In recent years, there has been a big push in Hollywood and from fans to represent more diversity in the ever popular superhero genre. <\/span>Warner Bros.\u2019 Wonder Woman <\/em>just gobbled up more than $220 million worldwide in its opening weekend as the first female-led comic book film of the modern superhero era (sorry, <\/span>Catwoman <\/em>and Elektra<\/em>). Next year, Marvel will drop Black Panther<\/em> <\/span>as the first modern comic book blockbuster with an African American lead (hat tip to <\/span>Blade<\/em>). <\/span>Now, The CW is getting into the action.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

DC\u2019s Legends of Tomorrow<\/em> <\/span>is introducing its first Muslim-American superhero and has cast <\/span>Tala Ashe <\/span>to play the role of Zari Adrianna Tomaz.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the character breakdown:<\/p>\n

A Muslim-American woman from the year 2030. <\/span>Zari lives in a world of contradictions. <\/span>Technology has brought about incredible change in her future \u2014 too bad human nature hasn\u2019t kept pace. <\/span>Fear, prejudice, and a lack of care for the planet have forced Zari to become a \u201cgrey hat hacktivist.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tomaz is described as a computer whiz with a wry, non-compliant personality and a woman living a double life who is yet to realize she has secret powers derive from an ancient, magical source. In her comic book roots, Zari\u2019s alter-ego was Isis, after the Egyptian goddess, though it\u2019s doubtful that will remain on <\/span>Legends<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Ashe enjoyed a recurring role in NBC\u2019s American Odyssey<\/em> <\/span>and has appeared on Smash<\/em>, 30 Rock<\/em> <\/span>and Covert Affairs<\/em>. <\/span>The 32-year-old Iranian American will be a series regular in season 3.<\/p>\n

Ashe joins Legends<\/em> <\/span>stars Brandon Routh, Victor Garber, Arthur Darvill, Dominic Purcell, Caity Lotz, Franz Drameh, Nick Zano, Amy Pemberton, Matt Letscher and Maisie Richardson-Sellers in the series from Berlanti TV and Warner Bros. <\/span>TV.<\/p>\n

But before she pops up in season three, take a moment to get to know her in the gallery above. <\/span>There\u2019s no doubt that The CW is getting a drop dead gorgeous addition to its roster.<\/p>\n\n[ngg_images source=”galleries” container_ids=”504″ display_type=”photocrati-nextgen_basic_thumbnails” override_thumbnail_settings=”0″ thumbnail_width=”240″ thumbnail_height=”160″ thumbnail_crop=”1″ images_per_page=”6″ number_of_columns=”0″ ajax_pagination=”0″ show_all_in_lightbox=”1″ use_imagebrowser_effect=”0″ show_slideshow_link=”1″ slideshow_link_text=”[Show slideshow]” order_by=”sortorder” order_direction=”ASC” returns=”included” maximum_entity_count=”500″]\n  \n\n
