‘Legends Of Tomorrow’ Season 3 Spoilers: EP Teases Kid Flash’s Arrival

“Legends of Tomorrow” executive producer Marc Guggenheim has revealed the first details about Wally West’s arrival on the CW series.

In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Guggenheim revealed that Wally (Keiynan Lonsdale), aka Kid Flash, will be brought to the Legends by the very man who created the group. “Wally is brought to the team by Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill), of all people,” Guggenheim said. “And once Wally meets them, he realizes this is a good group to stay with.”

As reported last month, Lonsdale is set to join Season 3 of “Legends of Tomorrow” as a series regular. Wally, who first appeared in the Season 3 premiere of “Legends,” will return to the series in episode 11 and then join the team full-time in episode 13. Unfortunately, according to Entertainment Weekly, Lonsdale won’t be returning to “The Flash” before moving to “Legends” permanently.

In a statement, executive producer Phil Klemmer explained why Wally is a perfect addition to the team. “We loved working with Keiynan in our series premiere,” Klemmer said. “So when his character stepped away from ‘Flash’ to go on walkabout, after being dumped and feeling somewhat estranged from his family and team, we knew that Wally West would fit in perfectly on ‘Legends.”’

“After all, our show is about a collection of unlikely heroes who all began their journeys questioning who they are and where they belong — only to find those answers while traveling through time and having wacky adventures,” Klemmer continued. “By the end of this season, Wally will learn that the Legends have a different definition of what it means to be a hero.”

On the “Black Lightning” red carpet last month, Candice Patton — who plays Wally’s sister, Iris, on “The Flash” — told Player.One that she thinks Wally “would be in great hands” with the Legends. “He’s got a great female leader over there,” said Patton, referring to Caity Lotz’s Sara Lance. “And Wally has attributes that would really help the team over there. He would do great on ‘Legends.’”

“Legends of Tomorrow” Season 3 returns from hiatus on Monday, Feb. 12 at 8 p.m. EST on The CW.
