The CW’sLegends of Tomorrowhas been on a brief hiatus over the past few weeks, but will return Thursday, March 31 at 8 PM ET withLeft Behind. During the WonderCon convention in Los Angeles this weekend, The CW revealed a new trailer for the back half ofSeason 1, which gives us a new look atJohnathon Schaechas the iconic DC Comics characterJonah Hex. This footage also teases a few more surprises that fans can expect as the second season winds down to a close.
Johnathon Schaech signed on to play Jonah Hex back in January, making his debut in the 11th episode,The Magnificent Eight, slated to air on Thursday, April 14. The character is described as “a true legend of theOld West,” and a morally ambiguous gunslinger with a penchant for danger. Jonah is actually well-versed in time travel and the future, but is at home in the Wild West. He’s been battling outlaws and gangs for a while now, and advises the team to be extra careful when they arrive in the small town of Salvation.
The trailer also featuresArrow’s Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards), along with Ra’s al Ghul (Matthew Nable), Nyssa al Ghul (Katrina Law) and our first look at a young Talia al Ghul, in scenes set in the past. It isn’t known if these scenes will lead into a present-day or future version of Talia al Ghul, but it certainly seems likely. We also recently learned that the show is planning on introducing another importantDC Comicscharacter in theseason finale.
While the character hasn’t been confirmed yet, there is speculation it could beBooster Goldwho is introduce in the finale. The show is also expected to showcase other prominent comic book characters like Sgt. Rock, Ma Hunkel (aka the Golden Age version of Red Tornado), Hourman and Sandman, but we haven’t been given any specifics as to when they may debut. There had been talk that each season ofLegends of Tomorrowwill feature a completely different cast of rotating heroes and villains, but that rumor was shot down earlier this month by TV Line’sMichael Ausiello, who said “a wholesale cast change is not at all in the cards.”
Legends of Tomorrowwas renewed for a second season earlier this month, and while it hasn’t been revealed when the second season will premiere, it seems likely The CW will keep it in the Thursday 8 PM ET time slot for its second season. While we wait for more on the end ofLegends of Tomorrow’s first season, take a look at the trailer below, and stay tuned for more on this hit series. Are you looking forward to the debut of Jonah Hex onLegends of Tomorrow?
