Premise

[edit]

The Legends find out that attempting to time travel with two versions of themselves on board the Waverider had more of an impact on time than they thought. Due to this blunder, anachronisms have popped up along the timeline including both objects and people. Rip Hunter's new Time Bureau, a replacement organization for the Time Masters, forces the Legends to disband and resume normal lives. However, they are forced back into action and allowed to work as deputized members of the Time Bureau; they remain unaware that Rip is planning to use their often-destructive tendencies for a threat bigger than the anachronisms.

Development and filming

[edit]

In January 2017, ahead of the second season's conclusion, Legends of Tomorrow was renewed by The CW for a third season.[66] Later in the year the season was officially given an 18 episode order.[67][68] Filming for the season began on July 18, 2017,[69][1] and ended in February 2018.[70]

For the episode "Here I Go Again" Amy Pemberton physically portrayed Gideon, unlike most episodes where she only voiced the character.[71] Sellers called her experience playing the 72-year-old version of Amaya Jiwe "horrible" because of the practical elements that were involved in creating the character's look, particularly the makeup. She recalled, "I was sent to a full head cast [...] I was covered in plaster from my shoulders up with just two breathing holes for two hours. They then created a whole new face and neck for me that was glued on and spray painted over the course of four hours. The end result was freakishly convincing."[72]

Writing

[edit]

Season three features a genre shift from science fiction to fantasy,[73] as well as a change in tone being far lighter than the previous two, being far more wacky and silly.[74][75] Showrunner Phil Klemmer teased the changes described season three as being "more in the world of the occult and monsters".[76] Co-creator Marc Guggenheim explained that, part of the motivation for adding the Muslim character Zari Tomaz to the series was the "political climate" in the United States following the 2016 elections.[77]

Klemmer revealed that he wanted to have the Legends visit new locations including Golden Age Hollywood and Victorian London.[78] The character Gorilla Grodd throughout the season in an antagonistic role.[79][80][81] Though he was written to be more sympathetic following his defeat in The Flash as seen in the "Gorilla City" two-parter.[82][83]

Casting

[edit]

Returning series regulars from the previous season include Victor Garber, Brandon Routh, Caity Lotz, Franz Drameh, Maisie Richardson-Sellers, Amy Pemberton, Nick Zano and Dominic Purcell as Martin Stein, Ray Palmer, Sara Lance, Jefferson Jackson, Amaya Jiwe, Gideon, Nate Heywood and Mick Rory respectively.[84][85] They were joined by Tala Ashe and Keiynan Lonsdale playing Zari Tomaz and Wally West, respectively.[86][87] Lonsdale was previously a regular on The Flash.[87][88]

It was the only season to feature Lonsdale as a regular, as he departed after the season finale, citing his desire to seek other acting opportunities.[89][90] This was the final season to feature Garber and Drameh as regulars.[91] Garber leaves in "Crisis on Earth X, Part 4", followed by Drameh in the following episode.[92] While Garber departure was due to him wanting to resume his career in Broadway theater,[93] Drameh's exit was a creative decision.[94] Drameh returned in the season finale, "The Good, the Bad and the Cuddly".[95] Richardson-Sellers's character Amaya Jiwe, leaves in the season finale. However, Richardson-Sellers returned the following season as Charlie / Clotho.[96][97]

Arthur Darvill, who played Rip Hunter as a main cast member in the first two seasons, was demoted to recurring for the season.[31] Various actors returned in their roles from other Arrowvverse series in recurring capacity, such as Neal McDonough as Damien Darhk,[31] David Sobolov as the voice of Grodd,[98] and Christina Brucato as Lily Stein.[32] Tracy Ifeachor was cast as Jiwe's granddaughter Kuasa, replacing Anika Noni Rose who voiced the character in the animated web series Vixen,[36] and Courtney Ford replaced Tuesday Hoffman as Damien's daughter Nora,[38][99] Ford was upped to series regular in the following season.[100] Sellers' mother Joy Richardson recurred as Jiwe's vision quest ancestor.[37]

Matt Ryan recurs as John Constantine. He previously portrayed the character in the canceled NBC television series Constantine.[101] The series was retroactively added to the Arrowverse after Ryan guest starred in the Arrow season four episode "Haunted".[102] Ryan was promoted to a series regular in the next season.[103]

Wentworth Miller, who played Leonard Snart / Captain Cold as a regular in season 1 and recurred in season 2,[31] returned to play the character's Earth-X doppelganger Leo Snart / Citizen Cold. Miller portrayed the character in a guest capacity.[52] Jes Macallan, Adam Tsekhman and Hiro Kanagawa recurred as the Time Bureau agents Ava Sharpe, Gary Green and Wilbur Bennett, respectively.[34][33][35] Macallan was promoted to regular in the following season.[104]

John Noble voices Mallus, the season's main antagonist, but the character's true form is not revealed until the season's penultimate episode, "Guest Starring John Noble". During the episode Noble additionally portrays a fictionalized version of himself in a guest appearance.[105]

Crossover

[edit]

In May 2017, then president of The CW Mark Pedowitz publicly announced plans for a four-show Arrowverse crossover event, consisting of Supergirl, The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, and Arrow.[106] The crossover, Crisis on Earth-X, began with Supergirl and a special airing of Arrow on November 27, 2017, and concluded with back-to-back airings of The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow on November 28.[107]
