In the world of Lucifans, this is news from God himself! Tom Ellis may have been spotted taking part in Crisis on Infinite Earths as Lucifer!
And that means we could see our favorite devilish character Lucifer before the fifth season is dropped on Netflix.
The Crisis on Infinite Earths comic book is the inspiration for “Crisis on Infinite Earths”, an Arrowverse crossover event consisting of an episode of each series: Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow, and Batwoman.
The event also includes characters from the television series Black Lightning, Smallville, and Birds of Prey.
And, according to our source @Canadagraphs, now Lucifer!
Tweeting early this morning, Canagraphs stated that they witnessed a “Crisis on Infinite Earths” scene getting filmed, and Tom Ellis was in it!
“They did a scene with Tom Ellis dressed like Lucifer Morningstar. Yes, you read that correct,” they wrote.
Here is the tweet:
Because of the wonderful driver at #TheFlash set tonight who kept using their high beams for no reason but to annoy, let me give you all a little scoop on a #CrisisOnInfiniteEarths scene shot today.

There was a scene with at least 4 actors tonight at the set.
David Ramsey, Katherine McNamara and Matt Ryan…. no surprises there.

Canadagraphs, leaking the info in apparent revenge for a driver from The Flash refusing to turn down their high beams, dropped this little scoop causing quite a stir on Twitter.
The scene includes David Ramsay (who plays John Diggle), Katherine McNamara (Mia Smoak), and Matt Ryan (John Constantine).
Though the scene denotes a crossing over of various points in the Arrowverse timeline (given that Mia is from 20+ years in the future), it is, as the post states, hardly a surprise.
All three of those aforementioned actors were recently seen together via set photos.
The kicker, however, is that Ellis was reportedly present and dressed in full Lucifer Morningstar attire.
Lucifer is not a part of the Arrow-verse, but technically he is part of the DC Comics via The Sandman.
The concept of Hell was first established within the shared universe in Arrow season 4, when Constantine repaid a debt to the titular vigilante.
His method of payment was to retrieve the soul of Sara Lance.
The realm was later revisited in Legends of Tomorrow season 4, when Constantine and Nora Darhk undertook a similar quest to save Ray Palmer.
So the King of Hell appearing would require little exposition.
BUT… we don’t know for sure.
Parts of Season 5 of Lucifer are currently being recorded in Vancouver, where the Arrowverse is also filmed.
Ellis may have just popped by during a break in filming to visit Tom Welling – the villainous Cain in Lucifer – who is reprising his Smallville role of Clark Kent in the crossover.
Ellis could also be appearing as someone who closely resembles Old Scratch, as a sort of wink to the audience.
We just don’t know for sure because this news has not been confirmed by the producers or Ellis himself.
But it sure would be cool to see Lucifer recognized in the Arrowverse.
Putting cold water on ALL of this is our Lucifer source @Sanoiro who reports that Ellis was in a makeup trailer in Los Angeles yesterday, meaning he could not have been in Vancouver.

If that’s the case, Lucifans are just spinning our wheels in speculation.
But it sure is fun!
Crisis on Infinite Earths will kick off with the Supergirl episode on December 8.
The fifth and final season of Lucifer has not yet been given an official release date.
It’s possible the 16 episodes could be released in two parts, starting in May.
Lucifer is in California filming from what I read. They went back to LA because of a recent tax incentive. I know Tom Ellis has stunt doubles that look an awful lot like Tom, so could have been one of them. But who knows for sure? Or maybe someone is trying to drum up some gossip?
I’ve done some more reading and see that To Ellis was in Vancouver filming his part for Crisis of Earth. Will be on the CW 10 Dec 2019 at 8 PM.
How can we confirm this? That’s a great tip Shadow251! Thank you!
Jim, I am still looking for the article with the schedule for Tom Ellis’ Lucifer. Here is an article link, http://yvrshoots.com/2019/10/crossover-lucifer-tom-ellis-crosses-over-to-crisis-on-infinite-earths.html
although not the one I read the schedule from Hollywood Reporter or something like that. Can’t seem to pull up Twitter messages about it just yet. But it was the related shows on the CW network. Maybe you have a better way of finding out? Meanwhile, I’ll keep looking FYI and send link if I find it.
crap. I was excited for this…

Tom and Lauren deserved to be the best actor and best actress.I dont know them both but when i started watching the 1st 1st episode, i emmediately set aside everything and finish the 4 series in 5 days..Now my favorite actor is Tom an Lauren..I love to see them in James bond movie, they are perfect for each other..love them
.

I agree with you @Allan Felipe Tom and Lauren both deserved Emmy’s and the show its self too. All the actors pull together and do such a good job on Lucifer. Nothing interfered with me watching the series. It will bee a sad day when the series ends, for fan’s and the crew alike. The best show I’ve seen and enjoyed in many many years for me. There can never be another Lucifer as far as I am concerned. tom set the bar too high for anyone else to try. He is the gold standard now.
