Legends of Tomorrow Casts Role of Muslim Hacktivist From the Future

Quote

DC’s Legends of Tomorrow has filled Rip Hunter’s vacated seat aboard the Waverider with a new series regular.

Tala Ashe (Smash, As the World Turns) has joined the cast of the CW drama as Zari Adrianna Tomaz, a Muslim-American computer nerd with a wry, combative attitude who hails from the year 2030.

Has really nobody made jokes about how they add a muslim character and then she's named Isis? And presumably gets her powers from a polytheistic deity?

The CW has released their fall schedule; LoT returns October 10!

Nope.  We left that particular low-hanging fruit all for you...

There was a discussion of that over in the Mind Your Surroundings thread in the Arrow forums.  It's funny, I didn't make the connection until someone pointed it out, probably since I've know about the Egyptian Isis connection for a lot longer than the extremist group.  There's a good argument on both sides on if to keep using Isis or not.

4:10–4:50 PM DC’s Legends of Tomorrow  — After crash landing the Waverider in a version of 2017 Los Angeles where dinosaurs roam the streets and the skyline is adorned with London’s iconic Big Ben clock tower, the Legends were quick to realize that “we broke time.” Last year, the loveable band of misfit heroes traveled throughout the timeline fixing a series of Aberrations. This year, they’ll be turning the crazy up to 11, as a wave of Anachronisms turns History on its head, leaving the Legends responsible for piecing it back together. What is an Anachronism you ask? For the answer to that, and many other questions, join cast members Victor Garber, Brandon Routh, Dominic Purcell, Caity Lotz, Franz Drameh, Nick Zano, Maisie Richardson-Sellers and producers at their annual Comic-Con panel. From Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow’s season premiere airs Tuesday, October 10, at 9/8c on The CW. DC’s Legends of Tomorrow: The Complete Second Season is available now on Digital and will be released on Blu-ray™ and DVD on August 15.

Surprised this hasn't made it here yet... here's the SDCC Season 3 Trailer!

LMFAO Because of course Stein refuses to set foot on the Titanic.

Scheduling announced for the 4-show crossover; Arrow is on Monday night to accommodate.  They're promising a "true 4-show crossover," in that it will really start on Supergirl and not just be 2 minutes at the end.

[johntfs]

That kind of sucks for me because Monday is my Lucifer night.

Maybe it'll be on break that week. 

[kassygreene]

If you don't DVR, but do have internet access, use OnDemand or the network sites.  Lucifer (and other FOX shows) will be on Hulu; the CW shows will be on Netflix (if you already have either of these), and the network sites do provide them (sometimes 8 days later, sometimes requiring that you login in to your cable service.

The only programs I have ever had a problem finding online immediately after broadcast were Deadliest Catch (not this year though) and The Mentalist, which apparently had a strange ownership thing, and for about a year wasn't on the CBS site.

Even soap operas are made available online and on demand.

As for the CW four show crossover event, I absolutely am watching that online, probably in one night.  And this time apparently I have to watch all of Supergirl as well.

[Starfish35]

The CW shows only go up on Netflix 8 days after the end of the season.  They don't offer in-season viewing.  You can watch via the CW website or app, however, and at least as of right now they don't require a log in.

That's cool to know.  My cable service is kind of obscure and isn't listed as an available log-in.

[kassygreene]

That may have changed; the CW shows were on Hulu in 8 days (I think), but contracts changed all around so Netflix might do it as the season proceeds.

No they don't.  I have a Netflix account, and they only go up after the end of the season.

You can watch the CW show as of *midnight the night it airs on the app and yeah, no login required.  

* I think it actually goes up before midnight on the West Coast.

Yeah I live in the Mountain Time Zone and it goes up around 11:15 pm for me.

[jhlipton]

I have zero interest in the rest of the Flarrowverse, so, just like last time, I'll only watch LoT and come here with any questions.

