Legends of Tomorrow Casts Originals Vet as New Vixen in Season 2
Legends of Tomorrows new Vixen used to be a real witch.
The Originals Maisie Richardson-Sellers has been added to the Season 2 cast of the CW drama in the series-regular role of Amaya Jiwe, aka Vixen,
TVLine has learned.
Richardson-Sellers incarnation of the character is the newest superhero to board the Waverider and join the teams ranks.
Like her granddaughter, Mari McCabe (portrayed by Megalyn E.K. on Arrow last season), Amayas powers are derived from the mysterious Tantu Totem, which allows her to magically access the abilities of animals.
E.K. will continue to voice the animated Vixen on the networks digital channel, CW Seed.
Richardson-Sellers played Eva Sinclair, the witch whose body Rebekah was inhabiting on
The Originals. She also appeared in
Star Wars: The Force Awakens as Korr Sella, a Resistance officer reporting to General Leia Organa.
Legends of Tomorrows sophomore season premieres Thursday, Oct. 13, at 8/7c on The CW.
