Arthur Darvill is ready to jump into the world of superheroes in the upcoming Arrow and The Flash spinoff DC's Legends of Tomorrow.
The former Doctor Who star's time travelling adventures will come in handy as he takes on the role of Time Masters agent Rip Hunter in the CW series.
Darvill was asked about his experience with his Legends of Tomorrow co-stars Caity Lotz, Brandon Routh and Wentworth Miller during a Reddit AMA session.
"I really have only filmed the teaser trailer - in the middle of the night - extremely jet lagged so i haven't had much experience with them yet - everyone seems quite good at martial arts - I'm gonna need to get me some lessons," he explained.
Darvill went on to more seriously reveal that he is humbled to be joining the DC live-action television universe created in Arrow and The Flash.
"I'm very excited to be entering that world! I think the shows they've got already are really good and the scale of this one is gonna be huge," he said.
What to Read Next
"I'm not really allowed to talk very much about it but... the little details I do know are really exciting and its definitely a new challenge and a new type of character for me to explore."
New additions to Legends of Tomorrow also include Ciara Renée as Hawkgirl and Franz Drameh as the auto-mechanic-turned-hero Jay Jackson.
The series is scheduled to premiere early next year on The CW. Watch a teaser below:
