THE FLASH Season 4 Comic-Con Trailer Teases a New Samurai Villain Who Isn't a Speedster

Finally! The Flash is actually getting a villain that isn't a speedster! I'm not sure who this villain is but he's a samurai, who was teased in Comic-Con teaser trailer that was released. It seems like every foe that The Flash has come up against in the series has been a speedster so this will definitely bring the show a much-needed shot of freshness. They don't say who the villain is but it could be Baron Katana. A Flash villain from back in the Silver Age of comics.

THE FLASH cast and executive producers offered their first glimpse at the upcoming fourth season, when they debuted an exclusive sizzle reel for Comic-Con fans gathered in Ballroom 20. The reel showed a very different Team Flash, one led by Iris West in the Cortex and Cisco & Wally in the streets, but audiences were also given hope for a happy return for The Fastest Man Alive, Barry Allen. 

There are also some new casting announcements:

Neil Sandilands (The 100) is set to take on the role of Clifford Devoe/The Thinker, a metahuman with a mega mind who embarks on a season-long battle with The Flash that pits the "fastest man alive" against the "fastest mind alive." A true genius, it's said that he’s devised an intricate plan to fix all that he deems wrong with humanity. So, speed is still going to factor into things but not literally thankfully! 

Danny Trejo (Machete) is Breacher, a feared bounty hunter from Earth-19 and the imposing father of inter-dimensional bounty hunter Gypsy. His mission is to prevent any inter-dimensional traveller from threatening life on his planet — especially his daughter’s. Kim Engelbrecht (Dominion) is The Mechanic, a highly intelligent engineer who designs devices for Devoe. As Devoe’s right hand, she’s the truest of true believers who’ll stop at nothing to help him implement his plan to fix humanity.

Does this little sizzle reel get you excited for Season 4? Did you like the direction that The Flash went in Season 3? 

The Flash Season 4 premieres on October 10th.
