Rip Hunter’s mentor and teacher is Booster Gold!
Except not on the CW. The recently-premiered Legends of Tomorrow has cast Rip Hunter’s Time Master Academy mentor, named Druce, with actor Martin Donovan.
Where have you seen that face before? That’s the dude in Ant-Man that Michael Douglas (Hank Pym) punches in the very beginning. He’s the villain who wants the Ant-Man technology for Hydra.
Now that guy is Rip Hunter’s mentor, as reported by IGN.
Their character description for the character is, “Druce is a respected member of the time council who was Rip’s first mentor at the Time Master Academy. He is a seasoned Time Master who is accustomed with mediating conflicts throughout history. Druce finds himself faced with his greatest challenge when he is tasked to find Rip and convince him to abandon his hunt for Vandal Savage (Casper Crump). If he can’t convince his former pupil and the Legends to give up their quest, he may be forced to kill the man he looked upon as a son.”
Booster Gold ended up actually being Rip Hunter’s father. Think they’ll go that direction for the series?
