DarvillArthur Darvill, best-known to genre fans for his role as Rory in the Matt Smith era of Doctor Who, has signed up to play Rip Hunter in the CW’s new superhero team-up show spun-off from Arrow and The Flash.

He’s not fully escaping his time travelling past: Hunter is also a wanderer in the fourth dimension, described as a “roguish time traveller who hides the strains of being responsible for history itself behind a façade of charm and wit”.

Darvill will be joined by Ciara Renée as Hawkgirl, as well as Brandon Routh (Arrow‘s Ray Palmer/The Atom), Wentworth Miller (The Flash‘s Leonard Snart/Captain Cold), Dominic Purcell (The Flash‘s Mick Rory/Heat Wave), Victor Garber (Dr Martin Stein) and Caity Lotz, who previously played Sara Lance on Arrow, although that character was killed off.

Darvill has recently been seen in Broadchurch, as well as on stage in Doctor Faustus and Treasure Island.
