CW'S SUPERHEROES RETURN! HOW ARROW, FLASH, SUPERGIRL, AND LEGENDS WILL SAVE THE DAY IN 2017
THE SHOWRUNNERS FROM THE CW'S FOUR SUPERHERO SHOWS TEASE THEIR MAJOR FOUR-PART CROSSOVER, NEW VILLAINS, MARRIAGE, AND MORE.

The CW’s superheroes will each have some potentially world-destroying problems to deal with when the four series — Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow — return over the next week.

On the sixth season of Arrow, not everyone will make it off Lian Yu alive. In season 4 of The Flash, Barry will have been gone from Central City for six months after appeasing the speedforce to save Iris’ live. On Supergirl season 3, Kara will have to come to terms with the major sacrifice she made to save Earth. And on the third season of Legends of Tomorrow, the team will be forced to fix the anachronisms and aberrations they caused when they visited a time to which they’d already traveled before.

Rotten Tomatoes spoke with the executive producers from each of the DC series about how their superheroes will save the day, which villains they’ll have to overcome this season, and new cast members, including genre favorites such as Smallville vet Erica Durance, Lost‘s Michael Emerson, Heroes star Adrian Pasdar and more.

LEGENDS OF TOMORROW
Premieres: Tuesday, Oct. 10 at 9 p.m.
Stars: Victor Garber, Brandon Routh, Dominic Purcell, Franz Drameh, Caity Lotz, Nick Zano, Maise Richardon-Sellers, Tala Ashe

Rotten Tomatoes: The show has reinvented itself every season. How do you think it’s reinventing itself this year?
Phil Klemmer: It’s funny because it happens so gradually, you don’t really realize it’s happening until you go back and look at any random old episode, and realize how far you’ve come. We’re not forcing it in a way that it’s not a conscious thing. In a way, this season, to me, feels like what the show was always meant to be, and last season feels like a transitional one. It really feels like it found its creative stride. Everybody’s having so much fun. It’s like for the first time everybody is on the same wavelength, and it’s kind of a magic moment for us.

Do you think that has just come with time and getting to know these characters, and also forging a role for these heroes within the larger Arrowverse?
We are the only ensemble show. In order for all of our actors to figure out where they belong, and for us as writers to figure out what to do with these characters, it almost took this incubation period because there’s so much of their actual personalities, and their actual dynamics with one another to come through in the show.

This season, is the Legends’ main goal to fix the anachronisms and aberrations they’ve caused?
It starts out that way, although even before that their first mission is to prove to Rip that they still belong in the time policing game. Because pretty early on in the premiere he makes the announcement of like, “Oh, it’s cool guys. I actually went back in time and created this Time Bureau, and we don’t need you anymore. So, thank you for everything.” And it’s our guys realizing like, “God, wait what do we if we’re not Legends? I’m no good at being a regular person in real life.”

So, the premiere is all about them sort of trying to get the band back together, and trying to prove to Rip that they’ve still got what it takes. For a while it seems like the season is gonna be about cleaning up their own mess. Given what the consequences are of having gone back in last year’s finale and interacted with their former selves and created a time paradox, as we get deeper into the mythology of season three we’ll realize that there’s more at stake than just these anachronisms. There’s a deeper evil afoot.

We wanted the villains of season three to be different, so the whole aesthetic is much more about magic and the world of the supernatural instead of fighting speedsters and former League of Assassins guys. We’re dealing with some supernatural evil, which is super cool.

What are some of the fun eras you’ll visit this season?
We get Billy Zane and the circus [in the second episode]; we get a little Julius Caesar on the beach in Aruba in the premiere. We meet [new team member] Zari in this sort of dystopian future. We get to do a little Amblin alien episode back in the ’80s; we do some Jack the Ripper Victorian London; Golden Age of Hollywood; John Constantine doing an exorcism. We do a Freaky Friday episode. The only thing we haven’t been able to do: We really wanted to do an Abba “Waterloo” in then Napoleonic wars but we could not get the rights for the song.

You can’t say much about the crossover, but what can you say about how everybody’s going to come together?
Getting to do the final episode is a huge treat. This season more than last, they’re all like part of a two-hour movie and, which means that we have the gigantic third act Avengers fight in the middle of the city. We also get to do the most tragic and heart-wrenching part of the story, which is weird ’cause normally we’re the funny show. We’re supposed to be the silly goofballs traveling through time, but just the way the story broke this year, we deal with the most heart-wrenching moment of [the episode]. The whole point of doing this show is doing something new every week, and with the crossover the new thing that we try on is tragedy.

