- The Flash Finale: Teddy Sears sobre el cómo Zoom empuja a Barry hasta su límite (TVInsider):

The Flash Finale: Teddy Sears sobre el cómo Zoom empuja a Barry hasta su límite
Por Damian Holbrook 23 Mayo, 2016 3:15 pm

Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) is in for the race of his life, which also happens to be the title of The Flash’s pulse-pounding Season 2 finale. And it’s not just his speedster nemesis Zoom (Teddy Sears) who has him running wild. “Something extraordinary happens at the end of the [previous] episode that is just shocking,” Sears reveals. “It’s totally out of left field.” It’s also part of the catalyst that throws Barry, who has endured so much already at the hands of his black-suited foe, into a mad dash to destroy Zoom once and for all.

Barry had better hop to it: Zoom still has that master plan to take over Earth-1 and wipe all of the alternate universes out there off the timeline. “He wants to lord over Barry’s planet,” Sears continues, adding that his character—also known as homicidal time-jumper Hunter Zolomon—may be driven less by supernatural evil than simple human envy. “For all of Zoom’s obsession with Barry, I think Zolomon sees him as the guy he could have become. There is a jealousy there.”

The best way to settle a grudge match between the two speed freaks? A race. But since we’re talking about the fate of the multiverse, as well as the S.T.A.R. Labs team and whomever Zoom has locked in that iron mask (yes, that will be revealed!), the stakes are a lot higher than bragging rights, Sears hints. “You can’t imagine that it’s all about Zoom racing Barry. There is certainly more to it.”

- La Finale de "The Flash" Finale va "definitivamente dejar a los fans en shock", promete Panabaker (CBR):

La Finale de "The Flash" Finale va "definitivamente dejar a los fans en shock", promete Panabaker
Por Bryan Cairns, 24 Mayo 2016

With her combination of brains and courage, "The Flash's" Caitlin Snow is hardly a damsel in distress. The S.T.A.R. Labs' scientist has used her unique skills to save the day on numerous occasions -- but her smarts weren't enough to keep her out of the clutches of the evil speedster known as Zoom.

In an effort to convince her to switch sides, the man once thought to be Jay Garrick kidnapped Caitlin, hiding her away on Earth-2. Zoom failed, of course, and the ever resourceful Caitlin escaped and regrouped with Team Flash. Now, in the season finale, Caitlin will push herself to the limit to help Barry rid Earth-1 of Zoom -- once and for all.

Ahead of the season's final chapter, actor Danielle Panabaker spoke with CBR News about Caitlin's heartache and her subsequent personal vendetta against Zoom. She also opened up about how much she enjoyed letting her bad side run wild as Killer Frost, her own surprise at learning the identity of the man in the iron mask, and how much she expects fans will enjoy the finale's set-up for Season 3.

CBR News: Since last season, both you and viewers have been anticipating Caitlin transforming into Killer Frost. How cool was it embodying that character, and did it live up to your expectations?

Danielle Panabaker: It was really cool. It was a little scary at first. I was a little intimidated to take on the character just because I've been playing Caitlin for so long and it was such a different role. I feel very lucky that I got the opportunity to do that.

I did a little bit of research. Our executive producer, Andrew Kreisberg, tried to point me in the direction of looking at the older, original Batman movies and Michelle Pfeiffer and Catwoman and Uma Thurman. It was fun to go back and watch those to get inspiration.

Why was it so important that she had that connection with Earth-2's Ronnie Raymond, that he kind of melted her heart?

That's what is so cool about their relationship and the Firestorm/Killer Frost dynamic. It was fun to see that and keep saying, "The only man I can kiss is the only one I want to." And to see a Caitlin Snow/Ronnie Raymond romance that's so different than the one we saw on Earth-1 felt great.

Caitlin also formed a strong bond with Jay Garrick over the course of this season. What was your reaction when he turned out to be Zoom?

Honestly, I had known since before they had even introduced the Jay Garrick character. It was really fun to play over the season. I just have to say how impressed I was with Teddy Sears' performance, to really see him do two completely different characters. Jay Garrick is so sweet, and when we meet Hunter Zolomon or Zoom, I think Teddy does an incredible job of portraying him.

There wasn't even a single indication to fans that there could be something more to Jay.

It had to be a little bit different than last year with Tom Cavanagh's Harrison Wells, where pretty early on you were having questions about him. This year, Jay just seemed so sweet. You never would have thought anything was wrong.

Zoom definitely came in with a game plan, but he unexpectedly developed these emotions for Caitlin. Do you feel that derailed his plans?

I think it did cause him problems. It has slowed him down a bit. He did fall in love with Caitlin -- he took her back to Earth-2 with him. He's trying to convince her to be on Team Zoom instead of Team Flash. I think it's distracted him a little bit from his ulterior motive, which may be to the benefit of Team Flash.

Caitlin was totally blindsided by Jay's true identity. Is there any part of her that still cares for him?

I don't think she does. It's hard to even know who he is. He's almost legitimately leading a double life. I think there's a piece of her that can probably have empathy for everything he went through, but I'm not sure she would still care for him.

What is Caitlin's role in helping Barry defeat Zoom?

Caitlin actually does play a pretty big role in terms of trying to defeat Zoom. She has a very personal attachment to it, and a little bit of a vendetta. She wants to get Zoom, so she's willing to push herself to new extremes to try and get back at him for what he's done to her.

What's at stake in the finale?

What is pretty incredible about our show is, not only is this our season finale, but I feel the last two episodes were pretty gigantic. Obviously, "Invincible" set up some crazy stuff. I'm interested to see the fans' response to the finale. It's definitely going to shock them. We'll see what it means for Season 3 and going forward.

One of the ongoing mysteries has been the identity of the man behind the iron mask. There's been a lot of speculation who it could be. How surprised do you think audiences are going to be by the revelation?

It was really fun at the beginning of the season - where we didn't know anything about Earth-2 and what everyone's doppelgangers looked like -- to start guessing way back then. I was recently with Robbie Amell and sort of laughing about what fun it would have been if it was him. Obviously, it couldn't be, because we met Deathstorm. As we met more and more characters, it eliminated the options of who it is. It's a great reveal. I was so surprised. Being on set and seeing it was really special.

How does the Season 2 finale lay the groundwork for next year?

