In tonight’s ep, “No Country for Old Dads”, when Damien (Neal McDonough) and Nora Darhrk (Courtney Ford) take Ray hostage they force him to try and fix the Fire Totem, but Ray (Brandon Routh) tries to use the power struggle between them to his advantage.
Ray and Nora find themselves working together in 1960’s East Germany in order to fix the totem, but soon come face to face with a younger and deadlier version of Damien Dahrk.
DC’s Legends of Tomorrow airs TONIGHT @ 8PM ET/PT on The CW.
The actor plays Wally/Kid Flash on the show and opened up about what it’s like to be a black queer boy playing a superhero.
“Season wrap on Legends today yiewww! Very thankful for fun times,” he wrote on Instagram. “Proud to be a black super hero. Proud to be a Queer boy portraying a black super hero.”
“Hope all you kids out there know you truly can live out your dreams, and all while being [100] percent yourself, whatever that is for you. That’s when you really glow – took me a minute to learn that, but it’s a gift to learn it at all,” Keiynan continued. “I [love] you round to the stars & allll the way back again, forever x.”
Keiynan can also be seen in the upcoming coming out film Love, Simon, which hits theaters March 16.
Wally West (Keiynan Lonsdale) will be popping up on the next new episode of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow next week and executive producer Marc Guggenheim is spilling the secrets about his arrival.
“We’re basically following his trajectory from The Flash,” he shared with EW. “He’s gone on a walkabout, and he kind of feels like he doesn’t fit in anywhere, which makes him perfect for Legends because Legends is a whole team full of people who don’t fit in anywhere.”
Marc adds, “So, Wally is basically brought to the team by Rip Hunter, of all people — so you will definitely see him back — and once he meets them, he decides this is a really good group to stay with.”
“I think Amaya probably struggles the most with it at first because it’s incredibly annoying to have someone on the team who can just fix every problem in the blink of an eye,” he says.
EW reports that Kid Flash will be heading to the series during episode 11, and then be promoted to a full team member by episode 13.
EP Phil Klemmer released a statement on the show jump for Keiynan, saying, “We loved working with Keiynan in our series premiere – the episode in which we learned that in between seasons 2 and 3 he had been fighting crime in Central City with Nick Zano‘s Nate Heywood.”
“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.”
He adds, “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.”
“Wally West is not only back in the company of old friends from the Arrowverse, he’s fighting alongside a former enemy and career arsonist Mick Rory/Dom Purcell. By the end of this season, Wally will learn that the Legends have a different definition of what it means to be a hero.”
DC’s Legends of Tomorrow will return on Monday, February 12th at 8PM ET/PT on The CW.
Love, Simon released the first official trailer from the upcoming movie, as well as the first single from the upcoming accompanying soundtrack, on Tuesday (January 16). And we already can’t wait!
Here’s a plot summary: everyone deserves a great love story. But for seventeen-year old Simon Spier (Robinson) it’s a little more complicated: he’s yet to tell his family or friends he’s gay and he doesn’t actually know the identity of the anonymous classmate he’s fallen for online. Resolving both issues proves hilarious, terrifying and life-changing.
The Love, Simon soundtrack was executive produced by Bleachers‘ Jack Antonoff, and will be released on March 16. The lead single, “Alfie’s Song (Not So Typical Love Song” by Bleachers, was also released on Tuesday (January 16).
Watch the trailer, check out the soundtrack track listing, and listen to “Alfie’s Song (Not So Typical Love Song)” below. You can also download the song on iTunes.
In the first half of The Flash‘s season four, we saw Wally West get completely heartbroken by his superhero girlfriend, Jesse Quick — and it was then that the character stepped away from the team.
The temporary exit caused many fans to question whether Keiynan Lonsdale was leaving the show and if Wally would be joining DC’s Legends of Tomorrow — but neither is true.
Not even a spinoff about Wally is happening, although, Keiynan wouldn’t say no.
“I don’t expect a Wally West spin off, but it would be cool,” he told Kode mag in his new feature.
He adds about Wally’s future: “Wally and I are in a similar place, he’s on the path to finding himself and he’s giving himself the space to grow and learn beyond what he currently knows.”
“I think it would be awesome to see that journey, to see where his travels take him, and to find out what being a superhero actually means to him,” Keiynan adds. “You can have powers & save the world, but what if even that didn’t fulfill you anymore? You’d need to reassess your values and your views on life.”
The Flash returns NEXT WEEK on Tuesday, January 16th @ 8PM ET/PT on The CW.
Here’s a plot summary for the film: 17-year old Simon Spier has yet to tell his family or friends he’s gay and he doesn’t actually know the identity of the anonymous classmate he’s fallen for online. Resolving both issues proves hilarious, terrifying and life-changing.
