Legends Of Tomorrow’s Caity Lotz Comments On The Cancellation

The CW has just canceled the show after seven seasons, meaning it won't have a resolution for the cast or finish its storyline. Caity Lotz, who plays Sara Lance on the show, had this to say after the news was announced:

I'm going to miss it a lot. I will miss our cast and crew. I know how lucky I have been to play Sara Lance for this long. It has been great to work on Legends. I am so grateful for the journey and for you guys. Thank you. We love you all so much. It has been a blast.

Sara Lance has had the most screen time of any modern superhero due to the longevity of the CW's Arrowverse. She has had over 150 episodes of screen time across five different series. The truth is that the DCEU and the MCU have higher profile heroes, but they are only in blockbuster movies for 1-2 hours a day. But these TV shows? It is a different story.

This is an approximation of the all-time superhero screen time list.

1. Grant Gustin (Barry Allen, The Flash) – 196 episodes (including crossovers)
2. Stephen Amell (Oliver Queen, Green Arrow) – 187 episodes
3. Danielle Panabaker (Caitlin Snow, Killer Frost) – 181 episodes
4. Carols Valdes (Cisco Ramon, Vibe) - 159 episodes
5. Katie Cassidy (Laurel Lance, Black Canary) – 157 episodes
6. Caity Lotz (Sara Lance, White Canary) – 153 episodes
7. Melissa Benoist (Kara Danvers, Supergirl) – 139 episodes
8. Chloe Bennett (Daisy Johnson, Quake) – 136 episodes
9. David Harewood (J’onn J’onzz, Martian Manhunter) – 130 episodes
10. Dominic Purcell (Mick Roury, Heatwave) – 100 episodes

It's just counting the other cast members of The Flash, Arrow and Agents of SHIELD as well.

The era of long seasons of CW superhero shows seems to be coming to an end, so these records may stand for a while. The original Earth Prime Arrowverse has been reduced to nothing, with only one more season of The Flash, and Superman and Lois, though that show goes out of its way to rarely reference the other series.

I hope something is figured out for a finale to the show, but it may be difficult in the current climate.