To be honest, I don't know much about Season 3. They've just started writing it. They have some new amazing writers on board. That's going to bring some fresh voices to Season 3. But even I was pretty shocked by how they end Season 2. I'm anxious to see what that means.

Cisco was initially concerned that Ronnie's death would lead to Caitlin embracing her dark side. Now, she's lost someone else. In your mind, does Earth-1's Caitlin have the potential to transform into Killer Frost?

I think she does have the potential to become Killer Frost. She's been through a lot. It would be nice if she had a break and we got to see a happier side of Caitlin for a minute, but she does have the potential at some point. You never know what life could throw at her.

The episode, "The Runaway Dinosaur," received quite a bit of praise from fans. What was it like being directed by Kevin Smith?

It was incredible. Unfortunately, I'm disappointed I wasn't in the episode more. Teddy wasn't available because he was shooting his pilot, which just got picked up, so I'm thrilled for him. It was such a bummer for me not to be around that episode more, because [Smith] brought so much to the show, so much heart and warmth. He inspired our crew, sort of at the end of the season when everyone is getting really worn down. Kevin brought a new energy and new life to the set. I'm very grateful to him for that.

Jesse L. Martin y Carlos Valdes apuntan a un traje completo para Vibe
Por Lucas Siegel 24/05/2016

The Flash hits its season finale tonight on The CW, and it promises to be a doozy. After a season full of alternate realities, doppelgängers, and duplicitous villains, it all comes to a head tonight. Which means, of course, it's almost time for us to start thinking about next season.

When Jesse L. Martin, Detective Joe West, and Carlos Valdes, Cisco Ramon/Vibe chatted with Comicbook.com on the red carpet at the CW upfronts, they were looking back a little, but looking forward a little, too. Now that Cisco has working Vibe goggles that help him focus his powers, will he be getting a full costume, too?

"It's gotta be coming. It's coming soon. It's gotta be!" Martin told Comicbook.com enthusiastically. Valdes was a little more hesitant... almost as if he knew something. "Reason would have it," he said, throwing up his hands, "that's all I'm gonna say!"

Fans don't have to worry about Cisco getting a full Vibe costume and abandoning everything his character has been so far, though.

"I think Cisco, more than anything, is a scientist at heart," the actor said. "He's a mechanical engineer, and he's a geek! So I don't think that's ever not going to be a part of him. There's nothing more exciting to him than embracing the unknown."

Martin, meanwhile is looking for some romance for Joe West, and said he thinks he could find it during the big four-show crossover with Supergirl, Arrow, and Legends of Tomorrow.

"I'm kinda hoping that we'd have a little love thing going on," Martin said with a smile when asked about Joe meeting Cat Grant (Calista Flockhart) in National City. "Why not? Joe's single, as far as I can tell she's single, we may as well get together!"

In a more serious moment, Martin also said he'll "do everything he can to make sure Barry's okay" after the sudden death in the penultimate story of the season.

Estrellas de The Flash sobre la 'Emocional' Finale y cómo las Tierras Infinitas mejoraron la serie
Por Joel Keller 24 Mayo, 2016 4:32 pm

Tonight's Season 2 finale of The Flash will see Barry (Grant Gustin) finally confront Zoom (Teddy Sears) and face the possibility of seeing how his friends and loved ones are represented on one of the infinite earths that were introduced this season.

The concept of the infinite earths, which has been a staple of DC's comic universe for years, really opened up things during Season 2, as Gustin explained when we caught up with him on the red carpet of The CW's upfront presentation last week:

"I think conceptually it opens up Earths 3 and 4 and 5, and has led to the infinite amount of characters that already exist on the show, and you can see them in different ways," he said. "I hope we get to see more of Earth 2 Barry, because I love playing him. So nerdy, but a lot of similarities in a way; everything's kinda exaggerated and he doesn't have the same confidence at all in himself. But there will be lots of other Barrys and lots of other Ciscos as we move forward introducing infinite earths. There's infinite possibilities for our characters."

It also led to the ability to cross over with Supergirl last season, and with the Woman of Steel moving to The CW, we know that there will be more crossovers (a four-way cross with The Flash, Supergirl, Arrow and Legends of Tommrow is supposedly in the works.

"I thought when Supergirl was first announced that it would be on The CW," said Gustin. "I was surprised with the move; it's not a common thing. But it belongs here, so it'll be a good thing."

Jesse L. Martin, who plays Barry's surrogate father, Detective Joe West, has really enjoyed playing Earth 2 Joe, who isn't quite the buddy to Barry he is on Earth 1, and his reaction to the idea was, as he told us at the upfront,"Oh! we get to do so many things other than the thing we signed up to do! That's what's exciting to me. Also the idea that not only is there is an Earth 2 but there's infinite earths. We can really go anywhere."

Carlos Valdes, who got to play not only his Earth 1 character Cisco this season but his bad-ass Earth 2 equivalent, agreed. "It's a luxury that not many actors get to have, save for Orphan Black and iZombie, but those girls are on another level," he said.

What has being with this young cast given a veteran like Martin? "Infinite enthusiasm and ideas. They have energy beyond belief. On a day when I feel like I don't know if I've got it all, they roll in this cat is coming up with about 15 different jokes just for one line," he said as he pointed to Valdes. "You get happy about stuff like that, the fact that everybody's so in it, and so invested in their characters and the work is phenomenal. It's like being young again."

As for the finale, Valdes said that "it's a showdown and there will be some major reveals. It's an incredibly emotional episode; bring your hankies to the couch. Grant he went full force on this episode; he didn't hold back. I'm really proud of the work everybody's done on this."

¡El hombre de la máscara de hierro de The Flash habla! (¡¿Qué me decís de esa How Season 2 Finale?!)
Por Jean Bentley | 25 Mayo, 2016 4:02 AM

How about that reveal, y'all?

The Flash's season two finale gave us an answer we've been craving for at least half of the season—among many, many other things—who, exactly, the Man in the Iron Mask was. In true Flash fashion, it turned out to be mind-blowing in the most wonderful of ways.

Although we had to say goodbye to Henry Allen after a truly tragic death (dammit, Zoom!), that's not the end of John Wesley Shipp on the show. It turns out that the man Zoom was holding prisoner in his lair on Earth-2 had a very familiar face. Like many suspected, it was the real Jay Garrick—but with two extra special twists: he's from Earth-3, and he's played by Shipp (who played The Flash in the '90s TV show)!

