Arthur Darvill Joins Arrow/Flash Spin-off

Arthur Darvill Takes a Super-sized New Role

Doctor Who alum, Arthur Darvill has landed the role of Rip Hunter aka the Traveler in the CW Arrow/Flash superhero team up spin-off series. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Darvill is in the final negotiations to play the Traveler, who is described as a cocksure time-hopping adventurer.

There was speculation the hero could be time-jumping hero Booster Gold but The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed the character is Rip Hunter, one of DC’s classic heroes created back in 1959 and was a leader of a time-traveling group.

In fact, inside the WB the character is described as ” a roguish time traveler who hides the strains of being responsible for history itself behind a facade of charm and wit.”
