The Flash – The Future Begins Trailer

Posted on by

After a particle accelerator causes a freak storm, CSI Investigator Barry Allen is struck by lightning and falls into a coma. Months later he awakens with the power of super speed, granting him the ability to move through Central City like an unseen guardian angel. Though initially excited by his newfound powers, Barry is shocked to discover he is not the only “meta-human” who was created in the wake of the accelerator explosion – and not everyone is using their new powers for good. Barry partners with S.T.A.R. Labs and dedicates his life to protect the innocent. For now, only a few close friends and associates know that Barry is literally the fastest man alive, but it won’t be long before the world learns what Barry Allen has become…The Flash.

Captain Cold Comes to The Flash

Posted on by

wentworth millerThe CW‘s The Flash has added a villain. Executive Producer Greg Berlanti has announced that actor Wentworth Miller will be joining the series playing Leonard Snart aka Captain Cold. Miller is most known for his role on the series Prison Break. Captain Cold is a rather iconic villain and one of the Flash’s signature ones, especially as the leader of the band of villains known as The Rogues.

So far Miller is only set for one episode, but his character and his Rogue compatriots play too much of a role in the Flash’s world to not be in more. The pilot features his fellow Rogue Weather Wizard. Expect to see more of them to show  up.

It’ll be interesting to see the take on the character as he’s played both villain and recently the role of hero. I’m expecting the classic villain.

Robbie Amell 3_53bcccd9e70f72.87499037Actor Robbie Amell is joining this falls The Flash in a recurring role as Ronnie Raymond. Folks might know Raymond better as his superhero alter-ego, 1/2 of Firestorm!

In the world of The Flash, Ronnie is a maintenance worker at S.T.A.R. Labs and Dr. Caitlin Snow’s fiancé, and he plays an integral part in the particle accelerator accident that transforms Barry Allen into the Flash.

Firestorm is a bit different, in that it takes two individuals to “make” the hero, as Ronnie gets fused with his Firestorm partner in herodom, Jason Rusch. Will we see Rusch be popping up too?

Interestingly enough, Amell is the younger cousin of fellow DC Comics’ alum, actor Stephen Amell, star of Arrow.

The Flash airs on The CW this fall.
