In the closing minutes of the DC’s Legends of Tomorrow season one finale, the team is preparing to enter their time-traveling ship, The Waverider, when another Waverider appears in the sky above them and crashes to the ground.
Maisie Richardson-Sellers, who appeared briefly in J.J. Abrams’ Star Wars: The Force Awakens will play Amaya Jiwe, the grandmother of Megalyn Echikunwoke‘s Mari McCabe on season two of the time-traveling superhero series.
It appears that Jiwe will have the same animal powers and will also fight for good under the Vixen moniker.
DC’s Legends of Tomorrow is executive produced by Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim, Andrew Kreisberg, Phil Klemmer, Chris Fedak and Sarah Schechter.
