Lucifer star Tom Ellis has cleared up whether he'll actually be making an appearance in the Arrowverse's Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover – and you have to take the Devil at his word, right?

This winter's Multiverse-merging TV event is going to be bringing together DC series from the past and present as the Anti-Monitor (LaMonica Garrett) tries to reshape all of reality in his image.

One of the many Easter eggs that fans thought they spotted was Lucifer's Tom Ellis recently filming alongside the other Arrowverse regulars in Vancouver, although supposedly it's not what it seemed.

"Right, okay, see... this is what happens," he started explaining to Entertainment Tonight. "I go to Vancouver for the weekend to visit my friend for his birthday and now suddenly, I'm in a different show!"

Asked directly if Lucifer would be in Crisis, he insisted: "No! Hard pass, sorry... Sorry fans."

But that's exactly what he would say if he realised his cameo had been rumbled, eh? Regardless of whether Lucifer Morningstar turns up in Crisis on Infinite Earths, lots of other shows will be represented.

Not only will Black Lightning be joining with The Flash, Arrow, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow and Batwoman for the first time ever, but there will also be characters from classics Batman '66, Batman: The Animated Series, Birds of Prey and Smallville represented.

'Crisis on Infinite Earths' premieres on December 8 with the Supergirl episode, followed by Batwoman on December 9 and The Flash on December 10. Post-Christmas, the series will then conclude with Arrow and DC's Legends of Tomorrow straight after on January 14.

Lucifer season 4 is available to watch now on Netflix. Catch up on seasons 1-3 via Amazon Prime.
