DC's LEGENDS OF TOMORROW Adds MR. ROBOT's Stephanie Corneliussen In Villainous Role
Shooting is now underway on DC's Legends of Tomorrow, but the cast continues to grow. The latest addition is Mr. Robot breakout star Stephanie Corneliussen, and she's joined the spinoff series as a villain from the comics. Who is she playing? Find out after the jump...
TV Line reports that DC's Legends of Tomorrow has added Stephanie Corneliussen to The CW series as DC Comics villainess Valentina Vostok. The actress is going to appear in multiple episodes, and is described by the network as a gifted and beautiful Soviet physicist who will stop at nothing to defend her precious "Motherland." When the Legends encounter her at the height of the Cold War, they suspect her of working with Vandal Savage (Casper Crump) on a secret weapon. Ray/The Atom (Brandon Routh) and Leonard/Captain Cold (Wentworth Miller) must vie for Valentina’s affection in an attempt to thaw her cold heart, and find out where her allegiance truly lies before she completes her project and potentially turns the tide of the Cold War. Sounds pretty cool, right?
In the comics, Vostok was better known as Negative Woman. The negative energy gave her several powers including the ability to preject a "soul-self" that could fly, become intangible, and cause explosions. However, using this ability left her physical body vulnerable. Eventually she lost her powers, and began working for the U.S. Government in organizations such as Agency and Checkmate. Whether or not she'll have powers in DC's Legends of Tomorrow remains to be seen, but this is the first time period confirmed for the Arrow/The Flash spinoff, and it's clear that the series is going to see the team battling Vandal Savage throughout the entire course of history.
