'Legends of Tomorrow' Update: 'The Flash and Arrow' Spin-off Features Connor Hawke but Not as Sandra Hawke, Oliver Queen Son?

"Legends of Tomorrow," the spin-off of "The Flash and Arrow," is getting more exciting. Connor Hawke is said to be appearing on the show.

In "The Flash and Arrow" comics, Oliver Queen known as the Arrow, and his college girlfriend, Sandra Hawke, has a son.  His name is Connor Hawke. Sandra Hawke is half Korean and half black, and when everybody thought that Oliver Queen died, Connor took up the arrow, and gets to be known as the Green Archer. Connor is a martial arts expert, too.

Warner Bros. made a casting call and stated that, "[the character] decides to put on the uniform of a missing hero who once stood for justice and hope." They were looking for a black or biracial male.  News travelled fast, and Comicbook.com got intrigued by the casting call and found out that the production outfit was casting for Connor Hawke, as reported by TV Line.

Currently, Warner Bros. is keeping the details for themselves, however, they said that there will be slight changes. "Beyond confirmation, Warner Brothers offered no other details beyond his appearance on the show, but did say that this iteration of Hawke will not be the son of Oliver Queen and Sandra Hawke," the statement went, as reported by iDigital Times.

DC universe has revealed small details about the TV version, that Oliver has a son and Oliver's mother, Moira, took care of him.  Warner Bros. also confirmed that the television series will be featuring a different Connor Hawke from the comics.

Fans are now wondering if Connor Hawke will eventually make an appearance in "Arrow."

"The Legends of Tomorrow," which combines the Arrow and the Flash universe, feature a group of super humans or meta-humans, who will take down a villain named Vandal Savage. Savage is known as the 6,000-year-old immortal who aims for world domination.
