We had a natural bickering, but in a positive way. We're not afraid to step on each other's toes and say what we think to one another, which helps in a work dynamic. So many times, she really came up with great stuff that we then used, or vice versa.

As far as the dynamics go, the script does a lot for you, obviously. Yeah, we work each scene together. We don't just come in and do our thing. We do, at first, but then, through the rehearsal process, we really try -- we're really invested in this couple for the fans. I think there's something very special about Hawkman and Hawkgirl. We're the first couple in superhero history. They are this dynamic duo, so we really want to pay respect to that and make sure that, hey, are we doing this scene right together? And it's been great. It's been really lovely, working with her.

Within this ensemble of heroes, who is Hawkman? What is his role within the group dynamic?

Especially in the pilot episodes, he is sort of the encyclopedia on Vandal Savage. He is, I would say, the expert on the issue at hand. But also, is not used to working with that many people. I'm sure he has teamed up with, I keep saying this because it's just my fantasy, Alexander the Great, Robin Hood, Robin of Loxley. Who knows?

But this huge group, and especially having his lover, he's got to deal with this group while he's trying to convince Ciara's character Kendra that she loves him. There's a lot going on, and he's juggling a lot. At the same time, I think he's excited and nervous about this opportunity that he has. It seems like, "Okay. This is a pretty good scene. We've got a good shot at taking them down forever." Yeah, it's an interesting dynamic.

That's the other side of the intriguing relationship: creating that kind of history of centuries of hatred and battle between Hawkman and Vandal Savage. Your relationship with Casper Crump has got to be pretty central to what you're doing.

Absolutely. Absolutely. That was another thing that was very lucky. Casper and I became best buds, I would say. We stayed in the same hotel in the beginning, so that really helped. Honestly, if we cross swords again, I don't know if we will or not, but if we do, I'd love to see the humor between the two of them.

If you meet each other, or not, if you've been killing each other for that long, there must be somewhat of an intimacy that I would actually be really interested in. They're clearly not friends, but there must be some sort of, "Here we are again…" They're connected, I think, and I like humor in general. I think that's really great about what a lot of the new shows are doing. So we'll see. We'll see what happens with that.

I really enjoy, obviously, Casper. He's got such a great take on Vandal. He doesn't play the cliche. He just really believes that this guy's doing something good for the world. And he has a bit of a Christoph Waltz quality, in my opinion.

Was there anything particularly exciting about your research? Looking at the comic book Hawkman and all the different permutations over the decades, what got you interested in the character and his history?

Since I didn't have a script when I signed on -- I didn't see the pilot -- I was just very curious what the reiteration will be. I thought it was the guy who had the metal suit -- the suit, the wings were made of metal. So I love seeing it come about, and we've discussed it and I've now been told, I know now that it's a mix of things. It's sort of its own iteration of that.

So I did the research on the comic and then quickly realized, "Okay, it's going to be a mix of things, so stay present in the moment and go with what's given. Also, focus on the part that is universal, which is the reincarnation of having been around for 4,000 years." That's sort of what I keep drawing from.

Do you have any inclination to believe in reincarnation?

I do. I absolutely do. I don't know that I believe in it in the old fashioned sense of how it's written down in scripture or anything like that. I think we've been around. We come back and forth, and we get the chance to do it again differently. So yeah, I absolutely do believe in reincarnation, yeah.

Did you see anything in those comic books pages, or even just a visual like, "Oh I hope I get to do that?"

Flying! Just flying, itself. No. You know what? I'm still waiting for that slow-motion mace shot. We haven't had that yet. Maybe make the mace a little bigger than it is now.

No, I just really want that hero shot, you know? I've seen a couple of those in "Flash" and "Arrow." They wind up in slow-mo. Completely silly, fun, little boy stuff that made me become an actor. I'd love to see one of those. But other than that, I'm enjoying all of it. The whole process.

La historia de "legends of Tomorrow" del director de "Gremlins" estará basada en los "finales de los 1950"
Por Brett White, 20 Enero, 2016

With time travel playing an integral role in the CW's "Legends of Tomorrow," it seems as if no time period is off limits for the show's ragtag cast of heroes. We already know they'll be traveling to the future as well as the Wild West, and they'll definitely make a few pitstops in the 20th century as well.

While speaking with TV Line, executive producer Marc Guggenheim spoke about a trip to the late 1950s -- a course that will be guided by "Gremlins" director Joe Dante.

"And sometimes you just get lucky too," said Guggenheim, speaking to the perfect pairing of director with era. "Joe Dante is directing an episode that takes place in the late 1950s. We didn’t write the episode to take place in the late 1950s because Joe Dante was directing it, but damn if he is not the perfect director to realize that era, especially since we’re doing an Amblin-style version of the late 50s." Guggenheim is of course referencing Amblin Entertainment, Steve Spielberg's production company that's responsible for movies like "Gremlins," the "Back to the Future" trilogy, "Goonies" and more.

