Things We Saw Today: DC’s Legends of Tomorrow Battle Wedding Crashers in New Trailer

An Avalance wedding, intergalactic bowling, and a Clue-themed murder mystery game? It’s all in a days’ work for DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. The fan favorite Arrowverse series had its Comic-Con@Home panel today, where they premiered their season 6b trailer. A lot has happened to the crew of the Waverider over the past season, and the showrunners and cast teased what awaits in season 7.

Season 6b will see the return of Matt Ryan’s John Constantine, who will wrap up his run as the occult detective at the end of the season. However, it won’t be the end of Ryan’s tenure on the show: he will return in season 7 as an entirely new character, Welsh doctor Gwyn Davies, “an eccentric scientist from the early 20th century who might be the team’s only hope next season.” Season 7 will find the Legends stranded in the past sans their technology, with Ryan’s Dr. Davies as the only man who can help them return to the Waverider.

Ryan said of the roles, “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. 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.”

Another familiar face will be joining the crew, as Amy Louise Pemberton will finally play the ship’s AI Gideon in the flesh. Pemberton has voiced Gideon since the beginning of the series, and while she has appeared a handful of times in her corporeal form, the change looks to be permanent.

Legends of Tomorrow also announced the release of a 21-track soundtrack album featuring the series’ musical numbers, including the David Bowie–inspired “Space Girl”, Brandon Routh’s “Mr. Parker’s Cul-De-Sac”, and many more favorites. DC’s Legends of Tomorrow: The Mixtape (Songs from the Original Television Soundtrack) will be available on Spotify, iTunes, YouTube, Amazon, and more on August 20.

Chelsea was born and raised in New Orleans, which explains her affinity for cheesy grits and Britney Spears. An pop culture journalist since 2012, her work has appeared on Autostraddle, AfterEllen, and more. Her beats include queer popular culture, film, television, republican clownery, and the unwavering belief that 'The Long Kiss Goodnight' is the greatest movie ever made. She currently resides in sunny Los Angeles, with her husband, 2 sons, and one poorly behaved rescue dog. She is a former roller derby girl and a black belt in Judo, so she is not to be trifled with. She loves the word “Jewess” and wishes more people used it to describe her.
