In an interview with Victor Garber, it’s learned the planned Arrow and Flash spinoff superhero team series, speculated to be titled “The Legends Of Tomorrow,” will premiere January 2016.

Garber, who plays one half of Firestorm as Dr. Stein, let the details fly in an interview with BroadwayWorld.com.

Yeah, I think it’s going to be a very fun ride. I really honestly can’t tell you much about it except it is completely new and it will involve a lot of interesting people. No. We haven’t filmed any of it yet – but, it is going straight to series. We start filming in August and it will be on in January. Yes, it will be on the CW.

In addition to Garber, the spinoff is set to star Brandon Routh as Atom, Wentworth Miller as Captain Cold, Dominic Cooper as Heat Wave, Ciara Renee as Hawkgirl, Arthur Darvill as Rip Hunter, with Caity Lotz and Frank Drameh in to-be-announced roles.

Garber offered the following about his fellow cast members.

Yes, it’s so many interesting people involved with it – Ciara and Arthur Darvill and Wentworth Millerand Dominic Purcell and Brandon Routh and Caity Loz. I am very much looking forward to working with all of them on it. They are all really great people.

The inklings of “The Legends Of Tomorrow” have already started with the last episode of The Flash. The newspaper clip from the future mentioned Hawkgirl, and this spoiler pic has landed online.

Update: It’s also reported a 3-minute teaser will be released May 14th at the CW’s Upfronts presentation.

Franz Drameh known for Edge Of Tomorrow and Attack The Block, has been cast in the Arrow and Flash spinoff, which has a speculated title of Legends Of Tomorrow.

Drameh’s role is unknown, but the officially released information makes it sounds a lot like Cyborg, who will also be appearing in Batman Vs. Superman played by Ray Fisher.

Here is the info:

Jay Jackson, a former high school athlete, whose pro-career was derailed by injury.  Now making ends meets as an auto mechanic, Jay will come to have a surprising affiliation to the S.T.A.R. Labs crew.

Previous details also made mention of the character as “a regular, street smart guy who unexpectedly gains powers, and then, as part of the team, regularly quips about the insanity of the situations.”

Other possible contenders could be Black Lighting or maybe Static Shock. Maybe even Green Lantern John Stewart?

The Flash / Arrow spinof is due out next Fall starring Brandon Routh as Atom, Caity Lotz in an unknown role, Victor Garber as one half of Firestorm, Wentworth Miller as Captain Cold, Dominic Purcell as Heat Wave, Arthur Darvill as Rip Hunter and Ciara Renee as Hawkgirl. You can check out a spoiler-filled cast photo here.

The CW and WB are currently developing a superhero team spinoff series from The Flash and Arrow.

Now a potential title has hit the net with “Legends Of Tomorrow.”

It’s pure speculation as of now, but the title fits with what is currently known about the spinoff.

“Legends Of Tomorrow” would work as a title because it is thought time travel is involved with the new series as not only can The Flash travel through time, but another character said to be a part of the team, Rip Hunter, is from the future as well. This would also explain how Caity Lotz can appear in the spinoff series (either as Canary from the past or perhaps an ancestor from the future).

In an ironic sort of twist, it’s been said Robbie Amell will not be a part of the new spinoff; Robbie Amell starred in a similar-named CW series before joining The Flash that was cancelled with The Tomorrow People.

The info comes from a blurb over at Variety where they reported on an international programming event with mention of “Legends Of Tomorrow.”

With MipTV wrapped, the focus now shifts to the L.A. Screenings in May. Big product suppliers were using MipTV to talk up L.A. Screenings bows that include, in terms of shows attracting attention for WBITVD, “Supergirl” for CBS, “Blindspot” for NBC, “Legends of Tomorrow” for CW, and also “The Curse of the Fuentes Women,” for NBC.

The Flash / Arrow spinoff, possibly titled “Legends Of Tomorrow,” is due out next Fall starring Brandon Routh as Atom, Caity Lotz in an unknown role, Victor Garber as one half of Firestorm, Wentworth Miller as Captain Cold, Dominic Purcell as Heat Wave, Arthur Darvill as Rip Hunter and Ciara Renee as Hawkgirl. You can check out a spoiler-filled cast photo here.

Update: David Ramsey, who plays Diggle on Arrow, is reported to have referred to the spinoff as “Legends” while attending the Calgary Expo over the weekend.