Dante's episode will be the eighth episode of "Legends of Tomorrow's" first season, which is titled "Night of the Hawk." Knowing that the episode is set in the '50s and features "Hawk" in the title, there are a number of possibilities about who could appear in the episode. Of course both Hawkman and Hawkgirl are on the team, and most likely have counterparts in the late '50s as they are constantly reincarnated. It's also been reported that "LOT" is looking to cast Connor Hawke as a possible alternate version of Green Arrow, but that character has no ties to the 1950s.

Considering the era and episode title, it's possible that "Night of the Hawk" could serve as the debut of Lady Blackhawk, a trained soldier and pilot that debuted in 1959's "Blackhawk" #133. The comic book character even has time-travel in her history, as the late '50s version of Lady Blackhawk traveled forward in time during the 1994 event "Zero Hour." Executive producer Greg Berlanti has also expressed a desire to increase the diversity of the "Legends" team, and introducing Lady Blackhawk could do just that.

"[S]ince we started out doing 'Arrow' and since, diversity has been we've said, and we'll say it again, our heroes are only they need to represent the people that they're saving, and the world isn't singularly white," said Berlanti during a presentation at the 2016 TCAs. "And so, yeah, that's a desire. It makes the storytelling more interesting. It allows for us to go to more interesting places and keep working with better and better talent. That being said, I think everybody can take things even further. I don't think we, by any means, look at this ensemble and think it's even as diverse as it should be or could be even another two or three years from now in front of and behind the camera. That's a real I think it's a real conversation point right now in Hollywood because it should be, and people should be talking about it and doing as much as they can to change the landscape."

Jefe de DC's Legends of Tomorrow habla sobre los villanos, los motivos de Rip Hunter y el plan de juego de la S2
Por Megan Vick | 20 enero, 2016 9:27 PM EST

The CW's superhero universe expands greatly on Thursday with the premiere of DC's Legends of Tomorrow. The series is lead by Arthur Darvill (Doctor Who) as a time master named Rip Hunter who bands together a group of ragtag heroes and misfits to take down the 4,000-year-old-immortal villain Vandal Savage (Casper Crump), who was introduced in The Flash/Arrow crossover in November.

The team is comprised of The Atom (Brandon Routh), Firestorm (Franz Drameh), Dr. Stein (Victor Garber), Sarah Lance (Caity Lotz), Hawkgirl (Ciara Renee), Hawkman (Falk Hentschel) and "villains" Captain Cold (Wentworth Miller) and Heatwave (Dominic Purcell). Together they will travel through time to learn more about Savage's ultimate plan and figure out a way to kill him before he can take over the world.

Executive producer Phil Klemmer spoke to TVGuide.com about what's in store for the group in the show's first season, Savage's power and of course, time travel. See his answers below.


What is it that makes Vandal Savage such an appealing villain?

Klemmer: Ultimately, getting at his rationale and understanding that he's not just subjugating mankind. He views himself as like a beneficent dictator. He sees what he's doing as integral to the survival of human kind. He's crazy as a s--thouse rat. He's totally out of his mind. He's totally cruel and sadistic. He's got a Messiah complex. Once we get into his underlying logic for why he's doing what he's doing, that's a super interesting turn we can reach by the end of the season. Even though he's immortal, he's still a human being and he has his reasons that are more than just, "to rule the world!" A good bad guy is when you don't have to love them, but you can understand them.

Rip Hunter is assembling the team, but how much action is he going to see once the team is together?

Klemmer: In Episode 3, we will flash back to a Rip back story. Like all things Rip, he only tells our heroes as little as they need to know. We will realize he's made a run at Vandal Savage before without our heroes and that run ended rather badly. We'll sort of answer the question of why he needed a team to do this. We'll see how he failed as an individual and his reasons revealed in the pilot aren't as altruistic as he makes them out to be. He has selfish and personal reasons for [going after Vandal]. In his mind, he thought this was going to be a two-hour movie.

How much can we expect The Flash and Arrow to be intermingled with Legends this season, especially considering the time travel component?

Klemmer: They have to produce their own shows so we can't borrow them willy-nilly, but hopefully we will see past and future incarnations of familiar faces. We will let our Legends delve into their own pasts and try to make changes, like we all would if we had the chance to go back in time and interact with our former selves. We'll also get to go to the future and see the consequences of removing ourselves from the time line.

Captain Cold and Heatwave are the only two non-traditional "heroes" going into this series. How long will they battle with that identity crisis?

