Jewel Staite (Firefly, Serenity, Stargate Atlantis) has been cast in a guest-star role on DC’s Legends of Tomorrow series.
Staite will play Rachel Turner, a character described as “a tech genius/roboticist who exists in a future in which technology has an even firmer grip on our lives than it does today.” She will debut in the tenth episode of the series (which airs next week).
Rachel Turner is described as also being one of a “long line of inventors”.
Legends of Tomorrow executive producer Phil Klemmer is quoted as saying the following on Staite’s character:
“She’s related to one of our heroes. We will find that she’s not a person off the street. We are going into the most distant future that we will be visiting, and we will find that she is the biological result of something that one of our characters either directly or indirectly did before their recruitment in the pilot, in 2016. As we know, when we pull our characters out of the timeline, they cease to have an effect on the future, but this will be a sort of Ghost of Christmas Future where somebody will realize that something that they did before they left had a butterfly effect on the future that will effectively — they will have aided and abetted Vandal Savage’s rise to power.”
