- Chris Legends of Tomorrow boss addresses returns of Amaya, Rip, and more (Date: 13 April 2018)
- “Yes, Maisie will absolutely be back,” executive producer Marc Guggenheim told EW. “We just felt like we owed it to the character to complete this arc, complete this story loop that we got her in. Once we took her off of her path in 1942, it was always incumbent upon us to return her to that path. That was something that hung over us as writers, and hung over the character… I’m looking forward to a different storyline for Amaya next year.”
