The cast of DC's Legends of Tomorrow are offering the first major hints on what viewers can expect from the Arrow and Flash spinoff.
Legends of Tomorrow brings together The Atom (Brandon Routh), Professor Martin Stein (Victor Garber) and the time traveler Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) to form a new superhero team.
The CW series also introduces classic DC Comics hero Hawkgirl, who was briefly glimpsed previously in The Flash's season one finale.

"It will be kind of interesting – this is her origin!"
Arthur Darvill is "really excited" to be playing Rip Hunter in DC's Legends of Tomorrow