‘Legends Of Tomorrow’ Spoilers: Matt Ryan’s John Constantine Confirmed For Season 3'

Matt Ryan is set to reprise his role as John Constantine in Season 3 of CW’s “Legends of Tomorrow.”

In a recent interview with Rotten Tomatoes, executive producer Phil Klemmer revealed that fans will see Ryan’s Constantine do an exorcism in an episode of the new season.

When asked what fun eras the show will get to visit this season, Klemmer said: “We get Billy Zane and the circus [in the second episode]; we get a little Julius Caesar (Simon Merrells) on the beach in Aruba in the premiere. We meet [new team member] Zari (Tala Ashe) in this sort of dystopian future. We get to do a little Amblin alien episode back in the 80s; we do some Jack the Ripper Victorian London; Golden Age of Hollywood; John Constantine doing an exorcism. We do a ‘Freaky Friday’ episode. The only thing we haven’t been able to do: We really wanted to do an Abba ‘Waterloo’ in then Napoleonic wars but we could not get the rights for the song.”

News of Ryan’s guest appearance comes two months after Klemmer told IGN at the Television Critics Association summer press tour that they were actively campaigning for the Welsh actor to appear on the series as the new season delves deeper into dark magic. “This is a much more supernatural, spooky vibe this season,” Klemmer said. “We’re dealing more with magic. It’s less real-world bad guys.”

Ryan originally played the role of Constantine in his own NBC series, which was cancelled after just one season. The 36-year-old actor later reprised his role in Season 4, episode 5 of “Arrow,” and is now set to voice the character in his own DC TV animated series.

In an interview with Digital Spy last year, Ryan said that he’s very eager to bring back Constantine in live action to complement the upcoming animated spinoff. “I’d be up for playing him again if an opportunity came along,” Ryan said at the time. “I felt that when the show got cancelled, there was a little bit of unfinished business — that we were just getting started, and finding what the tone and the pace of the show was. … There’s all these rumors going around that he’ll turn up on some of the other DC shows — I don’t know. But John’s such a character, you could drop him into any of those universes and he’d hold his own.”

LEGENDS OF TOMORROW: 6 TIME-BENDING SEASON 3 TEASES

Showrunner Phil Klemmer breaks down new and old foes, plus Rip Hunter’s Time Bureau.

If there's one thing the Legends of Tomorrow aren't great at, it's keeping the timeline intact. As the Season 3 finale came to a close, the team of misfits arrived back in modern day Los Angeles, only to find dinosaurs roaming the planet. That leaves them with a big problem to solve when Season 4 kicks off -- and some tough lessons to learn.

Perhaps the Legends aren't the ones that will be saving the world this year, though. Phil Klemmer, who serves as Executive Producer on Legends of Tomorrow, spoke with IGN about the new season, the scary villains it will bring and explains what, exactly, a Time Bureau does.

Rip Hunter and the Time Bureau
It should come as no surprise that Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) doesn't fit in with the Legends anymore. The rigid former Time Master is a stickler for the rules, which is where his new crew comes in.

"In our premiere, more horrifying than dinosaurs is the prospect that the Legends are no longer needed. We quickly put to bed the threat of these dinosaurs in LA by introducing Rip Hunter and his Time Bureau," Klemmer says. "He quickly announces he's gone back in time and founded this organization that's dedicated to dealing with these anachronisms that were caused by our team."

Unlike the Legends, led by Sara Lance (Caity Lotz), the Time Bureau sticks to the rules to fix problems with the timeline. As far as Klemmer is concerned though, it's a good thing that an alternative team has arrived to show the Waverider crew the errors of their ways.

"The Legends really needed a foil. They needed somebody to remind them of just how bad they were at doing this. This season is different in that the anachronisms we're trying to fix are a direct result of what they did in last year's finale," he says. "There's a conflict of interest when you're cleaning up your own mess. I think the team's journey this season is trying to figure out what purpose they serve."

Don't Count the Legends Out
The arrival of the Time Bureau is going to mean facing a very harsh reality for the Legends.

"Our team, within the span of a minute, goes from, 'Oh God, we're going to get eaten by dinosaurs' to 'Oh God, Rip just told us we're done,'" Klemmer explains. "It's an existential crisis for our Legends. What do they do? Go back to their regular lives? And what do those lives look like?"

