Estrellas de "The Flash" adelantan el 'exagerado' consejo de Wells y el nuevo traje de Dibny
Por Vlada Gelman / 14 Nov 2017, 7:45 AM PST
So many Wellses, so much shameless fun.
During this Tuesday’s The Flash (The CW, 8/7c), the Earth-Two scientist summons some of his doppelgängers to form a brain trust with one mission: to figure out the identity of the baddie known as DeVoe. Looking back at the spectacle that is “The Council of Wells,” star Tom Cavanagh joked during our visit to the series’ Vancouver set that “this show will come and run its course — or it will be like Supernatural and never end — and then it will all be done, but at least we will have this stamp of shamelessness.”
Added co-star Carlos Valdes, who plays Cisco: “This just goes so over the top in such a gratifying way.”
In the end, Cavanagh and the creative team reined it in, paring down the Council from 10 characters to just a few. Affecting a German accent, Cavanagh revealed that among them is a Wells who “thinks everything that is not German is not good.” He’s joined by an Australian “badass from the outback, who doesn’t like anybody. Then we had a little nod to the mansion, because Hugh [Hefner] had passed on.”
But a few iterations of Wells didn’t make the final cut. “Unfortunately, one of the casualties was Wells the Gray, who was a Gandalf guy basically throwing out non-sequiturs,” Cavanagh shared. Also on the cutting room floor: “I think it’s unfortunate the Russian didn’t see the light of day” — for now. But don’t be surprised if some of the castoffs, like Wells the Gray, show up down the line. “In Season 17, when I really will be gray,” the actor quipped.
The Flash SpoilersWells isn’t the only one taking on a new look during this week’s episode. With Ralph Dibny now a part of Team Flash, Cisco designs the newbie hero a rather unique but functional super suit. “But of course, in typical Ralph fashion, it’s not to his liking, so he just mouths off about it, and Cisco sort of has to bear the brunt of Ralph’s frustrations,” Valdes previewed. Eventually, Cisco does craft something more “aesthetically pleasing” for the Elongated Man. “I just saw some renderings, and it made me very happy,” Valdes shared with a smile.
As for how the actual role of hero is fitting Ralph, that proves to be a difficult transition after an innocent young girl is hurt during a run-in between him and a criminal. According to his portrayer Hartley Sawyer, “That’s not an easy thing for [Ralph] to digest and live with, [to] take on the responsibility of knowing, ‘If I make the wrong decision or a different decision, that people can get hurt.'”

