Wentworth Miller Teases Heel Turn For Captain Cold In LEGENDS OF TOMORROW Return
When Captain Cold returns to Legends of Tomorrow, don't expect to see the morally-questionable antihero who sacrificed himself to save the team; that's not who Reverse-Flash wants in the Legion of Doom.
The last time we saw Wentworth Miller's Leondard Snart (or a real life version anyway) was in the penultimate episode of Legends of Tomorrow's season one finale, where he sacrificed himself to rescue his teammates that had been captured by Vandal Savage. That made the announcement of Captain Cold's return to the Arrowverse a bit of a headscratcher but it seems the timetraveling nature of Legends will lead to Reverse-Flash plucking a version of Cold from the timeline that never set foot on the Waverider. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly on the revival of Prison Break, Miller also commented on Snart's return.
"My sense is that if Snart comes back into the storyline via his present day incarnation, then he’s a straight up villain. He hasn’t gone on that first season Legends of Tomorrow journey yet, so when we meet him again — quote unquote alive in 2017 — I imagine that he’s going to be much like when we first met him the first season on The Flash, which I’m looking forward to, because it means I get to arc to a completely different place."
That would certainly see a reversal in the dynamic between Cold and Heat Wave, where the latter was extremely disappointed to see the former getting more in touch with his heroic side. With Rory now seemingly a permanent fixture aboard the Waverider, Cold seeing his former partner-in-crime with such altruistic tendencies will leave a bad taste in his mouth.
"I think he’d be disappointed. I also think some of that disappointment would steam from being triggered by watching his former buddy, a hard criminal, show a softer, more heroic side, because that might mean to Snart that he, too, is capable of showing a softer, more heroic side. I’m looking forward to their interaction for sure."
DC’s Legends of Tomorrow returns from midseason hiatus on Tuesday, Jan. 24 at 9PM on The CW with an episode titled "Raiders of the Lost Art." The show was recently renewed for a third season by the network.
