It was just announced that the 31-year-old actress has been cast as Esperanza “Spooner” Cruz for DC’s Legends of Tomorrow‘s upcoming sixth season.
Here’s a character description: Tough and self-sufficient, Spooner Cruz lives off the grid, devising ingenious tech for the detection of—and defense against—space aliens. And while some might call her paranoid, she calls it being prepared.
A survivor of a childhood alien encounter, Spooner now believes she has the ability to communicate telepathically with aliens—making her the perfect recruit for Waverider captains Sara Lance, Ava Sharpe and the Legends who, in season six, will be hunting down extraterrestrials who have been displaced throughout history.
“HELLOOOOO LEGENDS! Looks like I’ll be joining the DC Universe 🙌ðŸ½so many changes this year, feeling grateful for this opportunity. I cant wait for you all to meet Esperanza aka SPOONER. Canada🇨🇦 I’m looking forward to calling you my second home🤘ðŸ½. I’m ready for this new journey-LETS KICK SOME ASS!! 💥,” Lisseth wrote on her Instagram page.
Lisseth has left her role on Chicago PD as Officer Vanessa Rojas to join the Legends. You may also recognize her from her roles on The Fosters and The OA.
The promo also mentions the name “The CWverse.” Could this be the new name the network is going with since Arrow has ended?
Stephen Amell seemingly saw the apparent new title and tweeted, “It’s the Berlantiverse.”
TVLine did point out that this actually isn’t the first time The CW has referred to the Arrowverse as The CWverse. A promo was released in the summer of 2019 where they also called it The CWverse.
Eric Wallace is dishing on some dream guest stars for the Arrowverse!
The Flash showrunner recently opened up about some of the characters from the DC Comics Universe he would love to see in the CW world.
Eric shared that having Ezra Miller from The Flash film in Crisis On Infinite Earths opened the door to possibilities of more guest stars.
“It said to us, ‘Huh, if we could get The Flash from the DC Extended Universe into the Arrowverse, this can open the door for other characters.’ So I don’t know what’s going to happen in 2021 and 2022, things have obviously slowed down because of COVID and because of production winding down,” he said during DC FanDome.
“I would certainly love to see the Arrowverse have the Amazons and the Wonder Woman universe come to us, or Aquaman and his universe. I would love to see Cyborg,” Eric added. “All of these things are welcomed now because of this one event, this one crazy idea that again, I’m not sure who had it, but Marc Guggenheim made that call and when he called me and said, ‘How can we pull this off? I need your help’ I immediately said yes.”
“And then the rest of the incredible Flash crew because we had to film it. Even though it was appearing in Arrow, Ezra and the DC rep who was with him came to our Flash sets. It was actually filmed by our crew on our sets. And it was one of our directors in house that had to do that scene.”
The producer of many of The CW shows talked about what this next season’s event will be like during the DC FanDome event last weekend.
“In terms of what our next crossover event will be next year, I think truly because of COVID right now and the pandemic, our aspirations aren’t quite as large. We’d just like to start shooting again,†he said during the Multiverse 101 panel.
Greg also shared that the Arrowverse/Multiverse crossovers weren’t ever in their original plans.
“When we started out just with Arrow, eight – nine years ago now, it wasn’t our intention to replicate what everyone had done so brilliantly in comics,” he said during the panel. “And it wasn’t until The Flash came along and we tried in the pilot of The Flash to put the two of them [Stephen Amell and Grant Gustin] on screen together, that I remember watching that first scene of the two of them together and thinking like, ‘Oh wow, this makes me feel like the DC books made me feel.’ Like one plus one equals three.”
This season’s Arrowverse crossover will be much smaller thanCrisis On Infinite Earths was last season, with just Superman & Lois and Batwoman being the only two shows to cross over, as was revealed earlier this year.
There’s going to be a small Arrowverse crossover next season!
Normally, there’s a huge crossover event, much like Crisis On Infinite Earths last year, between all the DC shows, but they’re scaling back on the next one.
Superman & Lois and Batwoman will be the only two shows taking part in a two hour crossover event, CW President Mark President confirms, via Deadline.
“We’re still working on it. It will be a smaller event than usual, we’re only planning a two-hour event. We are talking about doing Superman and Batwoman together. There’s a lot of characters coming from our other shows,†he said.
The synopsis for Superman & Lois was also revealed. Click inside to read the full rundown…More Here! »