E! News caught up with Shipp to talk all about the big reveal, and where Henry Allen's death stacks up against the other gone-too-soon TV dad he played, Dawson's Creek's Mitch Leery.

E! News: Did you know all along that you'd be playing the Man in the Iron Mask?

Shipp: I went up there to film the last four episodes knowing that it would be Henry Allen's death. I had no idea that it was going to morph into my ending up playing the role that The Flash audience wanted me to play from the very beginning. I had a long conversation with Greg [Berlanti, executive producer] and then I had a conversation with Andrew [Kreisberg, EP] and I expressed my reservations 25 years later putting on a super hero costume—he sort of allayed my fears about that.

Were you nervous?

I was finding out about it as it was unfolding, which I'm sort of glad [about] in a way because I didn't have time to obsess about it. "Should I do it? Shouldn't I do it? Is this a good idea? People have good memories of me playing the Flash from all those years ago, do I want to tamper with that?" I didn't have time for any of that. I was too busy doing it.

Did you have any theories as to who the Man in the Iron Mask could be?

I didn't. I didn't know! I mean, I was riding along reading Twitter. I thought there was a good chance that it was Eddie, given his history through the whole thing. I thought there was a good chance it might be Grant, because we had seen when we were going through the whatever that is where they went from Earth to Earth. We saw Grant [Gustin] with a beard in a prison suit. We saw my version of the Flash coming through the portal along with Supergirl and all the others. I really didn't know. Never once did it occur to me that it would be me. Not once.

I actually really wanted it to be you. It's perfect! The original TV Flash is the original Flash!

Isn't it good storytelling? That's what I said to Greg. I said, "You know, take me out of the equation. It's really brilliant TV. It's really good TV."
Read

So you'll be a major part of season three going forward, yes?

That's what they've told me. There are endless possibilities—they're just now mapping out that they can do with the character Jay Garrick. I mean, come on, he's the head of the Justice Society of America. They just mentioned that they were going to be doing that on Legends. They just announced multiple crossovers. Now we have Supergirl who has come from my old network, CBS. The possibilities are literally endless.

How do you approach playing Jay Garrick?

Although he looks just like Barry's father, he has got to be—for the purposes of the story and for this story to work, and for Barry's psychological drama to work—a very different character. It's got to be clear as soon as that iron mask comes off that who we are seeing is not Henry Allen. That's my challenge.

Now that we know the big reveal, that line a few weeks ago about "Garrick" being Henry's mother's maiden name makes a little more sense.

I know! It was right there! If you noticed, I tried to deliver that into my coffee cup. I thought, "I don't want to give this away. How can I throw this line away?" So I did it as I was drinking.

You also played another TV dad who met an untimely end. Which death do you think was more tragic, Mitch Leery's or Henry Allen's?

Mitch Leery, you know, death by ice cream. Then I got to sort of tie up my relationships with everyone, but the sad all happened with everyone else and then I was off the show. This one is harder. This one was harder on me mostly because of the special chemistry that everyone has talked about in season one and season two. It was really hard on me and yet I knew I was going forward in the new role, but still!

The scene that actually made me the saddest was before Henry's death, Grant, Barry is thinking he's invincible, Henry runs out into the hallway to say you know, you still have to be careful. … You think we are headed to another father-son warm embrace moment, but instead of that, Barry puts his hand on my shoulder. … Suddenly in that moment Henry realizes that the old Barry-Henry relationship isn't there anymore. It'd be what I'd imagine a father would feel when your son reaches that stage of maturity where he doesn't need you that way anymore. I said to the director, "You know, I went home after we filmed that scene and I felt so cold because I knew we were at the end of something." It set up Henry's death beautifully.

El Hombre de la máscara de hierro de The Flash habla: el giro de la Season Finale '¡me sacó la mente de sus engranajes!'
Por Matt Webb Mitovich / 24 Mayo 2016, 6:01 PM PDT

No matter what Earth you live on, be forewarned that the following contains major spoilers from the Season 2 finale of The Flash.

This Tuesday on The Flash‘s Season 2 finale, a series of season-ending, heartbreaking twists were capped by the awaited reveal of Zoom’s mysterious prisoner aka The Man in the Iron Mask.

By the time The Flash the clock struck 9, viewers learned that the familiar, hidden face belonged to cast member John Wesley Shipp, who a week prior had been killed off as Earth-One’s Henry Allen and now is playing Earth-Three’s Jay Garrick. For good measure, Shipp “speedsuited up,” once again donning a Flash costume as he did on TV in the early 1990s.

TVLine spoke with Shipp about seeing his role on today’s Flash evolve, the practical problems with wearing an iron helmet, life on Earth-Three and more.

TVLINE | When you first joined The CW’s The Flash, did you get any hint that there was a long-term plan for you, or did you assume your casting was just a knowing wink to the 1990s series?
I figured that I was brought on for a number of reasons. One, there was still a very loyal fan base for the first show — including [Flash executive producers] Andrew Kreisberg and Greg Berlanti and [DC Comics chief content officer] Geoff Johns, who informed me that they had been fans growing up with the first show and wanted to include me on some level. I figured from the beginning that my job was what they said it was: to play Henry Allen; to sort of graft my following onto Grant [Gustin], which was a joy and a pleasure to do; and to be a tool in Grant’s tool box, a place where Barry could come when the special effects stopped and really bare his soul to the audience, through Henry Allen. I figured once that was completed, and Barry had fully accepted his role as a superhero, my job was done. So, I have to say that Henry’s death this season was not a surprise to me; I was fully anticipating it. What I wasn’t anticipating was what comes next, and that blew my mind. Blew it right off its hinges.

TVLINE | If I told you 26 years ago you’d be wearing a Flash costume again, would you have believed me?
I would not. I remember the last scene that Mark Hamill and I did out in southeast L.A. at 5 in the morning. I was in the Flash suit and of course he was being The Trickster, and I was so relieved to never have to put on the superhero suit again that I ripped the wings off and threw them in the air. Mark got those wings, and he still has them — it never occured to me to keep anything. But because it was such a grueling season — we had to do practical effects, we did not have the possibility of doing so much in CGI — I swore at that moment that I would never, ever get into another superhero suit ever again. Well, now 25 years older and 25 years wiser, I know never to make those kinds of statements!