For most of the team, they wouldn't even know what lives to return to, as the executive producer adds, "the fact is they've been traveling through time for so long that none of them really remember who they were before they left." There is an exception though. Martin Stein (Victor Garber) has a newfound interest in his life outside of the team.

"He now has a daughter and will soon realize he has a grandbaby on the way," Klemmer reveals. "He's the only one who even yearns for a straight life. The rest of our guys, starting with the premiere, are fighting for their existence as time travelers and trying to prove to Rip they still have what it takes."

Thankfully, they aren't down for the count just yet, if only because Rip has a mission that his Time Bureau alone can't pull off.

"Once we get deeper in the season, we're going to find out there is a big bad and Rip wasn't just feeling sorry for them when he let them keep the Waverider," Klemmer teases. "He suspected there would come a time when he would need the Legends. He would need someone a little more unorthodox than his men in black Time Bureau guys. Sometimes you have to fight chaos with chaos."

About That Big Bad
"We didn't want our ultimate big bad to be human because we've had humans, we've had speedsters," Klemmer says. "We basically wanted to take all of our CG money and flush it down the toilet with a version of a non-human villain who is pulling all the strings."

So where did that money go? It's already been revealed that Gorilla Grodd will be making the jump from The Flash to Legends of Tomorrow as he builds a group of villains to combat his time traveling foes. That said, Grodd isn't the only major villain coming in Season 3.

Meet the New Damien Darhk
After playing second fiddle to Reverse Flash (Matt Letscher) in Season 2, Damien Darhk is back and he's different. Instead of being a past version of the character plucked from the timeline, this is the Damien that waged war on Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) on Arrow and paid for it with his life.

How does he make his return? That bit of information is a secret. However, Klemmer does tease, "we wanted him to be darker. We wanted to lean into his dark magical powers." That means the version of Darhk the Legends will be battling has retained at least some of his magic powers from Arrow and that's going to help in shaping the season.

"We wanted the big bad to be much more drawing from the world of the supernatural and the occult,” he says. "We wanted to have the backdrop of a horror movie. It seemed like Damien Darhk, that's a fun side of him to explore."

Amaya vs. Her Own Granddaughter
One of the people joining Grodd and Darhk on their mission to destroy the Legends has a truly heartbreaking connection to one of our heroes. Kuasa (Tracy Ifeachor) was first introduced as the granddaughter of Amaya (Maisie Richardson-Sellers) in the Vixen animated series and will make her live action debut in Season 3. Pitting Amaya against her own granddaughter is bound to make things much more difficult for her.

"She starts to realize that not only is history more complicated and nuanced and shades of grey, but so is her family's legacy," Klemmer explains. "That's our overarching theme -- realizing a lot of history is really awful. If it's just their job to return history to the status quo, does that make them culpable?"

The Crossover Will Be Tough for the Legends
This year's crossover features the wedding of Barry (Grant Gustin) and Iris (Candice Patton) from The Flash, which should be a happy occasion. For the team though, it's going to be a bit rough going.

"The crossover is a hard dose of reality," Klemmer says. "We do have some really fun episodes. We have an Amblin alien that young Ray discovers in the '80s. We have Helen of Troy in Hollywood, a wacky Caper in the '30s. The crossover is a reminder that it's not all a big lark. There are some evils that really take a personal toll on our team."

The event also takes a toll on producers every year, as they try to coordinate the schedules for four different shows worth of cast and crew to create one big event. This time around though, the event sounds more seamless than ever.

"The crossover for us, it's not a Legends episode. It's not an anything episode," he explains. "Last year I felt like each of the shows maintained their spirit with other characters. This year we made a real concerted effort to make it an amalgam of all the shows. It's something unto itself and that's the thing that's really cool and really scary about it. It's not four episodes of TV. It's like a movie."

DC's Legends of Tomorrow Faces a Messy Timeline in Season 3

There's a world of trouble ahead for the motley crew from DC's Legends of Tomorrow.
When we last checked in with our heroic legends, they broke the cardinal rule of time travel -- do not return to a time you've already altered - and have essentially broken time. Dinosaurs and Julius Caesar running around in 2017? Check. Big Ben in Los Angeles? Check! The Doctor looking on from his TARDIS and shaking his head? Probably.
Season 3 will find them trying to fix their monumental mistake even if the Time Bureau, backed by their former leader Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill), doesn't want them involved. "We all have to figure out what we did and how to fix it," Caity Lotz, who plays Sara Lance, told TV Guide.
That will be easier said than done but at least they won't have the added complication of the other DC shows (Arrow, Supergirl and The Flash). It looks like this problem will be contained in one place. "I believe the time breaking situation is just going to be a part of the Legends universe," co-star Brandon Routh added.

