"DC’s Legends of Tomorrow" has made an appointment with Dr. Strangelove, casting "Body of Proof" alum Nic Bishop in an homage to the dark 1964 feature comedy.

TVLine has learned exclusively that the Aussie actor is set to guest-star on The CW series in a Season 6 riff on Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, Stanley Kubrick’s acclaimed satirization of the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States.




In the episode — which appears to be the upcoming season’s fourth, titled “Bay of Squids” — Nate (played by Nick Zano) and Zari (Tala Ashe) must infiltrate the Kennedy White House to stop Bishop’s warmongering General Kilgore from steering JFK to start WWIII when an alien begins wreaking havoc in Fidel Castro’s Cuba in 1962.

Bishop’s character is likened to Dr. Strangelove‘s General Buck Turgidson, who was played by George C. Scott in the Kubrick film.



"DC's Legends of Tomorrow" is among The CW series still awaiting a return date.