Klemmer: I think they'll settle at different rates. It's interesting because it provides a source of conflict between those two. In the pilot, they are sort of a united front. They're partners. They're villains and everyone else is a goody, goody two shoes. Gradually, Leonard Snart (Miller) is able to evolve a little more quickly. The fact that this partnership, these two guys that only trust each other, are having to let themselves become encompassed by a team provides a source of conflict. The "bromance" of Rory (Purcell) and Snart is some juicy stuff. They're like an old married couple.

The producing team has been very clear that this is the cast they want to stick with, but is there room to invite someone like Constantine or other DC superheroes into the fold even if you aren't replacing the whole team?

Klemmer: There is definitely room. This season is meant to be a chapter in the anthology. We have no idea where we want to leave things after this season. Our team can have new members. It can have missing members. It can have people who switch sides. That's the great thing about this show. Season 2 is not meant to be a pressing of the reset button. We want to burn through all of the possible story we can here. We want to make sure that we can never go home again, that the dynamics of this season will be irrevocably changed. Our team for Season 2, if not in the [physical] makeup of the team, will be changed in the way that [the characters] will be different [people]. Season 1 is meant to be standalone. We want to leave everything on the field and figure Season 2 out later.

‘Legends of Tomorrow’ adelanta nuevos detalles sobre Connor Hawke de DC
Por Kevin Fitzpatrick | 21 Enero, 2016

The CW’s Legends of Tomorrow will take their first official flight with tonight’s premiere, just a scant trip or two to 1975, but the DC drama will get much weirder with its comic canon in upcoming episodes. To wit, we now know for sure an upcoming will introduce Green Arrow legacy character Connor Hawke, and very likely the episode to do it.

We’d heard a few months back that the Arrow-Flash spinoff might introduce an iteration of Connor Hawke, canonically the child of Oliver Queen and his African-American/Korean college girlfriend Sandra Hawke, though at the time reports claimed the character would have no direct lineage to The CW’s Oliver. Specifically, casting had called for “an African-American or biracial male who decides to put on the uniform of a missing hero who once stood for justice and hope.”

Meanwhile, a new interview with Entertainment Weekly sees Legends producer Marc Guggenheim directly discussing Connor, as well as some of the timey-wimey rules that allow him aboard:

Part of the conceit of the show and going all throughout time is the fact that we can visit all these different corners of the DC Universe. The show functions on a lot of different levels, but one of the levels it functions on is as a love letter to the DC Universe, and Connor is a great example of that.

Adds executive producer Phil Klemmer:

We can go back and see the pre-history of both Arrow and Flash, and we can also go and see what season 50 of Flash or Arrow would look like. But if we return to Star City or Central City, what we’re looking at is not just the future, but an It’s a Wonderful Life future, because in this future, our guys have been gone for 50 years. They left in 2016 never to return.

Klemmer also teased a future version of Star City in an interview with KSiteTV, more than likely our encounter with Connor Hawke (and potentially an older version of Oliver) in the season’s sixth episode:

We do have plans to visit Star City in the fairly distant future, to see the consequences of the removal of our Legends from their own timelines. We will get a Ghost of Christmas Future in Star City. But we do not have plans as of yet to see any of the dead Queens or Tommy, no … That episode is number 6, and it’s called “Star City 2146.”

Granted, the year 2146 would take some explaining to involve an older Oliver (bosses at least confirm the series will feature older or younger versions of Oliver or Barry at some point), it seems most likely our time to meet Connor Hawke, as well to explain this shot of Oliver’s abandoned lair from the trailer:

Showrunner Compara "Legends of Tomorrow" con una familia disfuncional de "Star Trek"
Por Jonah Weiland 21 enero 2016

A spinoff series from "Arrow" and "The Flash" was first rumored last February and ordered to series in May. Tonight, all of the waiting and all of the hard work pays off when The CW debuts its hotly anticipated third DC Comics-based series, "DC's Legends of Tomorrow."

The series follows time-traveling rogue Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) as he assembles a team of heroes and villains first introduced on "Arrow" and "The Flash" including Professor Martin Stein (Victor Garber) Ray Palmer AKA Atom (Brandon Routh), White Canary (Caity Lotz). Hawkgirl (Ciarra Renee), Hawkman (Falk Hentschel), Firestorm (Franz Drameh), Heat Wave (Dominic Purcell) and Captain Cold (Wentworth Miller). Their mission: travel through time to stop immortal villain Vandal Savage (Casper Crump) from destroying the past, present and future and, in the process, become legends.

With the series premiere airing tonight at 8, CBR's Jonah Weiland spoke with "Legends of Tomorrow" showrunner Phil Klemmer about the series and why fans of the CW's other super hero shows should definitely expect the unexpected. The "Veronica Mars" and "Chuck" veteran explains how the series will function as "super heroes after hours" with the team trapped with each other on the Waverider 24 hours a day, why they don't need alter egos and the fallout of anyone trying to alter their past or future during their larger mission.