The season will also see some fresh faces including Tracy Ifeachor (The Originals, Quantico), who will play the water-manipulating baddie, Kuasa, and Billy Zane guest-starring as Barnum & Bailey Circus founder P. T. Barnum.
Strap yourselves in...it's going to be a bumpy ride.

Legends of Tomorrow: Matt Ryan's Constantine to Visit in Season 3

Constantine is heading back to the Arrow-verse, this time appearing on DC’s Legends of Tomorrow — and he’ll be sticking around for more than just one episode.
Matt Ryan will reprise his role as the demon hunter during two Season 3 installments of The CW’s time-hopping superhero drama, TVLine has confirmed.

Ryan will appear in Episodes 9 and 10, during which viewers will see “John Constantine doing an exorcism,” executive producer Phil Klemmer teased in an interview with RottenTomatoes.com.
Ryan’s portrayal of the DC Comics hero goes back to the short-lived NBC series Constantine, which wrapped up its one-season run in 2015. The actor then reprised his role during a Season 4 episode of The CW’s Arrow, in which his character was instrumental in resurrecting Legends‘ Sara Lance.

Ryan will also continue to give life to the demon hunter by lending his voice to the animated offshoot Constantine, debuting in early 2018 on The CW’s digital arm CW Seed.

Matt Ryan to Reprise 'Constantine' Role for 2-Part 'Legends of Tomorrow' Arc

"As for the character of Constantine, we knew that an alienated, chain-smoking, bisexual, world-weary demonologist would feel right at home among our Legends," EP Phil Klemmer tells THR.

Constantine is getting resurrected again on The CW.

Matt Ryan will reprise his role of demon hunter John Constantine for a two-episode arc on Legends of Tomorrow this season.

"Having Matt Ryan reprise his iconic — dare we say legendary — role of John Constantine on Legends is something that [executive producer] Marc [Guggenheim] and I have been working toward since season one, and now the stars have finally aligned," executive producer Phil Klemmer tells The Hollywood Reporter. "While we are working to finish our 2017 Arrow-verse crossover, which is no joke the most ambitious bit of network TV that four shows have ever had the audacity and insanity to endeavor, we were looking for a way to make an equally exciting 2018 return. That’s how we came up with Matt Ryan."

Ryan played the iconic DC Comics character for one season on NBC's since-canceled live-action Constantine and later appeared in season four of Arrow. He will appear in episodes nine and 10 of Legends of Tomorrow season three, which will take place chronologically after his appearance on Arrow. And to hear Klemmer tell it, his appearance is sure to shake things up on the Greg Berlanti-produced comic book series.

"As for the character of Constantine, we knew that an alienated, chain-smoking, bisexual, world-weary demonologist would feel right at home among our Legends," Klemmer says. "His appearance in episode 310 will involve the following: a revisiting of Arrow season four and the events following that season’s finale episode; a confrontation with this season’s Big Bad on Legends — the name we’ve only heard whispered until now Mallus; some hot sex — something that has been in short supply on the Waverider thus far in season three; and Damien Darhk (Neil McDonough), because how can you do an episode about dark magic and not have Damien Darhk? More than anything, the episode promises to be scary as you know what — tonally it’s The Exorcist meets One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest. Demonic possession in a mental institution, what’s not to love?"

Ryan will also lend his voice to the CW Seed animated series Constantine, debuting on the digital platform in early 2018, which is around when his Legends of Tomorrow two-part arc will air. So fans still lamenting Constantine's early cancelation in 2015 will have a lot to celebrate in the new year.

Legends of Tomorrow cast previews Legends-Time Bureau showdown
Caity Lotz, Maisie Richardson-Sellers, and more tease what’s in store for season 3

The Legends of Tomorrow are no longer the only heroes in town. In the wake of the Legends breaking time last season, Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) has created a new government-sanctioned Time Bureau, which plans to fix all the anachronisms — persons, places, or things displaced in time — caused by the team.

The third season of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow picks up roughly right where we left off, with a T. rex horde roaming the streets of Los Angeles, which has been littered with iconic landmarks displaced in time, like Big Ben. But it won’t be long before Rip arrives and relieves the Legends of duty. See, it’s been mere minutes for them since they broke time, but it’s been years for him — during which he created the by-the-rules Time Bureau.

