'DC's Legends of Tomorrow' production on track despite coronavirus concern, creator Guggenheim assures fans
Amid episode delays and production halts for many Arrowverse TV shows, 'DC's Legends of Tomorrow' continues post-production. While other CW series have halted production amid coronavirus concerns, creator Marc Guggenheim assures fans that all episodes of 'Legends of Tomorrow' have been shot and post-production on them is being done "virtually".
With the virus leaving production on other CW shows either unfinished or indefinitely delayed, Guggenheim responded to a fan's question about whether or not 'Legends of Tomorrow' would be getting a Season 5 finale. "We were able to complete production on the season and post-production has been moving apace thanks to our incredible team," he tweeted, meaning that Season 5 is much closer to completion. "In fact," he added, "we’re having a 'virtual' sound mix of Ep. 514 this afternoon."
Despite the production being on track, however, it is unclear when the next episodes of 'Legends of Tomorrow' will release. They are likely being held back to continue apace with the other CW shows whose production has been held up. Meanwhile, The CW has released a new schedule that will air reruns of its shows, including a five-part rerun of 'Crisis on Infinite Earths'. A promo for 'The Flash' indicates that the show might be returning on April 7 and the other CW superhero shows can't be too far behind.
It's been mentioned that shows like 'Supergirl' are yet to finish filming their finales. Speaking to Inverse, 'Supergirl' actor Nicole Maines said, "We started on the season finale and we had a couple more scenes to do. We have a couple scenes that are stragglers, so it's waiting for production to pick back up and what Warner is going to say. Because, as of now, all the shows up here have halted production."
"It's stressful," Maines said. "We don't know when we're gonna be back, we don't know what we're gonna do. We've had people in the crew who've had to move on."
It's a difficult time for a lot of shows but 'Legends of Tomorrow,' at least, is on track for a full and complete Season 5.
Currently, there is no return air date for 'DC's Legends of Tomorrow'.
