The CW has released our first look at the costumes for DC’s Legends of Tomorrow‘s Hawkman and Hawkgirl.
The network released the first photo of Falk Hentschel as Carter Hall/Hawkman and Ciara Renée as Kendra Saunders/Hawkgirl.
Check out their incredible costumes below:
When Hentschel was cast, Carter Hall was described as “the latest reincarnation of an Egyptian Prince who is fated to be reborn throughout time along with his soulmate, Kendra Saunders (aka Hawkgirl, played Ciara Renée). Like Kendra, Carter can access the powers of the Hawk God, Horus, transforming him into the winged warrior known as Hawkman.”
The complication in this relationship is that while Carter remembers his past lives, Kendra does not.
According to Legends of Tomorrow EP Phil Klemmer, the relationship between the pair won’t be smooth sailing despite being soulmates. “[T]he way we’ve imagined them is that they’ve obviously been reincarnated through the ages together, but the fact that he remembers their previous lives and she doesn’t…it gives them very much like a Bogie & Bacall sort of [relationship].”
He adds, “They’re constantly fighting, and the fact that they’re destined to be in love is something that seems impossible to her. That’s the kind of sentimentality that we really strive to avoid on this show. The fact that they’re going to be together someday, we try desperately at every moment to disprove that, this is going to be the one time that they decide to, like, shoot each other in the face.”
Renée had a cameo in The Flash‘s season 1 finale as a citizen of Central City looking up at the wormhole. Hentschel is expected to make his debut in the Arrow/Flash crossover before transitioning into Legends of Tomorrow. Both will be series regulars on Legends.
Legends of Tomorrow premieres at mid-season on The CW.
