LEGENDS OF TOMORROW Will Have An Occult Focus In Season 3; Matt Ryan Sought For CONSTANTINE Guest Spot
After featuring science and time-travel adversaries, DC's Legends of Tomorrow will face a magic-oriented super villain group which has the producers "campaigning" for a Constantine appearance.
As we previously reported, Damian Darhk is set to be featured as an antagonist for the Legends of Tomorrow in season 3, along with Gorilla Grodd. But the two DC Comics supervillains will be part of a larger, magic-oriented group with its own nefarious agenda for the damaged timeline. Per IGN, this development has the showrunners, "campaigning for Matt Ryan's Constantine to appear." Whether they have to appeal to Ryan himself or their CW bosses remains unclear.
As for the leader of this occult-focused group, Legends showrunner Phil Klemmer stated, "This is a non-human entity. This is a much more supernatural, spooky vibe this season. We're dealing more with magic. It's less real-world bad guys."
Of course, the Legends will stil need to deal with various time maladies but where season 2 presented "aberrations," historic events that have been altered in some fashion; season 3 will showcase "anachronisms," cases of famous historical figures being transplanted to different time periods than their own. Executive producer Marc Guggenheim teased that the mystical baddies will have more rotating members than season 2's Legion of Doom (Reverse-Flash, Malcolm Merlyn, Captain Cold and Damian Darhk).
Wentowrth Miller is also confirmed to be featured in a guest spot, playing a "bizarro" version of Captain Cold.
Legends of Tomorrow season 3 premieres on Tuesday, October 10, 2017 at 9PM.
