Production for the Arrow and Flash spin-off began earlier this week. To kick off the start of what is to be one of the more ambitious additions to the DC ‘televerse’, the CW and DC Entertainment has given us our first look at Falk Hentschel and Ciara Renée as Hawkman and Hawkgirl! That little gem can be viewed below.
Trapped in an endless cycle of reincarnation as winged warriors by way of Horus, the Egyptian hawk god, Kendra Saunders (Renée) and Carter Hall (Hentschel) will find themselves hurled into the fray of heroes, villains and take their place among them as legends. The helmeted duo will first appear in the crossover episodes (quickly becoming a bit of a seasonal tradition between shows) for Arrow and The Flash before soaring into DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, which is set to premiere next year.
DC’s Legends of Tomorrow will also star Victor Garber, Brandon Routh (Superman Returns, Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World), Arthur Darvill (Doctor Who), Caity Lotz (Arrow), Ciarra Renee (Pippin), and Franz Drameh (Edge of Tomorrow), with Dominic Purcell (The Flash, Prison Break) and Wentworth Miller (The Flash, Prison Break), and focuses on time-traveling rogue Rip Hunter, who has to recruit a rag-tag team of heroes and villains to help prevent an apocalypse that could impact not only Earth, but all of time.
Bonanza Productions Inc, in association with Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros. Television brings us this next addition to the ever-growing ‘Flarrow’ universe, which is based on the characters of DC Comics. Greg Berlanti (The Flash, Arrow, Supergirl) serves as executive producer alongside Marc Guggenheim (Eli Stone, Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters), Andrew Kreisberg (Warehouse 13, The Flash) and Sarah Schechter (The Flash).
