Brandon Routh Confirms That Ray Palmer Will Lead The LEGENDS OF TOMORROW

Based on the first promotional image and trailer for the CW's Legends of Tomorrow (and previous hintings), it certainly felt like Brandon Routh's Ray Palmer would be front and centre in the spin-off. Speaking to ComicBook.com, the actor confirmed that that he will lead the outlandish group of heroes (and Rogues), but will retain the character's energetic and light mood in Arrow over to the new show. "I think he’ll have a similar purpose, bringing the comedy as well as the superhero stuff," he explained. "But I think Ray will tend to be a little more of a leader of the team, having been a businessman and running Palmertech, being a billionaire, he knows how to bring people together and have them work as a team." Are you looking forward to seeing more of the Atom (and the rest of the team) in Legends?


Time-traveling rogue Rip Hunter must assemble a disparate group of both heroes and villains to confront an unstoppable threat to the planet…and to time itself. DC's Legends of Tomorrow is coming soon to The CW.
