When could The Flash season 4 announce Clifford DeVoe casting?
This turns now into the next order of business: Trying to find the right person to actually play the man. DeVoe is someone who needs an intellectual quality, a conniving mind, and eventually a capacity for enough hatred to want to destroy those who end up standing in his way. As a result of that, it’s fine that the show takes its time in order to find the right person.
As for when DeVoe could be announced, there are a couple of different windows to consider.
1. A random announcement – Given that this is what Supergirl chose to do with their casting of Odette Annable as the upcoming Big Bad Reign, it wouldn’t be a huge shock to see them go in this direction. Announcing it randomly basically means that you get a little more play out of the announcement, and that is something that The CW may be looking for at the moment since this is a fairly quiet time of the year for big news.
2. Comic-Con – Announcing a Big Bad on a big stage is exciting, especially since it gives many of your fans something big to look forward to. Unfortunately, one of the big problems with it is simply the fact that it could get lost in the sea of other announcements at that time. Maybe because it’s Comic-Con, somehow the fine folks at the network just won’t care.
No matter when it’s announced, the one thing that is exciting is that it seems as though the network isn’t waiting forever in order to get the news out there. This also suggests that this character will be a fairly continual presence, as opposed to that typical, frustrating Flash villain that is revealed over halfway through a season.
The Flash starts filming this summer; the show may announce DeVoe before then if they are afraid of a reveal getting out because of people scouting out the set.
