Arrow/Flash Spinoff Casts Franz Drameh as Final Mystery Member

The untitled Arrow/Flash spinoff on the CW, which some reports have labeled as Legends of Tomorrow, has cast its final mystery character.

English actor Franz Drameh, who appeared in Edge of Tomorrow, has been cast as Jay Jackson, a former high school athletes whose professional career was cut short by an injury. He went on to work as an auto mechanic but develops an interesting connection with the team at S.T.A.R. Labs.

According to TVLine, the original breakdown for the role, codenamed “Mystery Hero,” described the character as a “regular, street smart guy who unexpectedly gains powers, and then, as part of the team, regularly quips about the insanity of the situations.” Early speculation on this character labeled him as Static, Black Vulcan, or Black Lightning.

Drameh's casting completes the trio of new additions to the spinoff. Arthur Darvill from Doctor Who has been cast as the time traveler Rip Hunter, while Ciara Renee has been cast as Kendra Saunders aka Hawkgirl.

The series also contains a host of characters from Arrow and The Flash. From Arrow, Brandon Routh will star as Ray Palmer aka The Atom and Caity Lotz returns, though it's unclear if she will reprise her role as the now-deceased Sara Lance aka Canary. From The Flash, Wentworth Miller comes over as Leonard Snart aka Captain Cold, Dominic Purcell plays Mick Rory aka Heatwave, and Victor Garber portrays Martin Stein aka one half of Firestorm (the other half is Robbie Amell's Ronnie Raymond).
