LEGENDS OF TOMORROW: Matt Ryan and Amy Louise Pemberton Get New Season 7 Roles

The LEGENDS OF TOMORROW Comic-Con panel revealed two curveballs about the future for two of the show’s series regulars.

First, John Constantine will be leaving the team—Matt Ryan, who originated the character on the short-lived NBC series before moving him to The CW series, is sticking around as a new character.

“While John Constantine’s arc on the show is coming to an end in season 6, Matt Ryan’s journey with the Legends is not over,” co-showrunner Phil Klemmer said.

In season 7, Ryan will play Dr. Gwyn Davies, “an eccentric scientist from the early 20th century who might be the team’s only hope next season.”

“As everyone who loves him knows, in the end, John Constantine will walk his path alone,” Ryan said. “The time has come for John to part ways with the Legends, and for me to part ways with John. I’m really excited to be creating this new role on the show and having some fun with it — discovering how this new character fits in and causes some trouble for the Legends.”

Additionally, Gideon, the ship’s AI, will be around in human form in season 7, with Amy Louise Pemberton (who has voiced the character for the show’s run) portraying the character.

But, of course, there’s still a sizable chunk of season 6 to go. Watch the new trailer for what’s ahead this season…