TVLINE | Had you been Flash Iron Mask Revealedkeeping tabs on this Man in the Iron Mask mystery? Were you aware of it at all?
I was, yes, because I’m very fond of that cast. I got to be in the enviable position of being both a part of the show and a fan of it, because I got to drop in, skim some good emotional material, and then sit back and watch it. Now, I have to tell you something about the [stand-in] actor who played the Man in the Iron Mask, which I find remarkable. I asked to meet him, and if you go back and watch the way he uses his hands, he was told to study three actors, and I was one of them. The Man in the Iron Mask can only communicate in the way he uses his hands, and the day that he filmed those scenes, he was told it was me that he was to be imitating. And I was told by everybody that his work was remarkable in that way. It just proves that there are no small roles. Someone who shows that much dedication, my hat was off to him.

So yeah, I knew about the Man in the Iron Mask, but I didn’t know where any of that would come down, and I certainly didn’t think it would have anything to do with me.

TVLINE | Did any tailoring need to be done to his outfit when you went to assume the role, any adjustments to the Iron Mask?
No, that’s just a big ol’ heavy iron mask and it clamps right down. The first time they put it on me, I tried to say something in a normal voice and I almost deafened myself — the reverb in there was like Yow! I was like, “I really hope I don’t have to keep this on very long, because it is so heavy and so claustrophobic.” But it’s very effective — it looks menacing!The Flash

TVLINE | Have you been told anything about the show’s version of Earth-Three? On Earth-Two, for example, people tend to be opposites, there’s a “retro” veneer to the aesthetics…..
The only thing I know about Earth-Three is what I gathered from the comics, that that’s where Jay Garrick is, that that’s where these old villains go. Indeed, that’s what happens at the end of our finale — Zoom turns into Black Flash and goes off to Earth-Three, so I’ll be very interested when we get to the point of exploring exactly what Earth-Three is like and how close they’ll stay to the comics.

TVLINE | And there’s always the opportunity for you to play Earth-Two’s Henry.
He’s been mentioned but never seen, right. Listen, Greg and Andrew flew up from L.A. during the filming of the last episode, and we had a good, long conversation…. I always knew Henry Allen was closed-ended. He was there for a specific purpose, to get Barry to the point where he could fully own his powers. Henry always had a limited shelf life. But morphing into this new character, the opportunities are limitless, because, as you mentioned, there are limitless worlds, there are so many different things that could happen…. In fact, Greg told me that one reason they were so excited about having me morph into Jay Garrick is that there are so many more ways that they could use me. I can’t wait to see what they are.

TVLINE | You recently, finally had scenes with your former 1990s costar, Amanda Pays. What do the two of you make of this new Flash?
We just get together and laugh. We look at the young kids and go, “I’m so glad it’s them doing the heavy lifting now instead of us.” [Laughs] We remember the hours and hours and hours we worked on the back lot at Warner Bros. or on location…. It’s made somewhat easier now by the fact that you can do so much more in CGI, but still, for the person in the red suit…. It’s a good thing that Grant is 25 years old! [Laughs]

TVLINE | That’s what Lee Majors once told me, that being the “The” in a show’s title — The Fall Guy, The Six Million Dollar Man… The Flash — is arduous work.
That’s the best way to put it.

- 'The Flash' Season 2 Finale: Actor habla sobre la revelación del Hombre de la Máscara de Hierro (Access Hollywood):

'The Flash' Season 2 Finale: Actor habla sobre la revelación del Hombre de la Máscara de Hierro
Por Jolie Lash 24 Mayo, 2016 6:14 PM PDT

"The Flash" found a new ally in the show's Season 2 finale.

(Spoiler Alert: This story contains major details from "The Flash." Watch first and bookmark this link to come back to later.)

Barry Allen may have lost his father when the villainous Zoom killed Henry Allen, but a man with his dad's face turned up in the Season 2 finale. The multiverse expanded a little more in Tuesday night's episode when viewers found out the man in the iron mask is Earth 3's Jay Garrick, a hero now being played by the man who also played Barry's dad – John Wesley Shipp.

John, who played Barry Allen/The Flash in 1990's "The Flash," found out about the twist in March, just as he was coming to the realization that Henry Allen had maybe served his purpose to his young, hero son Barry.

"The whole first season was so wonderful to perform that function for Grant's Barry -- to be the one place where, when all the special effects stopped, when the music stopped, when the lights went down, he had a place where he could come and bare his soul. And it was important also for the audience to be able to see that side of Barry, and I really felt that that was my role as Henry Allen was to provide him that tool in his toolbox. So, I think once we had achieved that, I figured that Henry Allen's shelf life [was] coming to an end," John told Access Hollywood. "I didn't know everything that was going to come after that."

After a costume fitting where he was "trying on this ripped prison looking suit," John learned all on a phone call with his former "Dawson's Creek" boss, "The Flash" Executive Producer Greg Berlanti.

"We had a long conversation, and they said, 'Well, this is what we're thinking.' And at the end of it, my jaw dropped and I was like, 'Well, first of all, let me just say -- and not because it's me -- but this is brilliant television and it's brilliant sort of channeling of… audience expectation, because all along they wanted me to be Jay Garrick,'" John said, referring to fans of the show, who at conventions around the world would often tell him they loved him as Henry, but wanted to see him as Jay.

John said now feels like the right time to play Jay.

"I would not [have] wanted to have come on and played Jay Garrick from the get-go, because to come on and play a costumed superhero again, 25 years later, without the intervening character... Henry Allen was all about the truth of the moment, was a character part, was Barry's link to vulnerability and truth and honesty and it was all about the work that we did actor to actor. Since I have grounded myself in that, I think maybe now I can go have some fun once again in a costume, although it blows my mind. I can hardly say it. Whoever expected to be running around in a superhero suit a quarter of a century later? It's kind of unbelievable," he said.

So what was the costume process like for John this time around?

"Well, I'll tell you that so many improvements have been made in 25 years that I'm very grateful for. One is there's an under suit and an outer shell, which means the under suit can be washed. That wasn't the case 25 years ago. They'd just hang the suits in my trailer and spray them with Lysol. So, there are definite improvements," John said.

John praised "The Flash" costume designer Maya Mani for crafting the Jay Garrick/The Flash suit.

