‘The Flash’ spoilers: Robbie Amell on Firestorm’s eventual arrival

Just as you would probably expect, the producers of “The Flash” know what people are expecting from Firestorm. Therefore, don’t think that the introduction to the Ronnie Raymond character tonight is going to be reserved only to flashbacks in the long-term.

While tonight’s story may be a little more about understanding one of Barry Allen’s STAR Labs co-workers in Caitlin Snow (pictured), an upcoming episode will feature more of Firestorm in the flesh, which could create some very interesting dynamics. In previewing all this to The Hollywood Reporter, Robbie Amell had the following to say:

“You meet Ronnie Raymond tomorrow … and then in December, you meet Firestorm. It’ll take a minute before Firestorm turns back into Ronnie because when they find him in December, my character is really going through some stuff. He’s schizophrenic, doesn’t know what’s happening, he’s confused and dangerous to the people around him. You may not see Ronnie Raymond for a little while, but you’ll see Firestorm.”

So how is the show going to utilize this superhero and his unique powers? Namely, we’re talking here about there are technically two characters within Firestorm’s body, and Amell claims that he is going to be playing basically both himself and Victor Garber’s character when we ultimately see Firestorm in action.

While this is all very interesting to us, we are just as intrigued by how Caitlin could someday go from wanting to be with Ronnie to wanting to kill him; her comic-book character’s alter ego Killer Frost is one of Firestorm’s most well-known adversaries.

Of course, we’ll have some further information on these characters in the future, so be sure to be on the lookout for some of that. Also, head over here to get some of the latest scoop, or here to sign up for more updates on everything we cover via our CarterMatt Newsletter. (Photo via The CW.)
