Black Lightning star Cress Williams shares his thoughts on joining the Arrowverse crossover, Crisis On Infinite Earths.
Crisis On Infinite Earths is the Arrowverse’s most ambitious crossover event yet, with the usual suspects coming together to play as well as newcomers Batwoman and Black Lightning joining in for what is shaping up to be an epic event for DC Comics on television. Cress Williams’ Black Lightning has mostly been kept separate from the goings-on in the Arrowverse, yet Crisis On Infinite Earths finally brings Cress Williams in on the Arrowverse action.
While speaking with comicbook.com, Cress Williams shared his thoughts on Black Lightning joining Crisis On Infinite Earths and what he expects from such an ambitious crossover event as a fan:
“It was very, very important for me once I read [the script], and saw where we were going, that if we’re all in this crossover together, then the realities have to be cohesive. I’m also kind of a fanboy, and I know that watching as a fanboy, if there’s not a sense that it’s cohesive, and not a sense that whatever happens pre- and post-crossover actually affects each and every one’s show, I wouldn’t want that, and be a part of that.”
