Unfortunately, history repeated itself and Vandal doing what hes done more than 200 times before killed Hawkman.
Carter Halls brutal death is meant to send a very clear message toLegendsviewers: No one is safe.
But that also meansits possiblewell see a whole new set of Legends should the show find legs.
We were talking about how do we establish stakes right from the jump?
executive producer Marc Guggenheim tells EW.
Normally on the shows, when weve killed off a character, its at the end of the season.
We really wanted to show the audience that anything goes and no one was indispensable.
Her one compass or one mentor was Carter.
Though Renee says its a traumatic experience for Kendra, the timing might be fortuitous.
They were getting there, but she wasnt completely head over heels before she lost him.
Still, Carters death allows Kendra to find herself without her 4,000-year-old soulmate by her side.
Can I become my own human being on my own?
Or am I always destined to be the other half of someone and never complete?
Were all in this cycle together.
We know its his fault, but its tragic.
I dont know that she becomes bloodlusty or anything like that.
Hawkmans death also serves to galvanize the team moving forward.
Im very much a catalyst for the whole show, Hentschel says.
I think my death in the beginning throws everybody into action and unites everybody, in a way.
All the bickering has to stop.
And much like Coulson came back to life forMarvels Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Hawkman will return.
You havent seen the last of Falk Henstschel, Guggenheim says.
Adds Hentschel: There are flashbacks, so there are many ways to see more of me.
DCs Legends of Tomorrowairs Thursdays at 8 p.m.
ET on The CW.
