The legendary author of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings is about to go on an unexpected journey in the realm of CW's DC universe.
Executive Producer Marc Guggenheim has announced that the Legends of Tomorrow season finale episode, Aruba, just entered its last week of production. The tweet came with an image revealing the episode's cast list. The most interesting part in this image is the addition of Jack Turner as J.R.R. Tolkien, the man who created Middle-Earth.
Check out the tweet:
The CW hasn't released details about Tolkien's role in the finale. We know a Jack Turner who played on the FX sci-fi show Stitchers and he looks younger than what most fans remember Tolkien as being. This could mean that the Legends of Tomorrow team will meet Tolkien in his early days, before he wrote The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.
Legends of Tomorrow episodes premiere on Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET on The CW.
