Wentworth Miller won’t be a regular on ‘Legends of Tomorrow’ next season but you’ll still see Captain Cold

Wentworth Miller is scaling down his duties as Leonard Snart (aka Captain Cold).

The actor will not be returning to The CW series Legends of Tomorrow next season as a regular.

Instead, he will guest star as the character on Legends as well as other shows in the network’s DC Comics universe including The Flash, according to Deadline Hollywood.

Miller first originated the role of Snart on The Flash as a recurring character. He then became one of the leads of the spinoff series Legends.

It was his first high-profile series role since his Fox drama Prison Break went off the air in 2009.

‘We always knew that he wouldn’t be a permanent member of The Waverider,’ says Greg Berlanti who is creator and executive producer of Legends of Tomorrow, Flash and Arrow.

‘We also knew we loved him on the show and all the shows, Flash as well’.

Miller will still be plenty busy. He is reprising his role of Michael Scofield in Prison Break for a miniseries set to air next season.

The 43-year-old actor came out publicly in 2014 when he refused an invitation to a film festival in Russia because of the country’s new laws banning homosexual ‘propaganda’.

Earlier this year, Miller penned a Facebook post about the cruelty he endured on social media when he gained weight during the years between Prison Break and The Flash.
