In season 1 of DC’s “Legends of Tomorrow” the Legends chased Vandal Savage throughout time, and in season 2 they faced off against the Legion of Doom which was a trio made up of Eobard Thawne, Malcolm Merlyn and Damien Darhk. The Legion later recruited a former Legend when they plucked Captain Cold from the past, and when the season wrapped up, Snart was returned to his original timeline.

Ever since Leonard Snart sacrificed himself to save the rest of the team in the first season, Captain Cold has been nothing more that a guest star in the “Arrowverse” and fans miss seeing Snart and his snarky personality on a weekly basis. It doesn’t look like Cold will become a series regular again in the third season, but he will be returning.
TVLine reports that the return of Wentworth Miller as Captain Cold was confirmed at Comic Con, and although he won’t be a series regular, he will be a recurring character.
Leonard Snart isn’t the only character who will be returning for season 3, as it’s also been confirmed that Neil McDonough will be a series regular, and he’ll be reprising his role as Damien Darhk. How exactly Darhk will fit into the story is unknown at this time, but it’s being reported that he will be a series regular.
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.
