Has DC’s Legends of Tomorrow travelled back in time to the 1950s? How does villain Vandal Savage fit into this soda shop scenario? The upcoming CW series filmed in Kitsilano’s Modern Burger with backgrounders in saddle shoes, poodle skirts, pedal pushers and pony tails tied back with scarves. And is now shooting a drag race out by Boundary Bay Airport.
[Turns out the 1950s backdrop here is for Jax (Franz Drameh) who meets a soda girl as the Legends visit 1958 Pleasantville looking for Vandal Savage. Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh) and Hawkgirl (Renee Ciara) move into the neighbourhood where Savage lives. Dr. Martin Stein (Victor Garber) and Sara Lance (Caity Lotz) pose as doctor and nurse in the mental institution where Savage works. There Sara falls for a young closeted nurse Lindsay Carlisle (Ali Liebert), executive producer Phil Klemmer told EW. This explains the shoot at Coquitlam’s Riverview Hospital. And Leonard Snart (Wentworth Miller) and Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) are FBI agents investigating mysterious deaths].
