Tom Ellis stated that he will not appear as Lucifer in The CW’s Crisis on Infinite Earths.
Like the comic book story of the same name, The CW’s Crisis on Infinite Earths will unite multiple versions of DC heroes to protect the Multiverse from the Anti-Monitor. However, most fans were surprised when Canadagraphs reported Tom Ellis was spotted on the Vancouver set of Crisis on Infinite Earths while dressed as Lucifer, the eponymous character of the Netflix series.
Of course, the possibility of seeing Tom Ellis’ Lucifer appear in Crisis on Infinite Earths was not far-fetched considering the series is based on the DC Comics character of the same name. However, Tom Ellis recently explained what he was actually in Vancouver for personal reasons when asked about the Lucifer report during an interview with Entertainment Tonight’s Katie Krause:
“This is what happens. I go to Vancouver for the weekend to visit my friend for his birthday and now suddenly I’m in a different show.”
When asked pressed about the fact that he was reportedly spotted dressed as Lucifer, Tom Ellis replied, “No. Hard pass. Sorry. Sorry fans.”
Crisis On Infinite Earths will span two quarters and consist of Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow, and Batwoman. The Arrowverse crossover will launch with three episodes in December before concluding with two additional episodes in January.
In addition to the regular cast members of each Arrowverse series, Crisis on Infinite Earths will also feature appearances by Tyler Hoechlin as Superman, Brandon Routh as Clark Kent/Superman and Ray Palmer/The Atom, LaMonica Garrett as the Anti-Monitor, Jon Cryer as Lex Luthor, Tom Cavanagh as Pariah, Elizabeth Tulloch as Lois Lane, Cress Williams as Black Lightning, Kevin Conroy as Bruce Wayne, Johnathon Schaech as Jonah Hex, Erica Durance as Lois Lane, Tom Welling as Clark Kent / Superman, Ashley Scott Will as Huntress, and Burt Ward in an undisclosed role.
