Plus: Are more spin-offs in the works?
Tom Cavanagh, who plays Dr. Harrison Wells on The Flash, confirmed that he will be doing double-duty as the villain Reverse Flash at the Television Critics Association's winter previews on Sunday.
"[Wells] is the man in the yellow suit," Cavanagh said during a panel discussion, referencing the comic book villain who killed The Flash's mother. And since he has the suit, exhibited the villain's vocal vibration powers, and has a faster-than-light tachyon device, all signs point to a time-traveling Reverse Flash. But is he the only one?
Executive producer Andrew Kreisberg hinted that another person may be involved in the Reverse Flash mythology - namely Eddie Thawne (Rick Cosnett). Fans have speculated that Eddie (whose name resembles Eobard Thawne, one of the aliases of Reverse-Flash in the comic books on which the series is based) will emerge as Reverse Flash in the series.
"His name is not an accident," Kreisberg said Sunday. "Eddie's connection to the Reverse Flash lore is going to pay off big time in the back half of the year."
Producers also addressed the idea of another spin-off based on the Flash-Arrow universe, possibly featuring The Atom (Brandon Routh).
"We're in very early talks on a very general idea that we're ... not allowed to say anything about yet," executive producer Greg Berlanti said.
