‘Legends Of Tomorrow’ Season 3 Casts Maisie Richardson-Sellers’ Real-Life Mom

Maisie Richardson-Sellers’ real-life mom, Joy Richardson, will appear in Season 3 of “Legends of Tomorrow.”

According to TV Insider, Richardson will play a mysterious woman from Amaya’s (Richardson-Sellers) past. The mother and daughter are set to act opposite one another when Amaya, aka Vixen, heads off on a vision quest after her mystical totem starts to go erratic. On this trip, Amaya meets Richardson’s character who points out to the Legend that her totem is growing more powerful as a result of an equally powerful evil on the rise.

While it’s unclear whether Richardson will return for more episodes following her debut appearance, Richardson-Sellers is undoubtedly thrilled about the chance to finally share the screen with her mother. “We have always dreamed of and joked about working together one day,” Richardson-Sellers shared. “So this was an extremely special experience.”
