The CW has announced that Falk Hantschel has been cast as Hawkman in DC's Legends of Tomorrow.

Falk will play Carter Hall, the latest reincarnation of an Egyptian Prince who is fated to reincarnate throughout time along with his soulmate, Kendra Saunders (played by Ciara Renée). Like Kendra, Carter can access the powers of the Hawk God, Horus, transforming him into the winged warrior known as Hawkman.

Renée made a blink-and-you'll-miss-it, out-of-costume cameo in the season finale of The Flash last year. Much of the rest of the Legends of Tomorrow cast has either already appeared on The Flash or Arrow, or have been seen in-costume and in-character during a promotional spot for the series (seen below).

According to a statement released by the network, Hentschel will first appear in the crossover episodes of Arrow & The Flash, then continue in the role on DC’s Legends of Tomorrow.
