The CW released the Season 4 trailer for DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, which teases Constantine, Beebo, and new characters!
The cast of the CW’s DC’s Legends of Tomorrow teased a lot about season 4 at San Diego Comic-Con, including its new trailer packed with action and humour. For those of you who may not know, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow is an action superhero show on The CW based on different DC comic characters. Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) is a time master who goes rogue after Vandal Savage murders his wife and son. He recruits a team of misfits/superheroes to stop Savage. Now, the team goes wherever they are needed to stop anachronisms and guard the timeline.
At SDCC, the cast and crew of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow teased two new main characters for the upcoming season: Alaska Yu (Ramona Young, Santa Clarita Diet), a twenty-something year old woman who is easily swept up by romantic notions and fantasy. She is an expert in the world of magical creatures which will lead her to help the Legends and become a superhero. Hank Heywood (Tom Wilson, Back To The Future) is Nate’s father who has spent a lifetime in the military and Department of Defense.
During the panel, the showrunner Phil Klemmer, also confirmed that Beebo (the lovable, fluffy, children’s toy) would return in season 4. Fans of Beebo had already noticed that prior to the convention, the Instagram page was teasing pictures and videos of Beebo, which gave them a clear indication that Beebo would be returning. In an interview, Phil Clemmer also revealed a bit about what would happen in season 3 with regards to the magical creatures teased in the finale. He said that they wanted “to go deeper. We want Mallus to be used as ‘the tip of the iceberg. He is not human, and we want to start playing with the idea that Earth hasn’t always belonged just to our kind.” This makes more sense when you know that Constantine is going to be a series regular.
Another bit of news came when Masie Richardson-Sellers revealed that she will still be a season regular, but won’t be playing Amaya. She revealed that she’ll be playing Charlie who is one of the ‘magical fugitives’ who comes through the door that the Legends opened. Masie revealed, “she’s British, she’s a rebel without a cause, she’s a trickster, she’s on her own mission.” This is interesting news to most fans who were sure that the actress was returning as the beloved character, Amaya. SDCC also released the first season 4 trailer for DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, which mostly consisted of scenes from the previous season along with a voice-over done by Sara Lance, the series’ main character now that Rip Hunter is gone. The trailer also opens up the door to the demon and magical world which will be a new adventure for the Legends.
Season 4 Synopsis:
After defeating the demon Mallus by cuddling him to death with a giant stuffed animal named Beebo, the Legends are ready to ease off the gas. Sara (Caity Lotz) and her team join Ava Sharpe (Jes Macallan) and the Time Bureau to help clean up the last few remaining anachronisms. The job seems straightforward enough until Constantine (Matt Ryan) arrives to inform them that, in solving one major problem, they have created another, much larger one. When the Legends let time crumble in order to release and defeat Mallus, the barrier between worlds softened. History is now infected with “Fugitives” – magical creatures from myths, fairytales, and legends. Having been expelled throughout time by people like Constantine, these Fugitives are now returning to our world in droves and making a real mess of things.
As the Time Bureau is distrustful of and ill-equipped to deal with magic, the Legends must team up with everyone’s favourite demonologist to set history back on track. Sara and Constantine are joined by compassionate inventor Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh), hotheaded ex-con Mick Rory (Dominic Purcell), rebellious totem-bearer Zari (Tala Ashe), and heartbroken historian-turned-superhero Nate (Nick Zano) as they set out to save the world – and their legacy. It’s the familiar fun of the Legends time-travelling across historical events and encountering famous figures with an added shot of magical craziness!
DC’s Legends of Tomorrow Season 4 premieres on Mondays at 8/7c this Fall on The CW followed by Arrow.
