As we prepared for the Legends of Tomorrow season 6 finale, we of course wondered if it would be a goodbye for Dominic Purcell. It’d been reported some time ago that the actor would be leaving the show, at least as a series regular, at the end of the season.

In the new Netflix film from director/co-writer Peter Thorwarth, Blood Red Sky, two things become eminently clear early on: there are hijackers onboard a redeye flight from Germany to America; and there’s a vampire, Nadja (Peri Baumeister), amongst the passengers, and the only things keeping her from feasting on those around her are a mysterious drug she injects herself with periodically, the fact that this is a night flight, and the presence of her young son (Carl Anton Koch), who looks out for her on the journey. When the hijackers threaten all three of the elements that are keeping her hunger in check as they take over the plane in swift, military fashion and have it turn around back to Germany, Nadja is forced to take action and unleash the dark side of herself that she’s fought long and hard to hide.

Legends of Tomorrow Season 6 has finally arrived, and Arrow-Verse fans are likely happy to have the eclectic group of superheroes back on their screens after such a lengthy hiatus.

While Purcell has confirmed that he will return to the show in a recurring capacity in Season 7, many fans were likely surprised when he confirmed he would no longer be a regular. Now, a producer has further clarified the reason for the actor breaking from the franchise.
