With filming underway on the two-hour DC’s Legends of Tomorrow pilot in Vancouver, The CW has released the first official photos of Hawkman and Hawkgirl as they will appear on the series (minus the wings).
Check out the image below.
The photo, which shows Hawkman holding his trademark mace, appears to have been taken on the same rooftop set where the team first comes together with Green Arrow, The Flash and Dr. Rip Hunter in the teaser for Legends of Tomorrow. Whether their wings are “collapsed” and put away or will be digitally rendered later and just aren’t part of the photo isn’t immediately clear.
Hawkgirl (Ciara Renée) and Hawkman (Falk Hentschel) will first be seen on Arrow and The Flash during their annual crossover event before moving on to be series regulars on DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. Little is known about how much of the Hawks’ comic book mythology will be carried over for the TV series, except that they will indeed be characters who reincarnate — a major plot point during executive producer Geoff Johns’s JSA and Hawkman runs.
The series is filming now for an expected debut in early 2016 on The CW.
When heroes alone are not enough… the world needs legends. Having seen the future, one he will desperately try to prevent from happening, time-traveling rogue Rip Hunter is tasked with assembling a disparate group of both heroes and villains to confront an unstoppable threat — one in which not only is the planet at stake, but all of time itself. Can this ragtag team defeat an immortal threat unlike anything they have ever known? DC’S LEGENDS OF TOMORROW stars Victor Garber (“The Flash,” “Alias”); Brandon Routh (“Arrow,” “Superman Returns”); Arthur Darvill (“Doctor Who”); Caity Lotz (“Arrow”); Ciarra Renee (“Pippin”); Franz Drameh (“Edge of Tomorrow”); with Dominic Purcell (“The Flash,” “Prison Break”); and Wentworth Miller (“The Flash,” “Prison Break”). Based on the characters from DC Comics, DC’S LEGENDS OF TOMORROW is from Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros. Television, with executive producers Greg Berlanti (“Arrow,” “The Flash,” upcoming “Pan”), Marc Guggenheim (“Arrow,” “Eli Stone,” “Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters”), Andrew Kreisberg (“Arrow,” “The Flash,” “Eli Stone,” “Warehouse 13”) and Sarah Schechter (“Arrow,” “The Flash,” upcoming “Pan”).