Tom Cavanagh adelanta el Consejo de Wells
poc Meagan Damore, 13 Nov 2017
In “When Harry Met Harry,” this week’s episode of The Flash, Harry will summon the Council of Wells, “a roundtable of the brightest Harrison Wells’ from various Earths.” Of course, when it comes to Harrison Wells and his many doppelgangers, there’s only one man behind the various roles: Tom Cavanagh. During a set visit, Cavanagh offered some insight into how he played so many different roles in one scene, teased what versions of Wells we can expect to see (and one we won’t) and more.
“This show will come and run its course — or it will be like Supernatural and never end — and, then it will all be done, but at least we will have this stamp of shamelessness. With the Council of Wells, I will always be able to point to that and go, ‘Look at this exercise in egotism that we managed to pull off,'” he said with a laugh. “Unfortunately, for Brent Crowell, who is our production manager, it was his first time directing this show. He got saddled with having to tolerate me not playing just one character, or two characters which I normally do, but playing a multitude of characters, each one worse than the next. But, only if you line them up that way.”
Asked what went into creating all of these different personalities, he continued, “I remember Steve Van Zandt saying that Bruce Springsteen always has a number of songs in the scrapbook, ready to go. Steve’s quote was, ‘It’s really annoying.’ I’m that way with characters. I have a number of them. It’s just a question of, ‘Well, do we want ten? Do we want two?'”
“We had a number of them at first,” he explained. “I was like, ‘Listen, the show The Flash should be about the Flash, and not about Wells. So, what will happen is if we do ten, we will end up cutting all their stuff because we can only really afford to have three or four scenes in this arc. We thought it best that we pare it down. We went from ten to six to four, or so. And, so, I think it’s unfortunate the Russian didn’t see the light of day. But, if this show keeps going, there will be plenty of time.”
“I had a bunch of those ready last year when we searched for H.R. I threw the steampunk guy, and the mime guy, and Hells Well, the Texan. Once again, another exercise in shamelessness that went so well that we decided to expand. Business is booming when it comes to the Wells. This year, I pulled out the ones that I wanted to at least get out there right now, but we have plenty more in the pocket,” he said.
“When I do different characters on the show, my goal is to try and fill gaps that we have, and openings we have on the show. So, in the first year, we didn’t have a daily antagonist. We had the main, overarching antagonist, which was the Reverse Flash, which I played. In the second year, we didn’t really have that as much, at least not a comic-book regular the way the Reverse Flash is. So, I introduced Harry, who is kind of socially awkward and difficult and antagonist, but ultimately a good guy at heart,” he recalled. “At least it had some grit and conflict in our daily rapport and within the cortex in STAR Labs and so on and so forth. They made it nice for someone to be antagonizing Snow and Ramone. Then, in the third season, I thought we could do a little more comedy here, so HR was created.”
“These other guys, when I create them, I try and do guys that are a little bit different.” With a German accent, he said, “‘You had this guy that thinks everything that is not German is not good.’ That’s him… Then, the Australian, who is just a bad ass from the Outback, who doesn’t like anybody… I felt it was best if ‘he spoke like that,'” he added with an Australian accent. “That was sort of it and then, they play off each other. I could do that all day and did do it all day.”
“Unfortunately, one of the casualties was Wells the Gray, who was a Gandolf guy basically throwing out nonsequiturs. But, it was more to my liking than to a television show like The Flash. All that stuff ended up on the cutting room floor, which we thought it would. There’s room for Wells the Gray down the line, in Season 17, when I really will be gray.”
Carlos Valdes, who plays Harry’s frenemy Cisco Ramon, also weighed in on the scene. “It was almost too much, you know. It was a very overwhelming process,” he shared. “Obviously, Tom is very good at riffing on this particular character and letting us see different shades of Wells, but this just goes so over the top in such a gratifying way. Yeah, it’s almost too much to handle, you know, because when we shoot different versions, actors being different versions of the same character, it takes time. You gotta get into the makeup, any sort of prosthetic or costumes and stuff like that. That takes time. You do the take with Tom, and there’s stand-ins standing in for the other versions of Tom. And then once you do that coverage, you’ve got to wait 40 minutes for Tom to get processed into another character, and then you shoot that coverage, and then you do that five times, you know. So you have to keep that tiny scene fresh in your mind for hours while you get all that done. But I’ll say this: For as long as it took, he sure made it a lot of fun, just constantly improvising and riffing. I think people will dig it a lot.”
“It’s always fun to work with Tom Cavanagh in whatever. I didn’t get to work with him in I think what this is if I remember correctly. I heard about it. The crew was blown away. He always impresses. He’s a legend,” added The Flash himself Grant Gustin.
Starring Grant Gustin as the Scarlet Speedster, The Flash airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on The CW. The series also stars Jesse L. Martin, Tom Cavanagh, Carlos Valdes, Candice Patton, Danielle Panabaker, Keiynan Lonsdale and more.

Jesse L. Martiny Candice Patton sobre el próximo bebé West
Por Joseph Schmidt - 14 Nov, 2017
The West family has seen their fair share of ups and downs throughout the duration of The Flash . Long lost sons, prophesized deaths, and manipulative super villains tend to complicate things.
And Joe West and his girlfriend Cecile Horton were thrown yet another curveball in Season Four, when Cecile revealed to the Central City detective that she was pregnant.
Actor Jesse L. Martin spoke with ComicBook.com during a recent set visit about his character's reaction and how it will change Joe moving forward.
"He's really happy to be having a baby with Cecil but both of them are scared to death about being older and dealing with a little baby," Martin said. "We both have full-time careers and of course I'm fighting crime with Team Flash so baby's going to put a monkey wrench in the program but I guess it's going to be a good monkey wrench. And who knows what kind of baby is going to show up in Central City, right?"
Previously in the series, Joe and his daughter Iris had to deal with the addition of Wally, whom they never knew about until he came into their lives. Now, Joe is having another child and Iris is getting a very, very young sibling — and she's pretty excited about it, according to Candice Patton.
"I think she's super excited and happy for Joe," Patton said. "It's been a long time coming for him to have a relationship on the show. They're definitely older and going to have a newborn and that's a weird, strange thing. We'll delve into more of that as the season goes on. I think Iris is really excited to be a big sister. Maybe it will inspire her to want to have children sooner rather than later too."
With Iris and Barry set to tie the knot, are wedding bells in the future for Joe and Cecile?
"That's not in the cards yet. But I'm assuming at some point we'll get married? I mean, we're about to have a baby so it's kind of like being married I guess," Martin said.

