Vixen Joins ‘DC’s Legends of Tomorrow!
Well, I’ve got some good news and some bad news. Vixen, who has had a couple of tie-ins with The Flash and most recently Arrow, is set to join Rip Hunter’s crew aboard the Waverider.
Unfortunately, Megalyn Echikunwoke, the actress who portrays and voices Vixen, has her schedule booked up. Instead of recasting her, Rip Hunter will instead be looking for help from another Vixen. This new Vixen may or may not have ties to the McCabe family. The folks at CW are in the process of casting for the role. Megalyn Echikunwoke will still be voicing the role of Vixen in any upcoming animated shorts. On top of that, the door has been left open so that Megalyn Echikunwoke can return to the role of Vixen. The possibility of two Vixens working side-by-side sounds exciting in itself.
SDCC can’t come soon enough!
