Meet the Waverider’s newest recruit: Legends of Tomorrow has cast Lisseth Chavez (Chicago P.D.) in the series-regular role of alien expert Esperanza “Spooner” Cruz, TVLine has learned.

The character joins the time ship crew in Season 6, which finds co-captains Sara Lance and Ava Sharpe and their teaming “hunting down extraterrestrials who have been displaced throughout history,” per the official synopsis. “After Sara is abducted by a ruthless alien, this new mission becomes personal. It will take more than the combined powers of the Legends to save the world for a sixth time.” Enter Spooner, “a woman uniquely qualified to help the team defeat their intergalactic foes. Either that or she’s just crazy…”

The “tough and self-sufficient” Spooner “lives off the grid, devising ingenious tech for the detection of — and defense against — space aliens,” reads the character description. “And while some might call her paranoid, she calls it being prepared. A survivor of a childhood alien encounter, Spooner now believes she has the ability to communicate telepathically with aliens.”

And though Spooner may be a resource for the Legends, she won’t necessarily be buds with them. “She is not going to be the lovable loser that we normally have,” executive producer Grainne Godfree shared during the show’s complete DC FanDome panel (streaming on demand through Sunday, Sept. 13 at 1 pm ET). “She’s going to be someone who is pretty tough and gives it to the other Legends, and they’re going all have to react to her, and I think it’s going to throw them off their feet a little bit.”

She sound almost exactly like Zari 1.0.

Thanks, Melissa. Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Boring casting.

They're just replacing Zari 1.0 with her, since they're not bringing Zari 1.0 back. Recycling characters and storylines, that's what the writers are good at now.

Nothing about the next season sounds good thus far.

**stlavin95** · 09-14-2020, 10:30 PM

Which sucks

Apparently S6 is going to have 13 episodes

Dominic Purcell said the season is 15 episodes.

Just hope it's a decent season...

**PhoenixRising** · 11-03-2020, 07:28 PM

I guess it's a shortened season.

**stlavin95** · 11-07-2020, 03:16 PM

Which I'm not complaining about tbh

**eternalfate** · 11-08-2020, 09:03 PM

15 episodes isn't considered shortened for Legends, they always have around that many episodes per season.
