Legends of Tomorrow Scoop: A Legend Exits(?); Constantine Enters
The Season 3 finale of D.C.’s Legends of Tomorrow aired last night on The CW and it appears as if there’s an open seat on the Waverider.
Although Amaya Jiwe, played by Maisie Richardson-Sellers, decided it was finally time for her to fulfill her destiny and return to her village, EW reports that this won’t be the last time we see Richardson-Sellers. She will continue as a series regular in Season 4.

Prior to the insane fight between Mallus (pronounced “Malice”) and Beebo (view below), it does look like former Captain / Director Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) sacrificed himself in order to stall Mallus’ attack on the Legends. But as we sci-fi fans like to say, if we didn’t see the body, we can’t confirm the death.
At the end of the episode, (new Season 4 series regular) John Constantine (Matt Ryan) arrived in Aruba 2018 to inform the Legends that “You opened a door, love — and Mallus wasn’t only thing that got out.”
Executive Producer Phil Klemmer teased that Mallus was in fact but the “tip of the iceberg,” a preview of other fantastical, supernatural and/or monstrous beasts to be dealt with next season. “Everybody knows that Constantine is joining our show [for Season 4],” he said, “and he’s certainly the shape of things to come.”
Legends forever! Thanks for watching this season of DC’s #LegendsOfTomorrow! pic.twitter.com/xztmwjGoqG

Season 3 will pick up where the last season left off and will see Jesse, Tulip and Cassidy going back to the one place Jesse thought he would never set foot on again, Angelville. The Louisiana Plantation where Jesse was raised after his father was killed. With the help of his friends (and a few enemies), Jesse will need to escape his past because the fate of the world depends on it.
Along with the announcement came a batch of new photos from Season 3, which you can view down below:
Based on the popular cult comic book, Preacher follows West Texas preacher Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper), his badass ex-girlfriend Tulip (Ruth Negga), and an Irish vampire named Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun) as they embark on a road trip to find God and are thrust into a twisted battle spanning Heaven, Hell and everywhere in between.
Preacher Season 3 will premiere on June 24th at 10 pm, only on AMC.
Fan Favorites Returned on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.; New “Formidable Alien” Role Cast
We hope you stuck around for the post-credits scene on the most recent episode of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. because you were treated to not one, but TWO incredible throwback returns. Ruth Negga and David Conrad returned as our favorite “Girl in the Flower Dress” Raina and Ian Queen, respectively.
Earlier in the episode we also got major callbacks to Dr. Franklin Hall and his trip into Gravitonium. It appears as if Dr. Hall can communicate through anyone that is exposed to the highly volatile substance.
But back to Raina and Quinn…
In a season filled with spectacular callbacks and cameos to characters and storyline threads from S.H.I.E.L.D.‘s five year history, this has to have been the most surprising return of the season. Not only did we get some amazing camera time with our girl Raina, but we finally got the answer to a question that has been bugging everyone that pays a modicum of attention: What Happened to Ian Quinn?
Well it turns out he acquired Gravitonium at some point during / after the Season 1 finale. Or I should say… Gravitonium acquired him.
That scene was originally shot for ep 122 and cut out from the ep. It was brought back here.
When I read the script I sat for a moment & was – Huh, this is so familiar like dejavu. I'm like, hey I've already broken this SC down before in S 01! https://t.co/EWu7Mh8Bsm— Mark Kolpack (@MarkKolpack) April 7, 2018
In related S.H.I.E.L.D. news…
Legend of the Seeker villain Craig Parker has been cast in the role of Taryan, a “formidable wheeler-dealer from another planet”. Parker will debut towards the end of Season 5.

Arrow Star Stephen Amell Believes Black Lightning Crossover Will “Eventually” Happen
New CW hit Black Lightning hasn’t officially joined the Arrowverse just yet, but Arrow star Stephen Amell believes that’s just a small technicality.
Amell was recently asked about the crossover potential and here’s what he had to say:
Everyone pretends like we’re not going to eventually cross over with Black Lightning but we’re probably gonna cross over with Black Lightning because that’s just the way that the world works… I think that anything you can do to expand the universe and to build out what we’ve built on our show would be great. So, I’m glad that show’s doing well, I hope that it has a very successful run, and I would love to be a small part of it in some way shape, or form.

Production on American Gods: Season 2 Has Commenced
It looks like American Gods has already started production on Season 2.
Ricky Whittle, the star of the Starz hit (See what I did there?), tweeted an image of him with his amazing co-stars saying “season 2 begins work”.

Since production just started, I think it’s safe to assume that the series will hit our television screens towards the end of 2018 / beginning of 2019.
As Media would say, “Stay tuned.”
