With Season 3 of Legends of Tomorrow coming to a close, we saw the departure of two characters from the main cast of Legends. While Amaya (Maisie Richardson-Sellers) left the team on her own accord, we witnessed Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) heroically sacrificed himself, attempting to take down the season's big-bad along with him and buy some time for the escaping Legends.
According to Legends of Tomorrow showrunner and executive producer Marc Guggenheim, we could possibly see both Rip and Amaya in the future, with differing degrees of certainty.
Here's what he told Entertainment Weekly:
Yes, Maisie will absolutely be back. We just felt like we owed it to the character to complete this arc, complete this story loop that we got her in. Once we took her off of her path in 1942, it was always incumbent upon us to return her to that path. That was something that hung over us as writers, and hung over the character… I’m looking forward to a different storyline for Amaya next year. We’ll reveal our plans for Maisie’s character at Comic-Con this year.
So we'll definitely be seeing Amaya back on-board the Waverider when next season rolls around.
Guggenheim also revealed that, should the story call for it, we could also see Rip make a return as well.
We love Arthur, we love having Arthur on the show, and I think Arthur enjoys being on the show.
Because it’s a time travel show, and because we never saw a body, anything is possible. I think Arthur is totally willing to come back and play with us if we have a cool idea.
What do you think about the showrunner's comments? Would you like to see Amaya and/or Rip make a return in the next season of Legends of Tomorrow?
