Actor Dominic Purcell reveals on social media that he is leaving the Legends of Tomorrow of DC and criticizes the attitude of the studio.
UPDATE: Purcell has since deleted his Instagram post, as well as a follow-up that explained that it was a joke aimed at news sales. He noted that although he leaves the series as a regular cast, he will appear periodically in Legends of Tomorrow.
DC Legends of Tomorrow star Dominic Purcell, who plays Mick Rory, also known as Heatwave, has announced that he will be ending the show.
He wrote on Instagram: “The agreement was not made. I have no interest. What cash do they also give at corporate level? I walk away from [Legends of Tomorrow]. It was a total pleasure and a humble experience [DC Comics’s] iconic character [Heatwave] (aka) MICK RORY for life. “
While no details were given about the circumstances of his decision, Purcell further wrote: “The studio does not care. The actors work ethics and talent must give them the confidence to question authority …. Much love to all “I’m not lost on how happy I am.”
Based on the cartoon of the same name, Heatwave made its debut in Arrowverse in The flash in 2014, starring Captain Cold, played by former Prison Break co-star Wentworth Miller, before both became part of the title Legends of Tomorrow team.
DC’s Legends of Tomorrow features Caity Lotz, Dominic Purcell, Nick Zano, Tala Ashe, Matt Ryan, Olivia Swann, Jes Macallan, Adam Tsekhman, Shayan Sobhian, Lisseth Chavez and Raffi Barsoumian. Season 6 is on Sunday, May 2 at 8:00 PM ET / PT on The CW.
