Sara Lance's days as the Black Canary are long over. "Legends of Tomorrow," the upcoming super-charged DC Comics-inspired series, would prefer viewers calling her the White Canary after being resurrected in the Lazarus Pit, the healing waters of which brought Thea back to life in "Arrow."
Comic book fans know that the Lazarus Pit has a way of changing the individuals it restores back to life. It is not evident in Thea as she was resurrected mere days after Ra's al Ghul impaled her with a sword. But it is different with Sara, who was long dead before she was brought back to life.
Talking to CTV, Caity Lotz, who will reprise her role as the deadly assassin in "Legends of Tomorrow," revealed that the restorative waters of the Lazarus Pit did not leave her unsullied. She said that "there's going to be changes" and that things will be "different."
"She's still Sara Lance, but there has to be repercussions of everything that she's been through. So, I'm hoping we really get to play with that stuff," the actress revealed. "Just like Thea went into the Lazarus Pit and you saw how that affected her, and Sara's dead for a long time. So I feel like there's going to be a big shift."
She added that her resurrection will take its toll.
Meanwhile, "Legends of Tomorrow" will also debut Hawkgirl on the small screen. The superhero was featured in "Smallville" but the character's participation in this new series will be much bigger with actress Ciara Renee going as far as saying that this will the superhero's origin story.
"The character I'm playing, Kendra Saunders, she's just kind of figuring out that she has this power — this kind of like overwhelming anger that turns her into a warrior," Renee shared. "She doesn't quite understand it. She's kind of realizing that she's had past lives, which is also a weird thing to realize. So I don't really think she's a superhero yet, but she definitely has something interesting going on."
Viewers can see girl power in full swing when "Legends of Tomorrow" premieres January next year.
