Legends of Tomorrow season 3: Are Arthur Darvill, Wentworth Miller leaving?
At the moment, it does appear that Miller in general could be done, given that it’s hard to see him coming back as Leonard Snart. Mick Rory put him back into the timeline in 2014, and put him on the path that led to him dying at the end of season 1. He wiped his brain, and effectively restored the timeline. With him seemingly dead in the present, it looks like this is all of his story.
Then again, we’ve certainly seem characters played by Miller before find a way to return after being presumed dead…
As for Darvill, we think it’s far more feasible that we see him turn up, though the show offered up a good bit of meta-commentary with Rip Hunter saying that the team functioned better without him. We do think that Sara’s blossomed into her own as the Captain, but we loved season 2 Rip far more than we did season 1 Rip. He was a character who was fascinating to watch, and we hope that he comes back. It’s always possible that you bring Rip in for an episode or two, and what we do really like about that idea in particular is that it offers up an opportunity to get an update on what he’s up to and continue his interactions with Gideon. Remember when Rip kissed Gideon earlier this season? It was one of the strangest moments in the show’s history, but somehow it worked at the same time.
As for the remainder of the main cast, it does feel as though everyone else is going to be coming back. Even Maisie Richardson-Sellers, who didn’t appear as though she’d be back given that Amaya “died” on the show last week, was back and there at the end of season 2. The episode ended with the team facing their new reality in Los Angeles with dinosaurs(!), and we’ll have to wait and see precisely what that means for the future of the show and the story.

There’s nothing I want more now than to see Leonard Snart return. I was pretty upset that he died in season 1, then he came back only to be returned to the timeline. Goddamn!! Snart and Rory are my favourite, specifically as their usual duo. So PLEASE bring Snart back!!!!

I would love Rip and and Snart back but Sara is the captain and in season 3 Sara and Snart engaged.

I think Rip Hunter’s character is really important and it is a shame that they seemingly are letting that story arc go by the wayside. Arthur D. is a phenomenal actor and brings so much to the show that is lost without his presence. I do enjoy watching ‘Legends’, but may not continue should he not return as a main character in season 3.

The decision to have Rip leave the team makes sense as Sara has now fully grown into her role as team leader.
It also doesn’t seem right for Rip to just fall back and play a secondary role nor does the show require two characters splitting the duties of being a Captain.
The door has been left open for him to make guest appearances which is fine should the occasion arise.
As for Snart, we don’t need to see him again. His journey on the show has ended. The character died a hero and it’s appropriate to close the chapter on that and move on.

I think you’re probably right — I love the Snart character, but what more do you do? Maybe there’s a Cold from another Earth that’s interesting, but that seems to be it.

The problem that many sci-fi/superhero shows fall into is bringing back deceased characters because they were fan favourites even when said character no longer serves an actual purpose on the show.
As great as it is to see Laurel, Snart and Reverse-Flash, these characters are dead and should remain that way.
The challenge is to introduce new characters into the mix and create fresh dymanics for viewers to get excited about.
Relying on old favorites to keep popping up not only dilutes the dramatic impact of their initial departure but also becomes a convenient crutch for writers to rely on.

Would love to see Rip return. You’re right, he was far more enjoyable in Season 2 and I loved how they wrote his integration back into the team. I would love to see Snart return – he and Mick are just gold when they’re on screen, but I’m not sure how they’d bring him back. But maybe he’ll turn up again even just for an episode!

Personally I would like to see both Rip and Captain Cold return, with the White Canary remaining as Captain. I think Rip is still required because his knowledge of the Waverider and time related technology is better than Firestorm’s.