- El elenco de "The Flash" sobre qué es lo próximo en la lucha contra DeVoe (denofthegeek):
El elenco de "The Flash" sobre qué es lo próximo en la lucha contra DeVoe
Por Kayti Burt - 14 Nov 2017
Tonight's episode of The Flash ended with Barry and Joe sauntering up to DeVoe's house to contront the supervillain point blank. While they found an unassuming DeVoe and his "wife" (aka his supervillain assistant), something tells me Barry isn't going to be fooled by The Thinker's ruse for long.
Den of Geek was part of a group of reporters who visited The Flash set in Vancouver. Here's what the cast teased about what's to come in the story of this season's Big Bad.
"The Thinker is less about Barry and more about his vision of Central City and how he thinks he can make it better and make the world better," said Grant Gustin. "He doesn't really become obsessed with Barry and the team ... He's more all knowing than any Big Bad we've had before. Every time we think we're ahead of him, we realize he's still three steps ahead."
While the three-steps-ahead bit sounds familiar, a Flash supervillain who isn't obsessed with Barry or Team Flash in any personal way is a nice change of pace from what we've seen before on this show.
While DeVoe may not be obsessed with Barry, it sounds like Barry might be obsessed with DeVoe. Gustin teased:
Barry's taking it pretty seriously right away. He starts to, before anybody else on the team, knows for sure that this is our guy and starts to become a little bit obsessed with getting him, because he doesn’t want things to get out of hand again, as they always do. We start to see him unravel slightly for the first time all season, because he's been pretty put together this year.
"It pushes Barry to do some things that could possibly get him in trouble," adds Candace Patton (Iris), saying that it's "troubling" for Iris to see Barry so obsessed with DeVoe.
I think she thinks Barry's gotta take a step back or you could end up in a lot of trouble. You can't go after people like that. There's laws and things. There's going to be a little tension there. Iris is gonna be a little worked about how serious he's taking this DeVoe character.
It sounds like Team Flash will eventually get on board with Barry's perspective on DeVoe — i.e. that he's a supervillain Carlos Valdes (Cisco) teased that the journey to taking on DeVoe will definitely be a team effort and that it be less about stopping DeVoe and more about understanding Team Flash's own role in his larger plan.
"DeVoe has this overarching plan that involves all sorts of circumstantial minutia," said Valdes. He continued:
Whether the team knows it or not, they're already conducting actions that are part of DeVoe's plan and sort of falling for his trap. So it's really more a matter of Team Flash sort of discovering their place within what his plan. Just when you think that the team is getting close to figuring out what DeVoe's intentions are, it goes beyond that, exponentially.
Gustin seemed excited to see DeVoe's storyline play out this season, saying: "He's not a speedster, he's something we've never seen before," while Valdes teased: "I think viewers can expect to go on the ride of their lives."

Jesse L. Martin sobre el juego de Joe del gato y el ratón con The Thinker en 'The Flash'
Por Jenna Anderson - 14 Nov, 2017
The Flash's season-long mystery had a major development tonight, and one of its cast members is excited about what it brings.
Spoilers for tonight's episode of The Flash, 'When Harry Met Harry', below!
Tonight's episode saw Team Flash finally tracking down the location of Clifford Devoe/The Thinker (Neil Sandilands), the season's Big Bad. Joe West (Jesse L. Martin) and Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) came face-to-face with the villain, after weeks of anticipation from fans.
As Martin explained during a recent set visit, this interaction brings about a whole new side of Joe, and a fun dynamic between him and The Thinker.
"Joe's pretty simple when it comes to things like that." Martin explained. "But suddenly I'm like, 'I've got to be smarter than this guy.' Our interactions are like cat and mouse, teasing each other and playing very witty games with each other but like, there's a dark undertone to it."
According to Martin, sharing scenes with Devoe's version of The Thinker brings on a whole new challenge for the show, both in front of and behind the scenes.
"The great part about that character and that actor - who, by the way, is phenomenal - Neil, is like the back and forth, because he's so smart." Martin told ComicBook.com during a recent set visit. "He's so smart. He keeps all of us on our toes. Suddenly we all have to jump up to his level of intellect if we can."
One of Martin's costars echoed this last week, with Gustin chronicling Barry's quest to out-think The Thinker.
"He realizes that it's going to get dirty quick, and before it gets dirty he wants to get ahead of this guy." Gustin explained. "And then they start to realize what a challenging foe he's going to be and different than any other speedsters we've faced in the past. He's not a speedster, he's something we've never seen before. Things are going to take a dark turn quickly in the middle of the year."
The Flash airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on The CW.

