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

Legends of Tomorrow Co-Showrunner Discusses Season Finale: “The Good, The Bad and The Cuddly”
Monday’s season finale episode of Legends of Tomorrow is going to feature a major showdown, as the Legends face off against Mallus and a number of fan favorite characters return for the main event.
Legends co-showrunner Phil Klemmer was interviewed by TVLine, and he gave a preview of the season finale which includes a former team member’s return and some possible good-byes.
Here are some of the most important questions asked / answered:
In his true form, what are Mallus’ powers besides looking damn intimidating? Does he breathe fire…?
He’s, like, a fire-hurling, flying demon. His greatest power, though, is chewing through visual effects money. His one superpower is that every moment he’s on screen, you can imagine a pile of cash turning into smoke.
What is his agenda? What does he “want” most in the world?
He is a sort of bellwether of bad guys to come in Season 4. Up until this point, we’ve been dealing with earthly and historical bad guys, and we certainly had fun with all of that, but this year we dabbled in the world of the occult, through Damien Darhk and his enterprises. But you know that Constantine is coming onto the show [as a regular] next season, so we want 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.
We want to get into the world of fantastic myths and monsters a bit more. It’s kind of presumptuous for anybody to think they have ownership of this Earth or any part of it. Not to get deep into immigration metaphors, but Mallus is an ancient evil, he doesn’t understand humans and doesn’t understand why we have any claim to controlling this world of ours.
New photos reveal that Franz Drameh is back for the finale, as Jax. What do you want to say about that encore?
You might have noticed that we’ve included a number of family members of our regular cast on the show as guest stars — like Brandon Routh’s wife Courtney Ford in the role of Nora Darhk, and the guest appearance of Maisie Richardson-Sellers’ mother Joy Richardson as Amaya’s vision quest ancestor. So if you look very closely, you’ll notice that the finale doesn’t just include Franz Drameh but a brief cameo of someone related to him.
The Jax we meet in the finale isn’t the same one who left our team a matter of months ago — he has been inspired by what he learned from his friend and mentor Martin Stein. Being a time traveler is like living in Neverland, where you never have to grow up, and having Jax return to our show after a stint in the real world is a bittersweet reminder of what his friends and former teammates are missing. When we started this show three years ago, we never would have guessed that the youngest Legend would be the first to “grow up,” or that the guy that had to be tricked into joining the team would be the one to answer the Legends’ call in their hour of need.
OK, the big question I have been building up to: Will we see Beebo again? The finale title does have the word “cuddly” in it.
And he is a very cuddly guy. I will say this: Once you’ve invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in CGI assets, it’s a shame to only use them once. That’s why you see Grodd [on a recurring basis] — we finally figured out how to do this really well, so we have to do it again! So keep your eye open for Beebo, for sure.
Because you’ve promoted both Matt Ryan (Constantine) and Jes Macallan (Ava) as regulars for next season, does the finale pave way for any exits?
It does, it does. There’s heartbreak in the finale. A Legend leaves.
It could be argued that Amaya’s story, for one, has come full circle.
As far as her and Nate, I don’t know if love is made to last in the world of the Legends.
But at least one seat will be freed up aboard the Waverider itself…?
Yeah, yeah.
D.C.’s Legends of Tomorrow airs its Season 3 finale on Monday @ 8pm ET on The CW.

DC’s Legends of Tomorrow Official Season Finale Synopsis
The Legends of Tomorrow season 3 finale is just around the corner and The CW has released the official synopsis.
The season finale is titled, “The Good, The Bad, and The Cuddly,” a play on the Clint Eastwood Western, “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.”
But why a Western title?
Well, the episode takes place in the Old West and co-stars Johnathon Schaech as Jonah Hex, a DC Universe antihero who has recurred on Legends at least once per season.
And the” Cuddly?” It’s possible that this could refer to Beebo, the stuffed animal first seen in the episode “Beebo, the God of War.” Beebo dolls later appeared in an episode of The Flash, and last week’s episode of Legends featured someone wearing a pair of Beebo socks. However, no mention has been made of Beebo.
Read the official synopsis below:
The Legends plan to vanquish Mallus but using the totems doesn’t go as planned, forcing Rip (guest star Arthur Darvill) to improvise. The team finds itself regrouping in the Wild West where they run into their old pal Jonah Hex (guest star Johnathon Schaech). Sara (Caity Lotz) leaves Ray (Brandon Routh) in charge of watching Damien Darhk (Neal McDonaugh), while she comes up with a new plan. Meanwhile, Amaya (Maisie Richarson-Sellers) is determined to find a way to use the totems to destroy Mallus.
DC’s Legends of Tomorrow airs on Monday nights at 8 p.m. ET/PT. “The Good, The Bad, and The Cuddly” will debut on April 9, after which Supergirl will return to finish out its season starting on April 16 in the same time slot.

Kid Flash To Join Legends of Tomorrow
After much speculation, The Flash’s Wally West will be joining the Legends of Tomorrow team… at least for now.
Many fans have suggested that Keiynan Lonsdale’s Wally West from The Flash would make a good addition to the show’s cast, and now star Brandon Routh has effectively confirmed the character’s inclusion.
During last weekend’s DC in DC event, Routh said that Kid Flash will become a member of the team “for a little bit.” He has not been confirmed to be a permanent addition to the team.
In Legends’ midseason finale, the team obtained two newbies, John Constantine (Matt Ryan) and Citizen Cold (Wentworth Miller), but neither are a permanent fixture. However, it’s not known whether Wally will stick around or merely serve as another rotating cast member.
Legends of Tomorrow returns to The CW Feb. 12.