[Proteus]

@bijoux posted this info about Victor Garber being cast in a Broadway play starting Jan. 20th. A bit worrisome since Legends will still be filming:

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/05/theater/bernadette-peters-hello-dolly.html

[Sakura12]

I'm surprised Victor Garber stayed with the show this long. I think that's another reason they introduced the daughter, either to give him a reason to leave or have her be the new half of Firestorm. Plus I'm all for having more women to even out the team. We have Sara and Amaya as fighters, the new girl as the hacker and Lily would replace her father as the scientist. I also think Amaya will be leaving after this season.

It would be interesting for Jax to get used to a new voice in his head. 

Originally this show was going to be an anthology with new characters every season. They decided to mostly keep the same cast and the actors can leave when they want allowing them to bring in new characters that way. It works better then bringing in an entire new cast.

Was it? I know a lot of fans speculated that, but I guess I missed where they confirmed it.

I will be sad to lose VG whether permanently or temporarily, but I could deal if it meant they brought in Lily.  I really liked her, and more women on the team is always a plus.

My thoughts exactly.  I've been a fan of VG since Alias (Jack Bristow is still one of my favorite characters) and I'd hate to lose him.  But the idea of Lily replacing him (if they are even considering that) as the other half of Firestorm would be intriguing.

No, Legends was never confirmed to be an anthology. It's just what people assumed. TPTB always said their  would be some cast changes every season but never anything as drastic as a whole new crew.

I don't see Lily replacing Martin. If Martin leaves I think it'll be for her so they can be together in present day. I wouldn't be surprised if Jax leaves as well. I can see some configuration of Martin, Jax, Nate, and Amaya leaving this season.

[Miss Dee]

If Garber is truly leaving, who's gonna fill in as the wise old elder of the Waverider? At 47, Purcell's a little young for that. (Although the thought of Mick thrust into that role is hilarious.)

I don't see any reason why Drameh has to leave, though. Unless they plan to make Firestorm reoccuring on The Flash, of course. But Jax could have a meaty storyline on Legends with trying to cope as a "normal" after being a metahuman of sorts.

[Sakura12]

If FD doesn't want to leave I'm sure they will find a way for him to stay on the team. 

With Lily she's an adult she may want to go on the adventure of time travel and to maybe have a chance to be a super hero. Lily seemed to be liked by the audience so it would make sense to have her join the team on her father's place. She has Martin's DNA they can just magic science her to have what she needs to become Firestorm.

Thanks.  That's what I thought but I thought maybe I missed something.

As of right now, Martin needs Jax to survive.  That was the whole reason for finding Jax in the first place - Martin was dying without Ronnie Raymond.  So for Jax to stay, they either have to kill Martin off or somehow write something happening that makes it so he no longer has the Firestorm matrix and no longer needs Jax to stabilize it.  

Or they could have him somehow be lost or taken or maybe just a vacation for the last few episodes and then he comes back once his other commitments are over.

Should we be discussing this in the Spoilers thread?

[Sakura12]

https://www.google.com/amp/www.cbr.com/dcs-legends-of-tomorrow-will-be-an-anthology-series-with-standalone-seasons/amp/

 

They announced it as an anthology series. Maybe not like a true anthology series, but one where the character line up changes along with the main premise. For me the main premise hasn't changed much, just the villains they are facing.

[Starfish35]

Yes, I remember seeing that article, but in that article they were using "anthology" in the sense of telling a different story every season (which they're doing), not getting a whole new cast every season.  Klemmer even alludes to that when he says "I mean not as anthological as ‘True Detective.'". The idea that they would get a whole new cast every season was always a fan assumption.

[Proteus]

I remember that article. Even in it they say the whole cast won't change each year.

[Proteus]

MG says in a new collider interview that Legends episode order this year is 18.

[Sakura12]

18, so they got extra episode. Interesting, hopefully they have a storyline for it. 

[scarynikki12]

Further discussion about what may happen to the show/characters in light of Garber's Broadway gig can be taken to either of our speculation threads.  If you want your discussion to include spoilers, head here.  If you want it to be free of any hint of spoilers, head here.

By the way, if anyone has a source for these other than SpoilerTV, could you let me know what it is?  I really dislike SpoilerTV because I find the site very hard to navigate on mobile, but I don't know of another site that publishes these.
