DOCTOR WHO Star Added To ARROW/THE FLASH Spinoff As 'Rip Hunter'/'The Traveler'
Following the news earlier today that the untitled Arrow/The Flash spinoff has found an actress to play Hawkgirl, it has now been revealed that a major star and fan-favourite character from Doctor Who has been added to the cast as Rip Hunter/The Traveler. Read on for details...
The Hollywood Reporter reveals that Rip Hunter has been cast in the untitled Arrow/The Flash spinoff, and The CW has found an actor who is no stranger to time travel. Doctor Who alum Arthur Darvill is in final talks to play The Traveler, a character they describe as "a roguish time traveler who hides the strains of being responsible for history itself behind a facade of charm and wit." We heard that the series would feature a time traveller, but many fans believed that it would be Booster Gold. Hunter led a team of time-travelling heroes when he was first introduced; could the likes of The Atom and Captain Cold be part of that? Darvill is also known for appearing in ITV drama Broadchurch. The actor joins a cast which includes Brandon Routh, Wentworth Miller, Dominic Purcell, Victor Garber, and Caity Lotz. How do you guys feel about this latest casting addition?
