Matt Letscher To Return As 'Reverse-Flash' In THE FLASH Season 2
Barry Allen may be busy dealing with Zoom right now, but another speedster will be making his presence felt in Central City when The Flash returns next year. Eobard Thawne is back, and rather than just being a flashback or Earth-2 version of the villain, we're getting the real deal...
Entertainment Weekly has revealed that Matt Letscher is set to return to The Flash as Eobard Thawne/Reverse-Flash next year. When we last saw him, his Harrison Wells identity had been wiped away after Eddie Thawne committed suicide, and Eobard was erased from history. So, with all that in mind, just how in the hell is the Reverse-Flash going to return? Executive producer Todd Helbing, who has written the episode featuring Letscher's return with Aaron Helbing, revealed: "His impossible return to Central City puts a member of the S.T.A.R. Labs team in unexpected danger, forcing Barry to make a life-changing decision." The episode (the show's eleventh) is titled "The Reverse-Flash Returns", but his appearance sounds like something of a one off, so there could be a twist here. What's your theory?
