The news was revealed at San Diego Comic-Con on Sunday (July 25).

“While John Constantine’s arc on the show is coming to an end in season six, Matt Ryan’s journey with the Legends is not over,” co-showrunner Phil Klemmer shared.

“As everyone who loves him knows, in the end, John Constantine will walk his path alone. The time has come for John to part ways with the Legends, and for me to part ways with John,” Matt added. “I’m really excited to be creating this new role on the show and having some fun with it — discovering how this new character fits in and causes some trouble for the Legends.”

Matt‘s new character will be Dr. Gwyn Davies, an eccentric scientist from the early 20th century who might be the team’s only hope next season.

In addition, Amy Louise Pemberton, who fans know as the AI voice of Gideon, as well as a few in person appearances, will be joining season seven in the flesh!

DC’s Legends of Tomorrow has been a hiatus for a couple of weeks, but returns Sunday, August 8th with a brand new episode.
