When The CW first announced theirArrowandThe FlashspinoffDC’s Legends of Tomorrow, the first cast members revealed wereBrandon Routh(Atom) andCaity Lotz(White Canary) fromArrow, andVictor Garber(Dr. Martin Stein/Firestorm) andWentworth Miller(Captain Cold) fromThe Flash. As fans ofThe Flashknow, Martin Stein is just one half of Firestorm, with the other half portrayed byRobbie Amell’s Ronnie Raymond. While several other cast members have since been confirmed, The CW has not revealed ifRobbie Amellwill cross over to this spinoff. Today,Victor Garberconfirmed that he will reunite withRobbie Amellin the Season 2 premiere ofThe Flash, but he wouldn’t say if his co-star is coming toDC’s Legends of Tomorrow.
“Robbie and I will be joined on the first episode of the [next] season ofThe Flash, and then we’ll see what happens.”
Since it requires both characters working as a unit to bring Firestorm to life, many fans have wondered how this dynamic will work, if only one of them is onDC’s Legends of Tomorrow. PerhapsThe FlashSeason 2 premiere will feature a story that allows each of them to portray Firestorm independently, but that’s only speculation at this point. It’s also worth noting that, inThe Flashseason finale last month, Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) traveled through a wormhole, which some speculate may have created a whole new timeline.
The CW has already ordered 15 episodes ofDC’s Legends of Tomorrow, which debuts in midseason, but it won’t be just a one-off limited series, with the actor teasing that The CW hopes for it to become an ongoing series, and discussing the dynamic of bringing both heroes and villains to work together.
“They (CW) aren’t going to introduce a limited series. This isn’t HBO. They want the Full Monty. That’s going to be the fun of it. We’re all these characters put together and we will see how we all function and attempt to do something together.”
While bothArrowandThe Flashwill return this fall, fans will have to wait a bit longer forDC’s Legends of Tomorrow, which is debuting sometime in midseason. Do you hope that both halves of Firestorm will be shown inDC’s Legends of Tomorrow? Chime in with your thoughts below.
