Keiynan Lonsdale’s character on The Flash, Wally West, a.k.a. Kid Flash, is about to go from forgotten sidekick to literal legend. That’s because the yellow-suited speedster will soon join the time-traveling superteam of Legends of Tomorrow. Check out the first official image of Lonsdale on the Legends set… While Legends of Tomorrow will make its midseason return in February with Season 3, Episode 10 (replacing Supergirl, which will go on hiatus), the Legends debut of Wally West/Kid Flash will occur on the following week in Episode 11, which airs on February 19. He will reportedly join the team in an official capacity in Episode 13, which airs on March 5. As executive producer Phil Klemmer explains of the addition in a statement: While Legends of Tomorrow has showcased numerous iterations in its three-season existence, The CW series – currently in a mid-season hiatus – left off with its largest vacancy yet, with the exit of dual-person hero Firestorm, with Victor Garber’s Professor Martin Stein killed off and Franz Drameh’s Jefferson “Jax” Jackson leaving the team. However, besides the teased addition of Matt Ryan’s John Constantine, the addition of Kid Flash is an exciting prospect for the evolution of the ever-evolving team. Moreover, it’s the perfect place for Kid Flash to do his thing, since the first half of The Flash Season 4 has proven that there’s no room for two speedsters on a single show. Legends of Tomorrow will return from its midseason hiatus on The CW Monday, February 12 at 8 p.m.