El elenco de 'The Flash' reacciona a ese final de "When Harry Met Harry"
Por Jenna Anderson - 14 Nov, 2017
The Flash ended with quite an ending in this week's episode, and the cast has a lot of thoughts on what's next.
Spoilers for tonight's episode of The Flash, 'When Harry Met Harry', below.
Tonight's episode saw Team Flash finally tracking down the location of Clifford Devoe/The Thinker (Neil Sandilands), the season's Big Bad. Joe West (Jesse L. Martin) and Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) came face-to-face with the villain, after weeks of anticipation from fans.
Now Barry has seen Devoe face-to-face, and quickly discovered that things weren't as he expected. So how will that effect Team Flash's battle against the villain?
"I think that the interaction with Devoe gives particularly Barry and subsequently Team Flash a real drive and a real point of view as he starts to move forward with the rest of the season." Danielle Panabaker, who plays Caitlin Snow/Killer Frost, said during a recent set visit. "As he starts to move forward, he can put a face to a name. He’s a man on a mission."
With Barry still dealing with the effects of the Speed Force (and an impending wedding), it sounds like the quest to find Devoe will weigh heavily on him.
"It kind of ends up driving Barry crazy, because he thinks he knows more about this guy, that's he's not all that he's cracked up to be, or that's he's portraying himself to be." Candice Patton, who plays Iris West, explained. "It pushes Barry to do some things that could possibly get him in trouble. Devoe is extraordinarily smart and he's always three, four, five steps ahead of Barry and everyone on Team Flash. So, they have to work really hard to figure out how to get ahead of him."
Could that endeavor have an impact on Iris and Barry's relationship?
"It's troubling for Iris." Patton added. "I think she thinks Barry's gotta take a step back or you could end up in a lot of trouble. You can't go after people like that. There's laws and things. There's going to be a little tension there. Iris is gonna be a little worked about how serious he's taking this Devoe character."
But it sounds like Barry and company should be taking Devoe seriously, considering the still-mysterious plans he has for Central City.
"So basically, DeVoe has this overarching plan that involves all sorts of circumstantial minutia." Carlos Valdes, who plays Cisco Ramon/Vibe, explained. "Whether the team knows it or not, they're already conducting actions that are part of DeVoe's plan and sort of falling for his trap. So it's really more a matter of Team Flash sort of discovering their place within what his plan. Just when you think that the team is getting close to figuring out what DeVoe's intentions are, it goes beyond that, exponentially. I think viewers can expect to go on the ride of their lives."

Estrellas de "Flash" adelantan la obsesión de Barry con 'The Thinker' y la tensión 'WestAllen'

The Thinker is about to become Public Enemy No. 1 for “WestAllen” ‘shippers.
During this Tuesday’s The Flash (The CW, 8/7c), Barry’s fixation with stopping the Big Bad causes “a little bit of tension” between the speedster and his fiancée Iris, star Candice Patton shared during TVLine’s visit to the show’s Vancouver set. “Iris is going to be a little worried about how serious he’s taking this DeVoe character.”
When it comes to Team Flash’s Season 4 foe, “there’s a lot more than meets the eye with him,” the actress teased. “It kind of ends up driving Barry crazy, because he thinks he knows more about this guy, that he’s not all that he’s cracked up to be, or that he’s portraying himself to be. It pushes Barry to do some things that could possibly get him in trouble.”
And that behavior from her soon-to-be hubby is “troubling for Iris,” Patton added. “I think she thinks, ‘Barry, you’ve got to take a step back, or you could end up in a lot of trouble. You can’t go after people like that. There are laws and rules.”.
The Flash SpoilersBarry, however, is determined to get ahead of The Thinker after he “starts to get an inkling, early, that this is going to be somebody serious,” leading man Grant Gustin previewed. While the gang “has their doubts” about Clifford DeVoe, the speedster “starts to – before anybody else on the team knows for sure that this is our guy – become a little bit obsessed with getting him, because he doesn’t want things to get out of hand again, as they always do.” That quest to get his friends and family “on the same page as him” will take its toll on Barry, who starts to “unravel slightly for the first time all season,” Gustin shared.
But while the titular hero is consumed with nipping this latest threat in the bud, “The Thinker is less about Barry and more about his vision of Central City, and how he thinks he can make it better and make the world better,” Gustin said. “He doesn’t really become obsessed with Barry and the team.” Nonetheless, DeVoe is very bad news for the Scarlet Speedster and company, with Gustin warning: “Things are going to take a dark turn quickly in the middle of the year.”