In the first half of the interview, Phil Klemmer explains why "Legends of Tomorrow" is not a typical network and will be wildly different than even "The Flash" and "Arrow" that it spins out, nor will each episode or season be like any other. of and won't be the same episode to episode or season to season. He also discusses how the writers have managed to find the human aspect amid the superhuman exploits and time travel the show is centered around, and which character's growth has surprised him.
On how different "Legends of Tomorrow" from "The Flash" and "Arrow":

Phil Klemmer: It's hard to explain. When you start on a show you go so deep into he world that you so quickly lose your bearings that it seems normal and it's not until other people look into it from the outside that they can point out that you are living in a bizarre world. To me, I'd never worked in anything comic book or super hero before. The closest thing would be "Chuck," but this feels utterly familiar. It's strange how, it's like when you get into a bath and the temperature changes, you don't really notice it. All of the sudden I see posters when I'm driving around town and I'm like, "Oh my god, that's my show. That's our show." I never thought I would be doing something like that but it feels comfortable because to me the characters aren't superheroes, they're humans who happen to also be superheroes or villains.

On how the series can maintain its grounded, human aspects while dealing with super powers and time travel:

Most superhero stories you have people existing in two worlds where you have an alter ego and, you know, that you have to be Bruce Wayne during the day so that you can be Batman at night. In our show there's no need to ever inhabit you're sort of civilian alter ego. Our people are who they are 24 hours a day. The only thing that I think would "ground" them is the fact that they're all together on the Waverer, this time traveling space ship. The best way I can describe it is it's sort of like "Big Brother" in the sky where it is a domestic, you know, it is like they're all living under the same roof. And yes they travel through time and they try to stop Vandal Savage, and you're right, there are these incredible action spectacle setpieces, but in their down time they're living on a space ship together. So it is like the crew of "Star Trek" where they have to exist. There's no enemies on the Waverider except for each other. All of the sort of -- the writ large super hero story all of a sudden gets condensed and it really is about people living together under the same roof. Then to me the story becomes about a dysfunctional family because people aren't using their powers, Ray Palmer is not The Atom. It's really fun to write because it is super heroes after hours [Laughs] when people can shed the proverbial cape and exist like human beings. That's when you get at sort of the underlying pathology of "What made you a hero?" or "What made you a villain?" Since we are with these people for 16 episodes, it's not like they're black hats and white hats. We're watching people evolve. The more you hang out with people, the more you sort of take on their attributes and Leonard Snart hanging out with Ray Palmer, they're rubbing off on each other, and to me that's super fun.

On how the show is built so future seasons will be totally different:

Greg [Berlanti], Andrew [Kreisberg] and Marc [Guggenheim] selected the initial cast of characters. I can only imagine that their sort of impulse was just the maximalist, where if one is good, eight is great. The idea of doing a team-up show is so delicious that you do get to go back to, look at all the guest stars and to ask yourself the question, "Who didn't we get enough time with?" and "Who would we want that person to interact with?"

Rip Hunter is the glue that sort of holds everybody together in this season, but I think the tensions in the team and the sort of perilousness of their endeavor will tell the audience that this isn't going to be a sort of traditional network show where we as writers find some clever way to basically hit the reset button at the end of these 16 and Episode 2x01 is 'How can we stop Vandal Savage from destroying the world in the exact same way that we did last season?' We're hoping to burn through story and to burn through our sort of character conflicts that we created so we can invent new ones in the second season.

In the final part of the discussion, Klemmer explains more about who Rip Hunter is and his arc over the series, where the team will head in addition to the 1970s and the Old West, as well as whether any specific DC Comics storylines have influenced upcoming episodes. He also talks about the temptation for characters to alter their pasts and futures and the ramifications of those decisions on the team and the world around them.
On who Rip Hunter is and where the show will take him:

He is a good man, but he's also a man with a mission that's larger than himself, and that's larger than the team. What we sort of get at in these early episodes is the way he sells this mission to the team -- it's not as simple as he made it sound. One thing we always say, Rip Hunter sort of goes into this series thinking that it's going to be just one episode. Of course the complications that force our team to be on this journey for an entire season, you start to realize that he withheld a lot of information from them.

On whether the show will deal with the characters encountering their older or younger selves as they travel through time:

The only way to sort of ground something as saving the world from an immortal future despot is you have to leaven that with human scale stories. Like I said, our characters are super heroes out in the world, but on the ship they're human beings. To me this show would get pretty boring if it were just about us and Vandal having some diametric clash every episode. So even though that sort of informs every story, you know we have eight people on our team and while the A-team is off dealing with Vandal Savage and saving the world, you know, while the cat's away you can't blame people for checking the calendar and being like, "You know what, while I'm back here there's a couple things I'd like to change. So you have these side missions where people can delve into their own past or take a peek at their own future, which is obviously just as dangerous. Part of the fun of the show is, in addition to dealing with Vandal Savage, we have to deal with the ripple we create in the timeline and the inadvertent butterfly effects we have on our own futures and the future of the world. Sometimes in trying to fix things for ourselves we can screw things up for other people.

