Sara Lance has been with the “Arrowverse” since “Arrow” season 2, and she’s had a very interesting journey so far. Her journey led to her becoming a Legend, and last season on DC’s “Legends of Tomorrow” season 2, she stepped up in a big way when she became the captain of the Waverider.
Rip Hunter won’t be looking to remove Sara from her position in season 3, because he’ll be distancing himself from the Legends to form a new version of the Time Masters called the Time Bureau. With a little more experience under her belt, fans can expect a Sara Lance who is more confident in her ability to lead in season 3.
“She’s found her place as the captain of the Waverider, so unlike last season where it was a little bit of a learning curve, she’s happy to be the captain,” EP Marc Guggenheim told EW. “One of the things that hang over the whole year is the fact that she has some measure of responsibility for all the anachronisms that they are dealing with.”
Hopefully Sara’s leadership skills kick in right away, because it’s already been confirmed that season 3 will be picking up right where season 2 left off, which means the Legends are going to have to deal with dinosaurs and the broken timeline they’ve created.
DC’s “Legends of Tomorrow” will return for season 3 on Tuesday, October 10.
After the defeat of Eobard Thawne and his equally nefarious Legion of Doom, the Legends face a new threat created by their actions at the end of last season. In revisiting a moment in time that they had already participated in, they have essentially fractured the timeline and created anachronisms – a scattering of people, animals, and objects all across time! Our team must find a way to return all the anachronisms to their original timelines before the time stream falls apart. But before our Legends can jump back into action, Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) and his newly established Time Bureau call their methods into question.
With the Time Bureau effectively the new sheriffs in town, the Legends disband – until Mick Rory (Dominic Purcell) discovers one of them in the middle of his well-deserved vacation in Aruba. Seeing this as an opportunity to continue their time traveling heroics, Sara (Caity Lotz) wastes no time in getting the Legends back together. We reunite with billionaire inventor Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh), the unconventional historian-turned-superhero Nick Heywood (Nick Zano), and Professor Martin Stein (Victor Garber) and Jefferson “Jax” Jackson (Franz Drameh), who together form the meta-human Firestorm.
Once reunited, the Legends will challenge the Time Bureau’s authority over the timeline and insist that however messy their methods may be, some problems are beyond the Bureau’s capabilities. Some problems can only be fixed by Legends.
