Robbie Amell's absence from The CW's Legends Of Tomorrow promo hasn't gone unnoticed by fans, and many have even begun to worry about the future of 'Ronnie Raymond' in the DCTV universe. While Victor Garber's 'Martin Stein' has been confirmed as a series regular for the upcoming spin-off, the other half of 'Firestorm''s role appears far less certain. Amell played coy when asked about this by MovieWeb, choosing to instead direct focus to his role on The Flash:

"All of those [Legends Of Tomorrow] questions will be answered shortly, but I can't actually tell you anything about it. What I can tell you is I'm going back to shoot more episodes of The Flash in July."

"I haven't gotten any scripts yet, but it picks up immediately where the finale left off, because it was such a big cliffhanger... The nice thing about the finale was getting to actually play Ronnie. You saw Ronnie in my first episode, and then I was this schizophrenic, frightened man, and then I was trying to figure things out with my other half, and I finally got to kind of play Ronnie in the finale. I was enjoying that character. I'd like to play more with that, and the relationship with Danielle Panabaker's character Caitlin, but I always have so much fun shooting with Victor, so anything else Victor and I can shoot together would be great."



Amell's future on The Flash appears pretty secure at least, so fans probably shouldn't expect the worst for his character. That said, if Ronnie isn't in Legends Of Tomorrow in a regular capacity, could we expect a new host of the Firestorm matrix? Or do you believe Dr. Stein's role in the spin-off will focus more his brains than his powers? Leave your thoughts and theories in the comments below!

At least Robbie seems to be a better actor than his cousin.

Firestorm was one of my favorite characters on the first season, hopefully he does get more screen time. There is a TON of fun stuff they could do with both voices working in one head

Ronnie Raymond will always be Firestorm to me so I hope that he maybe just takes a break while the Flash explores an alternate timeline that causes Franz Drameh to become part of the Matrix. I though Robbie Amell did a great job and I am surprised at how closely they stuck to the Firestorm comic material after what we've gotten from Smallville and then Arrow.

Who knew that the most confusing thing going into S2 of The Flash will be what the hell is going on with Ronnie.

I like Robbie. He's come a long way since the "Tomorrow People".

The problem with Supergirl connecting to the Arrow/Flash universe is that (in Supergirl), Superman has been doing his thing at least 10 years now. Kara landed o Earth at about the age of 13 i believe, and Supes is already known. 10-11 years later, Kara becomes Supergirl. So it's kimda hard to connect a flying alien who has been around for at least 10 years to the Arrow/Flash universe which does not even acknowledge the existence of aliens.
Batman would be a much better fit

They haven't disavowed the exsistence of aliens. so throwing superman and supergirl into the mix would not be problematic.
