Deadline reports that Routh and Ford will no longer be series regulars as of the fifth season, airing midseason. Said executive producers Phil Klemmer, Grianne Godfrey and Keto Shimizu:
“Brandon and Courtney have been invaluable members of the Legends family. They have always brought a level of passion and collaborations to their characters and to the show – both on and off the screen – that we deeply admire and for which we are eternally grateful.”
They also stated the possibility that Routh and Ford may pop up again in the future.
“Of course, when we have had main characters in the past whose journeys take them away from the Waverider, it’s never truly goodbye. We love these characters and hope to check in with them in future seasons, to see how life off the ship has transformed them for better or worse.”
Routh began playing Ray Palmer aka The Atom in Arrow‘s third season, while Ford joined Legends of Tomorrow in its third season as the daughter of Damien Darhk’s daughter, Nora.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
