Sara Lance actress Caity Lotz teases what may have been part of White Canary’s DC arc in Legends of Tomorrow season 8. It has been over two years since Legend of Tomorrow season 7 became the unexpected conclusion to the Arrowverse spinoff series. Given all the changes going on at The CW with Nexstar taking over, the show was one of many that got canceled by the new network regime, and Legends of Tomorrow season 8 never happened.
Screen Rant recently chatted with Lotz for her new film, The Lockdown from Tiger Style Media, where she also spoke a little bit about Legends of Tomorrow season 8 if the show hadn’t been canceled. While Lotz was sad to see the Arrowverse drama end unexpectedly, the White Canary actor shared the following:
Yeah, it definitely was a cliffhanger. I mean, after 140 or however many episodes, I did definitely get to explore a lot of stuff with her. But the way that they wrote the show, it was so much fun. There was always room for more because it was so bonkers, and you just do crazy stuff.
But I know we were going to be in prison, so the next season would’ve started off with us in prison. And I know the pregnancy wasn’t going to be a normal pregnancy, which is what I was looking forward to. It wasn’t going to just be basically what I am now – because now I’m eight and a half months pregnant, waddling around. They were going to make it a unique alien clone hybrid pregnancy, and the baby would’ve been something unexpected. Maybe one day we’ll get that Legends movie!
Everything We Know About Legends of Tomorrow Season 8’s Story
Since Legends of Tomorrow season 7 concluded with a massive cliffhanger, season 8 would have focused on how the heroes would get out of their latest trouble, which, in this case, was being arrested by the Time Police. As very little was revealed about the Time Police in the finale, Legends of Tomorrow season 8 was most likely going to reveal who is in charge of this organization and why they went after the Legends. It’s unclear exactly how long they would have been stuck in the so-called Time Jail, as it would have depended heavily on how many episodes they had been given by The CW.
While Nate Heywood, a.k.a. Steel, had exited the Waverider, a new hero was going to take his place since the Legends of Tomorrow season 7 finale introduced Michael Jon Carter, a.k.a. Booster Gold, played by Donald Faison. Not only would Faison have become a series regular in Legends of Tomorrow season 8, but Booster Gold’s costume and other elements of his mythology would have been explored too. As Lotz mentioned herself, Sara and Ava’s child would likely have been born at some point in Legends of Tomorrow season 8.
The Arrowverse may be ending with Superman & Lois season 4 this fall, but it would still be great to see the whole franchise get a proper conclusion, including Legends of Tomorrow. Hopefully, the creative team behind the franchise will, at some point, come together in the future to either finish the Arrowverse through a limited series event, animation, or even a comic book. But until that happens, it’s interesting to learn what Legends of Tomorrow season 8 would have been if it had come to fruition.