Brandon Routh habla sobre " Legends of Tomorrow"
Por Craig Byrne 21 Enero, 2016

DC’s Legends of Tomorrow premieres TONIGHT at 8PM (ET/PT) on The CW, as we see a group of icons from the DC Comics world introduced in Arrow and The Flash uniting and traveling through time to stop the threat of Vandal Savage.

One of the most prominent characters in Legends of Tomorrow is Ray Palmer, played by Brandon Routh, an actor you might remember as having a big DC Comics pedigree. Routh played Superman in the 2006 film Superman Returns, and then he came on to Season 3 as Arrow as Palmer, who had a flying suit that gave him the power of the Atom. Some fans might have cried “Iron Man,” but earlier this season, it was seen that Ray now has the ability to shrink, much like his comic book counterpart.

You can watch video of our interview with Routh from the Vancouver studio of Legends below; if the written word is more your thing, a transcription follows.

Ray and Sara both came “back from the dead” and now they’re joining this team. What is their dynamic going to be like?

It’s a little bit yet to be unveiled. We’ve had group scenes and little asides to each other – little pieces here and there – but that’s a combo that hasn’t been established yet. Ray and Sara, Ray and Rip, and Ray and Jax really haven’t had too much character interaction other than “we gotta do this, we gotta do that.” Mission type stuff. I look forward to it.

We’ve seen a picture of you with Mick and Captain Cold in the bushes. What’s the dynamic like for those characters? That seems like a fun dynamic.

I am having a lot of fun with it, and the writers are having fun making a team of us. And we learn a lot. Ray’s learning a lot from Captain Cold and Heat Wave, about himself, that maybe he doesn’t know everything about everything, and there’s value in having these guys a part of the team. You can understand why Rip would bring these guys along. Most of the stuff I’ve had has been with them. Putting the two polar opposites or the three polar opposites together has made fireworks in its own ways, and fun story stuff, I think. Comedy and drama, alike.

Would Ray use the time machine to save Anna?

Oh, I think the temptation is certainly there. I think he certainly wouldn’t put it past himself to at least think about it and entertain the idea

How is Ray dealing with all of this?

He’s extremely psyched about it. I think he’s the most gung-ho of anybody in this journey. Certainly about the time travel, and the science, and “how does it work” and all of that stuff. He and Professor Stein go back and forth, theorizing about how this is even possible. He really thinks it’s awesome.

Because of the nature, the epicness of the journey, that’s really what excites him about joining Rip’s team. It’s a bigger, more epic journey, and he’s all about that.

Does he ever get homesick?

No homesickness yet, necessarily. I think things that happen throughout the first five episodes certainly make him think about his past and have some nice emotional moments to consider the journey. But not yet. When he goes, he has a solid reason and belief and focus of why he is going on the mission.

Is his personality changed at all after what he went through on Arrow?

He didn’t come back from the dead. He just came back from anyone knowing that he’s alive. A little bit different. I mean, a certain kind of insanity could certainly ensue from being that way for six months. The journey changed him. What he did — and I think he compartmentalizes it a little bit, that experience — but it’s what he comes back to, the state of his company, the state of his life, the city…. “Did he have impact, or did he not?” I think is his journey. Processing all of that is all part of the shift of his being gone, and being away, and coming back.

Will we see more of what happened to Ray during that downtime, and how he dealt with that world?

There was talk about that. I don’t know i that will ever be — I think that was kind of a wish list thing, certainly for me. It would have been cool. But I don’t know if that’s going to happen or not. I don’t think there’s enough worked into the current storyline, of the fact of Ray in that time, for it to work right now. That’s why the changes have come mostly from him coming back into the world versus the experience that he had.

We may go back and play in that world a little bit. Or, something like that might happen again. Certainly, there will be adventures of Ray being small and fighting bugs and other things that seem bigger than life to him, at some point down the road. I certainly talk about the Sword of the Atom stuff all the time. Mostly because I want to have a sword, and I want to sword fight in the Atom suit, or just as Ray.

Wouldn’t The CW want to get you in that loin cloth?

[Laughs] Well, I don’t know if I’d change the suit. I don’t think I’d go that far. That’d be a long couple of days of shooting. A lot of working out.

Will there be any alterations to the Atom costume in the new series?

No changes necessarily as of right now. We just changed a little bit of the lighting mechanism in the helmet so that you can see my face a little bit better. As of right now, but we’re early.

