>Olivia Swann has been promoted to the main cast of The CW's LEGENDS OF TOMORROW in season 5 after recurring in season 4. She plays Astra Logue, a young woman who John Constantine accidentally condemned to Hell as a child and who resurfaces as a dangerous manipulator with a plan to unleash the souls of History's greatest maniacs upon the world. The character will serve as the main antagonist of season 5.
>Furthermore, casting is underway for a new recurring male character, described as "a cross between Captain Jack Sparrow and a Russian-accented Russell Brand". Rumors indicate this might be the CW's version of notorious Russian mystic Grigori Rasputin, who is slated to be one of the souls unleashed by Astra.
>Season 5 premieres in January 2020 with a direct tie-in to the network's 2019 superhero mega-crossover "Crisis on Infinite Earths", which will radically change the Arrowverse's status quo going forward.