"Maya and that group, you really have to hand it to them," John said of their work. "And let's just say I came out of those fittings looking a hell of a lot better than I looked going into those fittings through their wizardry. And when I walked on the set in the Jay Garrick uniform, the crew and the cast all burst into applause -- a lot of that applause was from Maya. It was just very exciting, and the whole cast -- and this is a testament to who this cast is and what makes them special -- they just could not have been more affirming, because I was very, very – obviously I'm not who I was 25 years ago and nor do I pretend to be, but at one point, Grant turned the monitor on the camera around so I could see it and he was very excited. He said, 'Look, look, look what you look like! Look at it. This is great!' and Jesse said, 'I'm just so glad man, that you agreed to do this,' and Tom [Cavanagh] came to the trailer and was talking to me about how it had worked and that the true testament was not what the other actors or your friends said, but what the members of the crew -- [they] would just come up spontaneously and give a thumbs up or give, 'That looks fantastic,' or be very excited. So, I'll see. It'll be my own standards [Tuesday] night, how I react to it, but I have to say, I got all the affirmation in the world from doing it."

Going forward, John confirmed he'll be a part of Season 3.

"I've been cleared to let you know that yes, there are lots of plans for me going forward in ways that will sort of excite me from a fun point of view and challenge me as an actor. So yeah, I'll be around," he said.

And it will be interesting to see how Jay reacts to Barry, who sees his dad's face whenever he looks at him.

"I think that the psychological construct going forward of course [is Barry] has lost his dad. He always wanted to be mentored by Jay, but he couldn't be because Jay was an imposter. And now he has the possibility of being mentored by a superhero, but he looks just like his dad," John said. "So there's going to be the impulse to want to relate to Jay like his father, and Henry and Barry had a very specific, very intimate, very vulnerable, hands-on relationship, and that's not going to be who Jay is," John said.

Although the reveal is now out, John said some of his friends in Hollywood actually figured it out by the hand movements of the actor who portrayed the man in the mask earlier in the season.

"They had him study three actors, and they said, 'We want you to look at the way they use their hands, the way they gesture, the way their hands are in repose,' because all he could do was tap and make hand gestures as you know, and then the day that he filmed it, they told him, 'OK, it's John. We want you to imitate John of the three,' and when I go back now and I look at that, I'm amazed at the specificity of this guy's work and it's not only me, people were calling me – people in the business, actors, going, 'Look at the way he uses his hands. It's almost a giveaway, because it's so specific to how you gesture,'" John recounted. "So I definitely wanted to meet that guy, and a lot of the credit goes to him because it was not me."

"The Flash" returns Tuesdays, this fall on The CW.

- ¡The Flash revela al hombre de la máscara de hierro! (EW):

¡The Flash revela al hombre de la máscara de hierro!
Por Natalie Abrams 24 Mayo 2016 — 9:00 PM EDT

Warning: This story contains major spoilers from the season 2 finale of The Flash. Read at your own risk!

The Scarlet Speedster saved the day in The Flash finale — and then he changed it.

While Barry (Grant Gustin) was ultimately able to stop Zoom (Teddy Sears) — which involved making a time remnant of himself to help thwart Zoom’s plans to destroy the multi-verse — the death of his father weighed especially hard on him with the reveal of the identity of the man in the iron mask: Jay Garrick (John Wesley Shipp), a superheroed version of Henry Allen from Earth-3. (The move lets Shipp suit up again as The Flash after playing the titular hero in the ’90s TV series.)

Having lost both his mother and his father, Barry decided to run back in time and prevent the Reverse Flash from killing his mom, effectively changing the future. What does this all mean? EW caught up with Shipp to get scoop on season 3 and that iron mask reveal:

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: When did you first find out that a version of Henry Allen from another earth was actually the man in the iron mask?
JOHN WESLEY SHIPP: I went up March 1 to shoot my last four-episode arc. I knew that Henry Allen would be dying, but that’s all I knew. I went for my first costume fitting, and I was trying on this shredded [costume], what looked like a prison uniform. I’m thinking, “This is interesting.” Then, a mention was made of an iron mask. Then I had a conversation with Grant and Jesse [L. Martin]. They were like, “Yes, do you know what’s happening?” And I’m like, “Yup, apparently I’m the man in the iron mask.” They were like, “That’s all you know?” “What do you mean, ‘That’s all I know?’ Isn’t that enough?” They said, “You better call Greg [Berlanti].”

I immediately emailed Greg, who of course has six or seven projects going; he’s the busiest man in Hollywood. Three minutes later, he emailed me back and we had this long conversation. Later on, I had one with Andrew [Kreisberg], who flew up to Vancouver. They laid out this story, everything that they wanted to do. I have to tell you, my jaw dropped. I didn’t see it coming at all. I remember saying after he had told me the whole thing, I said, “Well, take me out of the equation, this is brilliant television, and it’s also a brilliant channeling of fan expectation.”

From the very first moment it was announced that I would be on The Flash, everyone was saying, “He’s got to be Jay Garrick.” That was not my choice. My first choice would’ve been Henry Allen, because it was an acting role, it was a non-costumed character. I felt that, in this medium, I could legitimize myself as an actor with the quiet moments. It was all about the truth of the moment. Now having played that, to turn around and morph me into the character that the audience wanted me to play from the beginning is a brilliant stroke. That they can make it work, I’m still dumbfounded. I am very excited, bordering on nervous to see what the reaction will be [Tuesday] night.

What was that feeling like once you got to suit up again as The Flash?
It was nerve-racking. Andrew Kreisberg said to me, “You get to be The Flash again!” I dubiously went, “Yeah, I know.” He said, “Why? What?” “Andrew, it’s been 25 years.” Of course, being very kind, he stepped back, looked me up and down, and said, “Yeah, but look at you! You’re fine!” Putting on that costume, I saw everything that is wrong about me now that wasn’t wrong physically with me 25 years ago. I was very nervous.

The minute I stepped onto the set, the crew and the cast burst into applause. Of course, I understand that was for the costume designer, who is just brilliant in designing the costume. When the crew comes up to you and says, ‘Fantastic, that’s great!’ it made me feel more comfortable. At one point, bless his heart, Grant turned the monitor around during my big reveal when I turn around in the suit so I could see it. He’s like, “Look at this! It’s great!” Jesse L. Martin would go, “I’m so glad you agreed to do this.” I looked over and saw Candice with her hand over her heart, which is a wonderful expression. I just got the most incredible and wonderful support from the entire cast.