What are the interactions like between Ray and Stein?

There’s a little bit of a competition, and there’s a little bit of a history, actually, between the two of them, which we find out through the course of the first couple episodes, which, then you understand a little bit of the back and forth.

Legends of Tomorrow es más como Star Wars que como Flash o Arrow
Por Jean Bentley Thu, 21 Enero, 2016 10:51 PM

The CW's newest DC Comics show, Legends of Tomorrow, has a bunch of familiar faces (literally all but one of said Legends have been introduced on either The Flash or Arrow over the past several years). But it doesn't really feel like either of its superhero show predecessors. In fact, it has a lot more in common with a little movie franchise you might've heard of: Star Wars.

You know, that old movie from the ‘70s? Star Brandon Routh, who plays Ray Palmer/The Atom, says his new show does have that old-school Star Wars feel. "That camaraderie and how you have the wry humor and the acerbic nature…there is some of that in the relationships that we're building, and that's the core of the show," he tells E! News.

In tonight's series premiere, you'll see how each of the team members (Hawkman, Hawkgirl, Captain Cold, Heat Wave, Firestorm, White Canary, and their time travel guru, Rip Hunter) come together to form their time-traveling group of misfits tasked with stopping the immortal villain Vandal Savage

Explains Routh, "We're obviously fighting Vandal Savage but [the relationships are] what the show's about: It's about us and how we help and hurt each other to save the day, at its core. Without that, the show's just explosions. It is kind of Oceans 11 with time travel. Something's always happening."

Star Dominic Purcell, who plays Mick Rory/Heat Wave, has another comparison: "It's very similar in scope to Marvel's The Avengers, but it's the DC version," he tells us.

The show will skip around through different decades as the group tries different ways to stop Vandal Savage. In the premiere they head to the ‘70s, and they'll go to the ‘80s, the future, and the distant past.

"We spend about two episodes in each time. Each couple of episodes is almost its own show," explains Routh." It has a very unique feel, the dress changes and what we're doing changes, so it almost changes tonally how the show feels."

Says star Caity Lotz, who plays Sara Lance/White Canary, "Each time, you're doing totally different hair, totally different makeup, totally different costumes. On Arrow, I was always in Sara's pants and a t-shirt, or the Canary costume. Now I rarely wear the Canary costume, which is kind of nice, because those things are so uncomfortable. It's fun to switch it up. You don't get bored."

While Routh doesn't have a favorite decade just yet, the latest era he filmed was pretty exciting. "We're doing one upcoming—which I can't talk about, which is a bigger leap in some ways—that I'm excited for, that I wasn't expecting because they said we weren't going to go too far."

Purcell already has a request for a future destination: "I do have a love for the '20s," he admits. "I must have lived there in a past life. That's one place I'd love for Mick Rory to visit. He'd cause so much havoc; he'd love it."

Lotz would also love to head to the early 20th century. "I'd like to go to the roaring '20s in Berlin," she says. "Just seems like an artistic explosion of culture."

Dominic Purcell sobre Heat Wave y el interpretar al héroe más reluctante de la serie
Por Christina Radish 21 enero, 2015

On The CW series Legends of Tomorrow, Time Master Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) travels 150 years back into the past from2166, to assemble a carefully selected team of heroes and rogues that he hopes will be able to stop the immortal villain Vandal Savage (Casper Crump) and save the world from total chaos and destruction. If they’re ever going to succeed, billionaire inventor Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh), aka the Atom, Sara Lance (Caity Lotz), now known as the White Canary, professor Martin Stein (Victor Garber) and Jefferson Jackson (Franz Drameh), who together form the meta-human Firestorm, Leonard Snart (Wentworth Miller), aka Captain Cold, Mick Rory (Dominic Purcell), aka Heat Wave, and Kendra Saunders (Ciara Renée) and Carter Hall (Falk Hentschel), who are really Hawkgirl and Hawkman, must find common ground and a way to work together.

While at the TCA Press Tour, actor Dominic Purcell spoke to Collider for this exclusive interview about playing a character who always speaks the truth, why things just work so well between him and Wentworth Miller, why Mick Rory is so damaged, what he most likes about his character, what he thinks of the rest of the team, how he views Vandal Savage, tension between Mick Rory and Leonard Snart, and his character’s sense of humor.

Collider: This character must be an absolute blast to play!

DOMINIC PURCELL: I don’t really know what’s going on, in terms of the reaction of this thing, because I’m just in the thick of doing my job. But Peter Roth, the head of Warner Bros., came up to me like a fanboy and said, “Oh, my god, I love Mick Rory! Every time I see him, I just laugh and laugh and laugh!” So, that’s a good start. People love him because he just speaks the truth. We love those kind of characters.

What does your own previous relationship with Wentworth Miller add to the dynamic between Mick Rory and Leonard Snart?

