Arrowfans got their first look atSeason 4’s main villain Damien Darhk (Neal McDonough) in the season premiere episodeGreen Arrowlast week. While we wait to see what this nefarious character has in store for Oliver (Stephen Amell) andTeam Arrowin tomorrow’s episode,The Candidate,Neal McDonoughconfirmed in an interview withComicBook.comthat his character will also be crossing over to bothThe Flashand the midseason showDC’s Legends of Tomorrow.
“You go back to the League – I did an episode ofLegendslast week – and I look exactly the same in 1975 but you see he’s not as confident and doesn’t have such an agenda forty years ago as he does now. So it’s fun to play the different times, you know? Going back in time withLegends, andThe Flash, withThe Flash, I’m just this crazy, fun, enjoy-everything-while-I-kill-everybody type of character. It’s just nuts.”
We know thatDC’s Legends of Tomorrowwill have elements oftime travel, and as we saw in the season premiere ofArrow,Damien Darhkpossesses magical qualities, and he is actually hundreds of years old. It’s likely this mystic quality will allow Damien to look the same back in 1975, as he does in present day. The actor also hinted that he may have some sort of connection withDC’s Legends of Tomorrowvillain Vandal Savage (Casper Crump).
“I’m enjoying the power that I have because it’s my time. It’s not Savage’s time, it’s not Ra’s al Ghul’s time, it’s Damien Darhk’s time.”
There have already been several announced crossovers betweenArrow,The FlashandDC’s Legends of Tomorrow.Caity Lotzwill return as Sara Lance, who will be resurrected as the White Canary on an upcomingArrowepisode, before moving over toDC’s Legends of Tomorrow. It is believed that this resurrection will take place in the same episode thatMatt Ryanwill guest star in as John Constantine. DC’s Legends of Tomorrow starsFalk Hentschel(Hawkman) andCasper Crump(Vandall Savage) are also set to appear on bothArrowandThe Flashat some point before the midseason show debuts.
DC’s Legends of Tomorrowisn’t slated to debut until next spring, and it isn’t known when we’ll see Damien Darhk appear inThe Flashas well. It seems possible that all of the main heroes and villains fromArrow,The FlashandDC’s Legends of Tomorrowwill be popping in and out of each show throughout this season, but we’ll have to wait and see. Are you looking forward to Damien Darhk’s appearances onDC’s Legends of TomorrowandThe Flash?
