The CW has released an extended trailer forLegends of Tomorrowseason 4 and words can’t quite express just how much of a straight-up, undiluted delight it is. While fellow CW DC seriesArrowandThe Flashare dangerously close to running out of ideas—they’re currently at the “idk, swap costumes?” stage—Legendsseems to havesomany ideas.Toomany ideas.Legends of Tomorrowis bursting with candy-colored, genre-twisting ideas and this mere two-minute trailer cannot contain them. Watch it, rewind to the part whereBrandon Routhflees with a corgi in his arms a few dozen times, and then watch the whole thing again.
The big news, of course, is the addition ofMatt Ryan’s John Constantine as a series regular, which brings a spooky flavor to the proceedings. (And, if the trailer is to be believed, the arrival of mossy DC Comics icon Swamp Thing.) But the other pretty significant news is thatholy wowa unicorn kills someone, a homicidal puppet modelled after Victor Garber’s Martin Stein is attacking people with a butcher knife, and I’m pretty sure Godzilla is going to show up? Season looks wild, folks.
The premise of season 4 is that last year’s fantastic finale—all hail Beebo—opened up a gateway for all types of fantastic beasts to break through into our timeline. We’re talking fairy godmothers. We’re talking minotaurs. We’re talking a mustache straight from The Deuce that’s been transported on to Ray Palmer’s face.
Check out the trailer below.Legends of Tomorrowseason 4—which also starsCaity Lotz,Dominic Purcell,Franz Drameh,Nick Zano,Tala Ashe, andJes Macallan—premieres on The CW Monday, October 22.