PURCELL: We just know each other’s acting rhythms and personal rhythms so intricately. We know each other very well. He’s one of my closest friends. I consider him family. When we work opposite each other, it’s just there.

We’ve gotten to know Heat Wave a bit on The Flash, but we’ll really get to know him on Legends of Tomorrow. Has anything surprised you about who he is and what you’ve learned about his background?

PURCELL: No, not yet. We have a history. His father was an abusive alcoholic and he got abandoned from an orphanage, so he hit the streets. That’s his personal history, and that’s going to damage any person.

Does Mick ever get jealous that Firestorm has the natural ability to do with fire what he has to have a weapon to do?

PURCELL: Oh, yeah! He would love to do that shit. Fuck yeah! Absolutely! Somebody asked me how Mick Rory would survive without heat gun, if he had to go up against another superhero, and I said, “Mick Rory is a survivor. He’d work out a fucking way to survive.”

Do you think that is what draws him to Sara Lance?

PURCELL: Yeah, I sense that. There is certainly something there that he has for her. He doesn’t know what it is, but there’s something there. I think he respects the fact that a woman is taking charge. He likes that.

With this new team, will we see Mick wanting to work with people outside of Leonard Snart?

PURCELL: I don’t know. I love the team. We did an episode where it was just Mick Rory and Ray Palmer, and I love working with Brandon [Routh]. We’re polar opposites in personalities. In real life, our psychologies are completely different. But, Mick Rory likes Ray.

Do you think Mick is surprised that he likes anyone on this team that he’s found himself a part of?

PURCELL: Yeah, he is kind of surprised. He doesn’t really like anyone. But he wants off the ship. He doesn’t really want anything to do with the ship. He wants off. The only reason he joined was to go back in time and steal shit, and now he wants to fucking get off. He’s over it, and people are pissing him off. Everyone pisses Mick off.

Is it fun for Mick to see other people on this team also get angry sometimes?

PURCELL: Yeah, he appreciates like-minded fellows. Mick is a force of nature. He reacts instantly, on instinct. Everything is reactionary. There’s no filter. Everything is on an edge, all the time. He probably gets about an hour of sleep, every night. He’s just that guy.

How do you view Mick Rory? Do you see him as the hero of his own story, or do you see him as a villain?

PURCELL: Yes, Mick is a killer, but at the same time, you want to see the humanity in him, as well. That’s the thing that draws people in. You don’t want to play it like Hannibal Lecter. People just aren’t interested in that. I would play it like that, if it was written like that, but it’s not written like that. Maybe I’m just speaking shit, but The Joker and Mick Rory would be friends, I would imagine. I could see those two sitting in a bar and talking shit. I could see that happen.

What does Mick think of Rip Hunter?

PURCELL: He doesn’t like him. He hates him. He’s only on board because of Snart, to steal shit. He’s not interested in saving the world, or whatever. He doesn’t give a fuck about that shit. He just wants to steal shit.

Will he become attached enough to change his mind?

PURCELL: Not yet. Not that I’ve seen. But, the dynamic between Snart and Rory will dramatically change. I can’t tell you why, but it’s changed.

Is that because their philosophies shift while they’re working with these people?

PURCELL: Yes. Basically, Mick wants off, but for some reason, Snart is still hanging in there a bit more. Mick is like, “What the fuck are you doing?! Let’s get the fuck out of here and go back home.” And Snart is like, “No, we need to do this.” Mick is like, “What the fuck?!” That’s where it’s at.

What does Mick think of Vandal Savage?

PURCELL: Anyone who’s a threat to Mick, he wants to take out. He sees Vandal as a threat. He doesn’t love all like-minded bad guys. He sees Vandal Savage as an asshole and he wants to kill him. Mick is a survivor. That’s one of the things I love about him most. He’s lived a really fucking hard life, and he says it like it is. It’s very similar to me.

Do you enjoy getting to do such physical work?

PURCELL: I do. It gets me into character. As an actor, I’m never out of the zone. I have gears, but I’m always around my character’s headspace.

Do you get Mick’s sense of humor?

PURCELL: I’m indirectly funny. I’m not trying to be funny. People laugh at me because I’m so fucking serious all the time, and they find that hysterical. It’s the same with Mick. Obviously, that’s coming through in my performance.

Well, good luck with this show and have a great time with it!

PURCELL: I’m so fucking stoked! I’ve been touched by an angel, really, at the end of the day. It’s going to be huge. The show is going to be a monster, but it has to be. People are so versed in this genre now that, if you’re going to put out a superhero show, it’s gotta be big, or go home. There’s another show on another network that I could talk about, which I won’t because it’s a dog when you compare it against what it’s supposed to be.

