The formation of the Justice League
of America on DC's Legends of Tomorrow has taken yet another step forward with
the casting of iZombie alum Matthew MacCaull as Henry Heywood, Sr., also known
as Commander Steel.
If Commander Steel's casting feels
like old news, it's because his grandson, Dr. Nate Heywood, a.k.a. Citizen
Steel, was also recently cast with Minority Report alum Nick Zano taking on the
role.
In the comics, Henry Heywood "enlisted in the U.S.
Marine Corps prior to their involvement in WW II, but was injured when
saboteurs attacked his base spearheaded by the man who would become Baron
Blitzkrieg in November, 1939. As a biology student under the tutelage
of Doctor Gilbert Giles, his former professor performed extensive surgery on
him with mechanized steel devices that facilitate normal human
functions only on a superhuman level. He adopted the persona Steel, and
started fighting fifth columnist saboteurs before being sent to Europe on
secret missions." - wiki
In addition to Zano, MacCaull also
joins Maisie Richardson-Sellers as Vixen, and Patrick J. Adams as Hourman.
Fellow Justice League members Obsidian, Stargirl, and Dr. Mid-Nite have yet to
be cast.
DC's Legends of Tomorrow returns
Thursday, October 13 at 8pm ET on The CW.
