Cast Of Legends of Tomorrow Keeps Growing

6:15 AM Unknown 0 Comments



It seems that the cast of CW and DC Comics’ Legends of Tomorrow is adding more and more cast members to add to the already cast heavy mini-series. It seems that they are adding one character from the comic books as well as a completely new character invented for the show to introduce Hawkman and Hawkgirl into the world before the spinoff officially takes off.

First off, we have Peter Francis James, famous for appearing in Law & Order, as well as The Losers, is joining the cast as a completely new character known as Dr. Aldus Boardman, who will play an important role introducing the characters of Hawkman and Hawkgirl. It seems he is a classics professor at St. Roch University, who has researched the characters original incarnation Chayara and Prince Khufu as well as their connection to Vandal Savage, the big bad for the series.  It seems he will also be holding a dark secret that forces him to join the team on their travel trough time.[1]

Additionally, we have Stephanie Corneliussen, who just recently appeared in the show Mr. Robot, playing DC Comics villainess Valentina Vostok. It seems she will have a short arc in several episodes, who is described as a gifted and beautiful Soviet physicists. Describing her stance on defending the “Motherland”, certainly could hint at our heroes travelling back to the times of the UdSSR on the search for Vandal Savage, who she also might be working on a secret weapon. The character was known as Negative Woman in the comics, but it is unsure if she will in fact have powers. Also, it hints at Brandon Routh’s The Atom and Wentworth Miller’s Captain Cold trying to win her heart?[2]