Las estrellas de ‘DC’s Legends of Tomorrow’ adelantan su equipo viajero del tiempo
Por Laura Prudom 21 enero, 2016 | 02:12PM PT

If you’re a fan of The CW’s “Arrow” or “The Flash,” you probably recognize most of the cast members populating their midseason spinoff series “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow,” but even if the heroes (and villains) are familiar, the stars promise that the show has plenty of new tricks to differentiate it from its predecessors.

“I did have to adjust,” admits Brandon Routh, who has played tech genius Ray Palmer (aka The Atom) on “Arrow” since Season 3. “Ray’s a little bit different [in ‘Legends’], he’s not commanding anything. It’s definitely different to sit back, and I feel myself in scenes going ‘this is different,’ because usually I was the one telling everyone what to do, in a nice way … It’s almost like Ray has to depend on people [now], which is a more vulnerable place to be.”

“The main question was, ‘is there a script? Is there something to read?’ And the answer was no,” Wentworth Miller laughs, recalling his early discussions with the producers before signing on to the series. “The answer was, ‘this is a leap of faith,’ and I was willing to take that leap because it’s [executive prodcer] Greg Berlanti. I saw what he did with ‘Arrow,’ saw what he did with ‘The Flash,’ saw that Victor Garber was on board. There were a lot of reasons to say yes.”

Miller has become a scene-stealer on “The Flash” as one of the show’s most formidable recurring foes, Captain Cold (aka Leonard Snart), and the actor was interested in the opportunity to explore new sides of the villain in the spinoff. “The enticement was, you’ve seen him as a spice character — what else is there? If we actually spent more time with Snart, what would we learn?” he offers. “That’s been interesting for me and the writers to explore, because he’s charismatic and edgy and mysterious and there’s the hint of menace; we don’t want that to go away by telling you too much – we don’t want that to dissipate, so how do we supplement it?”

While some of the team’s members are tempted by the offer of becoming a “legend” when time-travelling hero Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) comes to recruit them to save the future, that’s not the case for one character, Sara Lance (Caity Lotz), who was resurrected by “Arrow’s” mythical Lazarus Pit and is now trying to fight the violent bloodlust brought on by her brush with death in her new guise as White Canary.

“Sara’s not somebody who has a huge ego; it’s not about becoming a legend – for her it’s about finding a purpose for her life and somewhere she can feel like she belongs,” Lotz says, noting that while her character — who is openly bisexual — may find an intimate connection or two during her trip through time, the season is “not about love for her … It’s about Sara finding herself. She’s got her own issues and demons and things that she needs to deal with.”

Love is on the agenda for Ciara Renee’s Kendra Saunders (aka Hawkgirl), whether she likes it or not. As one half of a reincarnated couple destined to find each other in every generation, Kendra and her soulmate, Carter (Falk Hentschel) are also inexorably tied to Vandal Savage (Casper Crump), the villain of “Legends,” who was first introduced in the recent “Arrow” and “Flash” crossover event, in which he attempted to kill the Hawks to help fuel his immortality.

“Coming from the crossover into ‘Legends,’ she’s starting to accept more that this is a path she needs to follow, she can’t really get out of it,” Renee says of Kendra’s apparent destiny. “I think she’s excited that maybe there is a way to change this cycle that’s been happening for so long; maybe there is a chance to rewrite destiny. That’s at least what Rip Hunter is offering. So even if she still is reluctant to remember her past lives and to be a superhero, which wasn’t ever really her plan, I think she’s settling into it more because she’s realizing ‘okay, I’m in it now, this guy’s after me, no escape.’ We see a more accepting Kendra in ‘Legends.'”

Kendra will also experience some growing pains as she tries to acclimate to the superhero life, Renee says. “As far as where she stands in relation to the team, she’s a little bit of an outlier in a way, because this is all focused on her storyline and she’s the one who was like ‘I don’t wanna be a superhero, I don’t really know what I’m doing, why is this happening to me?’ Everyone else is like ‘alright, let’s do it.’”

Although we may see more familiar faces from the worlds of “Arrow” and “Flash” on “Legends,” don’t expect the time-hopping shenanigans to spill over onto the other series going forward. “Once ‘Legends’ is born in January, there’s really no intersection [with it] on the other shows,” executive producer Greg Berlanti recently told reporters. “‘Legends’ is kind of its own wacky, crazy kind of thing that allows for some fun surprises in terms of who may visit and how because they’re flying through the timeline and you’ll start to see more of that. But not on ‘Arrow’ or ‘Flash.’”

“Legends” hails from Bonanza Productions, Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros. TV with Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim, Andrew Kreisberg, Phil Klemmer and Sarah Schechter exec producing. The series also stars Victor Garber (Dr. Martin Stein/Firestorm), Dominic Purcell (Mick Rory/Heat Wave) and Franz Drameh (Jay Jackson).
