Robbie Amell Confirms Major Character Change for THE FLASH
*Spoilers for The Flash are within this post! Be warned as I can't use the speed force to go back in time and make you unsee it.*
When it comes to spoilers for shows he appears on, Robbie Amell has no chill! I swear I've seen him post so many spoilers for The Flash the minute the cat's out of the bag. The actor took to social media after reports surfaced at Entertainment Weekly that he would be returning to the show...but not as Firestorm! Ronnie Raymond will return to the Flash universe as none other than Deathstorm.
For the uninitiated, Deathstorm in the comics is the resurrected Ronnie Raymond who controls the Black Lantern Corps during the Blackest Night story line. Originally a villain, Ronnie does eventually regain his senses and assumes a normal life once more.
This version will not coincide with the comics. In fact, Amell will be Earth 2 Ronnie, so it's assumed this will not be a canonical take on the Deathstorm character. It does also leave a slim chance that there will be a mention of the Green Lantern, although we would all absolutely s*** a brick if that did by some miracle happen. There is a possibility, however, that we'll finally see Ronnie and Caitlin happy together if the newest season trailer is any indication!
The Flash returns January 19th!
