After Brandon Routh seemingly let the cat out of the bag, it’s now been confirmed that DC’s Legends of Tomorrow will be getting a speedster adding to its rank of heroes. Yes, as the headlines says, Keiynan Lonsdale’s Wally West is going to be joining the Legends during the second half of their current third season.

On this news, executive producer Phil Klemmer told EW, “We loved working with Keiynan in our series premiere – the episode in which we learned that in between Season 2 and Season 2 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. 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 travelling through time and having wacky adventures. So now, 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. By the end of this season, Wally will learn that the Legends have a different definition of what it means to be a hero.”

As alluded to, Wally decided to take a break from Central City earlier in The Flash’s current season after Jesse Quick ended their relationship.

Expect to see Kid Flash speeding to Legends action later in the year.