“By the end of last season, he realized that his true calling is keeping time safe and that he can do it without them,” Darvill tells EW. “Actually they messed things up so much that there’s no point in hanging around with them, in using them anymore to keep that going. So he sets up this well-oiled machine, the Time Bureau. It’s really official. Everyone’s in suits. Having been a Time Master, I think he was right: If we’re going to do this, we need to do this properly, and it’s like a proper big government agency. By comparison to the Legends, they get things done quickly, quietly, and get out of there with no hassle. It’s like Legends version two. It’s what he wanted to do originally with them, I think, but has realized that he can do it a little bit more calmly with a bit less drama.”

Hence, the Legends are no longer needed, so most of them go their own way. “It’s a bit of a shock, because suddenly we’re defunct,” says Maisie Richardson-Sellers, who plays O.G. Vixen Amaya. “We’re not the important team that we used to once be. However, not everyone has a place to go back to, which we see in these hilarious little scenes. It’s really confronting what our purpose is. Do you want to be here?”

In the ensuing six months, we find Ray (Brandon Routh) has been working for a big tech company, Stein (Victor Garber) is spending more time with his daughter, while someone like Amaya struggles with whether to return home knowing the greater affects it would have. “That puts her in a really tricky predicament because should she go home and continue her timeline even though she knows that ends up with a quite sad history, but then also in the development of Mari [Megalyn E.K.], which is crucial,” Richardson-Sellers says. “Or does she stay with Nate [Nick Zano]? That’s the big decision that she has to decide, and I think that then translates to the rest of the season. She’s either going to stay for good, or not.”

Sara, however, is less inclined to return to Star City, and we instead find her working for a Sink, Shower and Stuff. “Maybe because her sister’s gone and she doesn’t really have any friends or family,” Caity Lotz says. “She doesn’t feel so connected with anybody there and probably is a maybe a little ashamed.” That’s because it was ultimately Sara’s decision in the finale to return to a time the Legends had already interacted with, thus breaking time. “As of right now, there’s a little bit of like, this was your decision that made all of this happen,” Lotz says, explaining that the Legends don’t necessarily question her judgment, but it’s more about self-deprecation. “Sara’s usually the first to blame herself.”

Everything changes when Mick (Dominic Purcell) spies an anachronism while taking some R&R in Aruba, realizing that the Time Bureau hasn’t fixed everything, so he sees it as an opportunity to get the band back together. But doing so puts them in direct competition with the Time Bureau. “Before we only had to deal with the bad guys, but now it’s like we’re dealing with the bad guys and the cops,” Lotz says. “The Time Bureau is well equipped, and so they make things very difficult. The fact that it’s Rip is hard because he used to be our friend, and now he is our foe. I think Sara feels a little betrayed by Rip. This Bureau is basically saying like, ‘You guys suck.’ When he left, he’s like, ‘You guys are great, good job. You don’t need me.'”

“It is really tricky,” Darvill defends. “I think Rip knows that, he knows that she feels like he’s betrayed them and also when he sees them again, he himself realizes that actually they have a lot of fun, and he has a real bond with them, but there’s so much water under the bridge that I don’t know if that’s ever going to be reconciled. It’s a really interesting dynamic because they both still need each other in certain ways and for certain things. Rip still needs their help at times, and so the relationship’s completely changed, and it is a lot of tension there.”

But their time apart really cements the Legends as a team once again, forcing them to confront what they’re all really doing together. “Before it was kind of like, ‘Oh well, we’re here because we have no choice, we’re thrown together,’ and now it’s, ‘Actually, we kind of like this,'” Richardson-Sellers says. “When we come back together, it’s a new energy that everyone is here by choice.”

When are we going to see Zari on Legends of Tomorrow? — Daniel
You won’t have to wait much longer as she’ll be introduced in episode 3. But not all of the Legends will be on board with her joining the team, chief among them: Zari herself. “She’s not an obvious choice to join the Legends, and to be part of a team,” Tala Ashe tells me. “In the early episodes, you’re going to see that she’s fighting the narrative of being a superhero, but also being part of a team and trusting people because I think that’s something that has burned her in the past. Because of her upbringing, it’s not something that she easily adheres to. She is brilliant in that sense and says what’s on her mind, and it’s a different tone to bring to the group of Legends. She shakes them up and challenges their mission.”