I’m still waiting to see what it’s going to look like [Tuesday] night. I comfort myself in knowing that Jay Garrick, chronologically, is 92 years old. However, he and his wife were exposed to age-reversing vapors, so he’s physically 50 years old. I’m like, “OK, I just have to remember that. I’m under no obligation to look like I looked 25 years ago.” I will be nervous watching [Tuesday] night, that’s for sure. Although, I so trust my producers.

It’s like what Mark Hamill said when he found out they wanted him to be the Trickster, “Are you kidding me? I could barely work the unitard 25 years ago. They want me to be the Trickster again?” He said he trusted Greg and Andrew enough that he figured that if they were going to have him come back and do it, they would do it in such a way that he felt honored and protected. That was the case. I believe it was the case also with me. It’s a little nerve wracking. When I stop and think about what’s going to be on the air [Tuesday], yeah, I’m a little nervous about it, but what an opportunity going forward.

Regarding the man in the iron mask, were you in the costume the whole time?
I wasn’t in it until the finale. Let me give the actor who was in it all the kudos in the world. He was apparently told to study three different actors and how we use our hands; I was one of them. The morning where he filmed those scenes where he’s communicating with his hands, he was told it was me. Judging from what I saw and the reaction of my friends who were actors, that actor did a remarkable job.

On the one hand, Henry Allen has died and Jay Garrick has left Earth-1. On the other hand, Barry has gone back in time and saved his mother, which changes everything. What does this mean for your future on the show? Are we going to see you back next season?
Yes. I’ve been given permission to say that yes, they have all kinds of exciting and interesting plans for me, that are interesting not only in the context of the storyline, but they continue to spin out, which will be very challenging for me as an actor. That’s all I’m allowed to say about that. But yes, I will be back next season.

How do you think Henry would feel if he knew Barry had changed the past to save his mom?
We know already, don’t we? Henry has already said unequivocally when Barry came to Iron Heights to say, “I can save her, I can get you out of here.” I go, “No, absolutely not. Things happen for a reason. There are unintended consequences, Barry. You cannot go and change one thing without it having myriad unintended affects.” Henry Allen was very clear with Barry back in Iron Heights that he should not go back and — excuse my French — f— with the timeline. You cannot do that. It’s one of the reasons why Barry, the first time around, stopped himself from stopping the Reverse-Flash from killing his mother. Now he’s decided, “What do I have left to lose? I’ve lost everything? I’ve lost my father. I’ve lost my mother. Screw it. What else can go wrong?” So he decides to go back and do what Henry had advised him not to do.

How do you think this is going to change the show?
That’s going to be very interesting to find out, isn’t it? That is the exact question that we want left in the minds of our audience members when the curtain comes down on our finale. [Laughs.]

After Barry’s father got out of jail, viewers expected him to be around, but he left town. What came with that decision? Was that because you weren’t planning to do so many episodes?
I really think it was purely a technical consideration, that they had so many stories they wanted to tell, they had so many characters they needed to spin out. I personally had no desire to hang around, drinking beer and eating pizza on the sofa in my underwear saying, “Well, Barry, you going to the crime lab today?” I don’t think that would’ve served me having played The Flash in the past. It wouldn’t have served Henry Allen. It would not have interested me. They needed to get Henry off to one side.

The bulk of what I came on to do was achieved in the first season. That was to provide Barry with a place for him to come when the special effects die down, the music is quiet, and the suit came off; a place where Barry could go for emotional safety, where he could let his guard down and the audience could see inside this character. That was the function of Henry Allen; that was the tool in Barry’s tool box that Henry Allen was. Also, from a technical standpoint, to grasp my audience, which thankfully was still very present from the 1990 show onto the new effort.

After that, there was a question of, “OK, what do we do with Henry?” I didn’t want to hang around. What I loved about the way they used Henry first season is I came in when it was important, when it was needed, when it was necessary. I got to do some lovely, beautiful work. But I would’ve hated to be hanging around in the background at S.T.A.R. Labs with no real purpose, other than just to have me there. Andrew and I talked about that scene, and I said, “It’s got to be about, on some level, Henry believes that he would just be in the way if he stayed.” In order to give his son the space to be the superhero that he can be, he needed to leave town. Then, when his son came to him and said, “I’ve lost my powers,” well that’s a different ballgame. Now he needs his dad again, and his dad comes back. I think the reason they brought me back for the last four is they knew they had to get the audience to reinvest in Henry again so that his death would mean more.

- 'The Flash' revela la identidad del hombre de la máscara de hierro: "Nunca lo vi venir" (THR):

'The Flash' revela la identidad del hombre de la máscara de hierro: "Nunca lo vi venir"
Por Sydney Bucksbaum 24 Mayo, 2016 6:00pm PT

[Warning: this story contains spoilers from Tuesday's season two finale of The Flash, "The Race of His Life."]

John Wesley Shipp's days as a speedster are no longer behind him on The Flash.

The original Barry Allen from the 1990 The Flash series has played father to Grant Gustin's Barry Allen on The CW reboot for two years. But the season two finale revealed that, just one episode after Henry Allen's tragic death at the hands of Zoom (Teddy Sears), Shipp is also playing the identity of the man in the iron mask that Zoom kept locked up in his lair. But this isn't just another Earth's version of Henry Allen. Shipp is the Earth-3 version of Jay Garrick, the original speedster that Zoom/Hunter Zolomon was pretending to be all year to get closer to Barry and the S.T.A.R. Labs team.

"I never saw this coming," Shipp tells The Hollywood Reporter of the twist. "I left at the beginning of the season, I came back once, but for the most of the season, I was gone. So to be brought back as part of a triple whammy, first with Henry's death, which I expected, then the reveal of the man in the iron mask, which is me, which I didn't expect, and then I certainly didn't expect the man in the iron mask to be Jay Garrick. It's a triple whammy for sure."

But Shipp wasn't told about this shocking revelation in any concrete way.

