As you may or may not have heard, The CW’s The Flash series will be entering it’s 9th and final season this year. With the series being in it’s final season, people have wondered what characters will or will not return.
Well, from a new article from Deadline, some familiar faces will be returning to the speedster series.
David Ramsey, an Arrowverse fan-favorite will be returning to once again portray John Diggle aka Spartan. While we do not know if this will involve the lackluster story his character has been on in multiple CW superhero shows, it is always nice to see David return.
Next up, someone we haven’t seen in ages and the last time we saw was on Legends of Tomorrow. Keiynan Lonsdale will finally return to the series as Wally West aka Kid Flash. I hope we get an explanation of what he has been up to since leaving Legends of Tomorrow and why he hasn’t been here to help Team Flash.
Sendhil Ramamurthy will guest star in episode 909 in the upcoming season returning as Ramsey Rosso aka Bloodwork, a villain we’ve previously been introduced to in a previous season.
Eric Wallace said this about David’s return “As one of the legacy Arrowverse characters who helped start it all, John Diggle holds a special place in our hearts, as well as the fans. Plus, the commanding presence and commitment to excellence actor/director David Ramsey brings to the screen each and every time is truly inspiring. So, of course, it was a no-brainer to have Diggle join Team Flash in our final season! So, get ready for a very emotional reunion as John Diggle aka Spartan helps protect Central City alongside Team Flash one, last time.”
He also said this about Keiynan Lonsdale “We’re so happy to reunite with the incredibly talented Keiynan Lonsdale as a part of The Flash’s final season. Because Kid Flash isn’t just another speedster—he’s a beloved part of our Team Flash family,” said Wallace. “So as soon as we knew he was coming back, we set out to create a special and heartfelt story for his return. The result is a brilliant performance from Keiynan that showcases a side of Wally West you’ve never seen before.”
Speaking about Ramsey aka Bloodwork Eric stated “Ever since Sendhil turned in such a brilliantly haunting and unforgettable performance as the tortured Ramsey Rosso in Season Six, we’ve been looking for a way to bring him back, We also knew we wanted to have Ramsey play a part in Flash’s final race. Fortunately, everything came together, and now the villainous Bloodwork’s return will set into motion one of the Flash’s wildest and most emotional adventures yet.”
Are you excited to see The Flash played by Grant Gustin run his final race?
