Kara (Melissa Benoist) and Alex (Chyler Leigh) Danvers are the only two guests from Earth 38 who make the journey to Earth One for the wedding. This was Leigh’s first crossover and she was all over it, telling TVLine she’d done “14-hour camera days every single day for three and a half weeks.”

Biggest superheri mashup happened on the Waverider set in studio with about 20 cast members on set. Brandon Routh told TVLine: “You have to have your ducks in a row when doing a crossover because people are coming from four different shows, like, ‘We have Melissa [Benoist] for two hours, and we have Grant [Gustin] for an hour, and we have Stephen [Amell] for 30 seconds!’ So gotta get the shot!”