"I went up on March 1 to film the last four episodes and I began hearing things," Shipp says with a laugh. "I was fitted in this costume that was all brown and shredded and like a prison costume. But it obviously wasn't a Henry Allen costume. And then I started hearing about fittings for an iron mask. I wrote [executive producer] Greg [Berlanti] and email saying, 'I'm starting to hear things about characters that I may or may not be playing going forward. What's going on here?'"

Shipp continues with a laugh, "I was dying for him to talk to me. Of course he got back to me within three minutes and he was like, 'Oh my God, I thought they had already talked to you!' So we had a great conversation and he laid out this story for me and the series of reveals in the last couple of episodes. I have to tell you, my mind was blown."

When Shipp first began to process the big Jay Garrick revelation, he wasn't sure how he felt about it.

"I had a couple of reactions. One is that it's great TV," Shipp says. "And it's really an expert channeling of fan expectations, because the audience always wanted me to be Jay Garrick from the very beginning. And I felt some apprehension of assuming the role of a costumed superhero, a quarter of a century later after I had done it before."

While viewer speculation ran rampant all season long about who was the man in the iron mask, Shipp didn't have any ideas or theories of who he thought it would be.

"The writers know how to keep things secret and how to throw everyone off," Shipp says. "I also think it worked to our advantage that absolutely everyone was convinced that Henry Allen was actually Zoom. When they turned out to be wrong about that, they were a little gun shy about being burned twice by saying that I was the man in the iron mask."

But Shipp was glad that he didn't have to play this speedster role right out of the gate.

"When this role came to me initially, I wanted to play Henry Allen. I didn't want to suit up again right away," Shipp says. "'Is this all this guy can do? Run around in a costume?' But Henry Allen was a quiet, truthful, emotional character grounded in grit. He was a true character role in the midst of all this action and adventure. Having done that for two years, now I feel like, OK, I've proven myself again as an actor. Now maybe I can get in and have a little fun as a costumed superhero again."

What excites Shipp the most about taking on the new role is the acting challenge of making this character completely different from Henry Allen.

"He looks like just Barry's father but it's vital that he not be Henry Allen," Shipp says. "Coming out of the iron mask, my challenge was: how do we let the audience know right away that this is not Henry Allen?"

And that means Jay's dynamic with Barry is going to be completely different from Henry's.

"Barry just lost the person he's closest to, his father, the person he could be vulnerable with, who he could cry with," Shipp says. "They had a very physical, hands-on relationship. It was very important to Barry. But that's not who Jay is. Jay has no idea when he comes out of that iron mask, the emotional mine field that he is walking into. Going forward, that's going to be interesting to explore."

Of course, Jay's appearance means quite a lot to Barry.

"He wants to have the same relationship with Jay that he had with his father, but Jay is coming from place of, 'That has nothing to do with who I am,'" Shipp says. "Barry and Jay have to make their own relationship which will be separate and distinct from the Henry and Barry relationship. That was the challenge."

He continues, "This isn't the Henry/Barry relationship in another form. Jay is a very different guy. People say that I, John Wesley Shipp, am the original Flash, but he's the original original Flash. This is the Golden Age Flash, the head of the Justice Society. This is the real Flash daddy. I have to remind myself of that, because there were some aspects of the Henry/Barry relationship that I treasured, the absolute emotional vulnerability, being a safe haven for him, that emotional connection. It's going to be very tempting for me to want to go back and play that dynamic again, but the Jay/Barry dynamic is going to be very different."

It's pretty coincidental timing that The Flash would introduce the founder of the Justice Society of America right at the same time that Legends of Tomorrow revealed that Justice Society member Rex Tyler aka Hourman (Patrick J. Adams) would have a major role in season two of the Arrow/The Flash spinoff series.

"There have been endless suggestions and possibilities [that I can cross over to Legends as Jay Garrick]," Shipp says. "Jay Garrick formed the Justice Society. Not that I know of anything concrete, but this character is so open-ended. Henry Allen had a shelf life. He had one purpose: to be there to support Barry. Jay Garrick, it's wide open. Who knows what we're going to see? That's very exciting."

Shipp is grateful that his time on The Flash will extend long after his first character's tragic death.

"It has been indicated to me that I will play an important role going forward, again," Shipp says. "But this is Grant Gustin's The Flash. He is the speedster on the show. I will be privileged to show up and support his journey in any way that I can. But it has been indicated to me that the palate is so much broader now and there's so many more things I can do on the show now."

But most of all, he's relieved that he can finally live up to fan expectations when it comes to who he's playing on The Flash.

"No matter where I go, I always get the same message from fans: 'Yes, we love you as Henry Allen, but we really were hoping you'd be Jay Garrick,'" Shipp says with a laugh. "Now that that's coming to fruition, I can't wait to see what's going to happen on the Twitterverse. I can't wait to see fans' reactions when suddenly, I'm dawning the mantle of the character that just about every Flash fan wanted me to play from the get go. That's going to be a wonderful treat for the audience. I'm just going to bathe in the reaction."

- The Flash: Season 2 Finale: habla el hombre de la máscara de hierro (IGN):

The Flash: Season 2 Finale: habla el hombre de la máscara de hierro
Por Terri Schwartz 24 Mayo 2016

Major spoilers for The Flash's Season 2 finale continue below. If you don't know who the Man in the Iron Mask is, read on at your own risk.

The Flash gave away its biggest secret(s) of Season 2 in Tuesday's finale: not only is the Man in the Mask Jay Garrick, but Jay Garrick is the doppelgänger of Barry Allen's father, Henry Allen.

It's a nice bit of poetry for star John Wesley Shipp, who played Barry Allen/The Flash in the 1990 The Flash series that aired on CBS. Now he's a speedster on the show again, and in a role that seems like it will have major repercussions on the series. Shipp got on the phone to discuss the massive reveal and what it means looking forward to Season 3. Read the full interview below.

IGN: Is it a little surreal to you that you once again are a Scarlet Speedster on The Flash?

John Wesley Shipp: You know, it's very surreal. I remember after we did the last shot in 1991 and I ripped the gold wings off and threw them in the air -- and Mark Hamill actually retrieved them and still has them -- I was sort of like, "You know what, I will never, ever get into another superhero costume ever again." This just goes to show you never say never, you know? I think what makes this possible for me are a number of things. Number one, the culture has completely changed. Getting into a superhero costume in 2016 is a quite different proposition than it was in 1990, 1991, you know what I mean? People weren't quite comfortable. I as an actor wasn't quite comfortable. Television audiences still weren't sure; "OK, are we supposed to take this seriously or is it supposed to be camp? Which way are we going?"

