The Impala from Supernatural to appear on Legends of Tomorrow

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Supernatural and the DC Comics adaptation Legends of Tomorrow are both CW shows that I need to catch up on, and I'm doing a lot better on that when it comes to Supernatural. I have watched up to season 7 on that show, which is currently in its 15th and final season. Legends of Tomorrow, which is in its 5th season, I haven't watched a single episode of. But I will. Someday.

One Legends episode I am now really looking forward to watching is the one that is set to air on March 24th – and that's because it's something of a Supernatural crossover. Titled Zari, Not Zari, it has the following synopsis: 

Sara, Constantine and Charlie find themselves in British Columbia searching for another piece of the Loom, but they run into a problem they couldn’t have foreseen. Zari has been having trouble feeling like herself, so she goes on meditative journey at the suggestion of Behrad. Meanwhile, Ava volunteers to try and help Rory with a personal problem.

Images that have been released from this episode show Sara (Caity Lotz), Constantine (Matt Ryan), and Charlie (Maisie Richardson-Sellers) crossing paths with the 1967 Chevrolet Impala, a car known as Baby, that Supernatural characters Sam and Dean Winchester get around in while on their monster hunting trips.

But don't get your hopes up at the Legends of Tomorrow characters are going to team up with Sam and Dean to fight monsters. Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles are not in the episode, and Supernatural is just a TV show in the world of Legends of Tomorrow. In one image you can see Sara holding a "Supernatural Filming in Progress" notice.

Legends of Tomorrow co-showrunner Phil Klemmer told Entertainment Weekly that this Supernatural nod came about because, 

From the beginning, we knew that we wanted to set an episode in modern-day Vancouver, because directly following the crossover that was all we could afford… I’m kidding, sorta, not really. Anyway, we wanted to do a spooky, Predator-style skulk-around-the-woods episode and at the 11th hour decided to have the Legends intersect with the crew of Supernatural. This was the inspired choice of our producing director Kevin Mock, I believe."

So it's not quite the epic crossover it could have been, but it's still pretty cool to see Legends of Tomorrow characters stumbling into a Supernatural location and checking out the Impala.
