Rip Hunter's team is about to gain a few new members. In season two of "DC's Legends of Tomorrow," a "Han Solo-like" character with superpowers and an African-American soldier from the 1940s will join the team in series regular roles.

According to TVLine, The CW is seeking:

A male in his late-20s to mid-30s is being sought to play a guy who grew up in the shadow of his World War II hero grandfather and has used a Han Solo-like facade to conceal his insecurity -- until, that is, the development of super powers enables him to love up to his family legacy.

Also being cast for "Legends" Season 2 is the female member of an elite paramilitary team living in the 1940s. An African-American, she is scrutinized in her time for both her gender and race and thus has worked twice as hard to be a perfect soldier. That said, she blames herself for -- and aims to avenge -- the death of a team member for whom she had repressed feelings.