Well, now everybody is on board. Particularly the younger actors, I watch Grant [Gustin] and his ease. He wears his suit like a second skin. There is no hesitation whatsoever on the part of these younger actors who are now wearing superhero costumes because it is part of mainstream culture. They just don't give it a thought. From my perspective having done it 25 years ago when that wasn't the case, when it was a bit of a risk for someone who wanted to consider themselves a serious actor to put on a red foam latex suit with golden ears, it was something of a risk then, but it's not anymore. There's an enormous amount of freedom that comes with that.

IGN: How long have you know that this reveal was coming? Have you been the Man in the Iron Mask the whole time?

Shipp: No. In fact, kudos to the actor who was the Man in the Iron Mask. People were calling me once they found out what I would be doing, and they said, "By the way, have you watched the guy who has been in the iron mask all season? It's uncanny." People who know me very well and know how I use my hands and know how I gesture, they said, "It's like he studied you." I've talked to him, and he actually was told to study three different actors on the show, and I was one of them, and to look at how we gestured, how we moved our hands. And then the day that he filmed his stuff they told him it was me. They told him it was me before they told me it was me! [laughs]

IGN: Who were the other two actors? Do you know?

Shipp: I don't know. I didn't ask. I didn't ask.

IGN: What was your reaction to finding out not only that you were the Man in the Mask, but that he was a different version of Henry Allen who is Jay Garrick?

Shipp: I know. It's like being part of a triple whammy. I was kind of inactive this season, and then all of the sudden right here in the four last episodes to be part of a triple whammy. The one whammy of course is not unexpected: Henry Allen's death. I felt he had, as a character device, served his purpose. He had brought Barry from first having his powers to the point where he's totally comfortable being a superhero. That was not unexpected.

When I arrived March 1st up to Vancouver and I had a costume fitting, and the first costume they fitted me for was this sort of ripped up, brown prison-looking suit, and I'm thinking, "Hmm. I haven't been in Iron Heights in a long time, and even when I was it wasn't ripped up. What's this all about?" And then she said, "Of course, the iron mask [props] are done by the art department," and I'm like, "Iron mask?" They're like, "You mean you don't know?" I went and I talked to Grant and Jesse [L. Martin] and they said, "So, I guess you know" -- everybody was very excited -- "I guess you heard what's going on." I said, "Yeah, I'm the Man in the Iron Mask! Who knew?"

There was this long pause, and they said, "Is that all you know?" I said, "What do you mean? There's more?" And they went, "Oh yeah. Maybe you'd better call Greg [Berlanti]." Greg, who I have a wonderful relationship with and admire him both as a friend and a colleague, I e-mailed him and I said, "You know, I've been hearing little snippets about characters I may or may not be playing going forward, and I think maybe we better have a conversation." About three minutes later, he and I were on the phone and he laid out this story. What I love about it is it's three-pronged. It's like the one-two-three-knockout. ... Three, which blows my head off, is that it's Jay Garrick.

IGN: Fans have been concerned that there wouldn't be a Jay Garrick after the reveal that Zoom is really Hunter Zolomon. Why do you think it's so important that Jay be a part of this show now?

Shipp: I think it's extremely important. Particularly, when I was watching Legends [of Tomorrow], and they were announcing that they were going to be dealing with the Justice Society of America and knowing that Jay Garrick was the founding member of the Justice Society of America and that all of these shows are going to be overlapping, it's very important to have him there. It's also really interesting that I got to play Henry Allen, who sort of took Barry from just having his powers to being comfortable with his powers, and now I get to morph into the character that serves to take him from he's a new superhero who fully owns it to whatever the next level is going to be.

Back in the comic books I know that Jay Garrick taught Wally West the Speed Force. I did actually more research about Jay Garrick than I did when I found out I was going to play Barry Allen. I didn't really know a lot about him. Given what Andrew [Kreisberg] and Greg are creating, particularly now with Supergirl moving under the umbrella of The CW, we're going to have this great big universe. Of course the original speedster has to be there. I'm blown away.

The funny thing is when it was announced I was going to be on this show, everybody said, "Oh, you have to be Jay Garrick," and I was thinking no. I heard about Henry Allen and I thought that's the actor's role. That's the character that has the grit, that has the one-on-one with Barry, that will have the emotional scenes, that will have the vulnerable [moments] unrelated to costumes or superheroes or music or special effects. When everything stopped, it would be the calm, quiet moment that relied on the words and the relationship, and that's the character that I wanted. Now that I played that and proved myself once again as an actor I might be able to have fun.

IGN: But also you and Grant must be talking about the rich material you're going to get from Barry's new mentor having the face of his now-dead father.

Shipp: Absolutely. Somebody put it this way: Jay Garrick has no idea the emotional minefield that he's walking into. That says it better than I could. When the iron mask comes off and I turn around and I see Grant's face, of course he plays the scene beautifully. Any scene with any emotional content he plays beautifully. Of course, Jay doesn't know what's wrong. "Oh, what's the matter? I'm Jay, I'm the original Jay Garrick," and [Barry] has to leave the room. Then we have to deal with that. I think the payoff is going to be that Henry was a place that Barry could come when he was really at his most vulnerable and let his guard down. We also were a very tactile relationship, a very huggy father and son. Grant joked, "I've hugged you more than I've hugged my own father!" I think that was an important dynamic for a young man who's father was ripped from him and put in prison when he was 10 years old.

Now flash forward and he loses his father and suddenly here's a guy who's put in a mentor position who looks just like his dad. I would think that there would be those moments when he's going to want to relate to Jay, and he's going to want to reexperience the lost moments that he was just beginning to have with his brother. Well, Jay's a completely different person. Jay's not going to understand any of that. I love what Andrew Kreisberg said to me. After the reading, I thought I had gone a little hard in my characterization of Jay at the beginning, and he said, "No, I loved what you did because when you come out of the iron mask, it's clear from the get-go that the person we're dealing with is not Henry Allen, and that makes it even harder on Barry," and he said, "You are under no obligation to make the audience like you at the beginning," which I thought was a fascinating direction.

IGN: That's really interesting, and sounds a bit like what they had Tom Cavanagh do with Harrison Wells this season.

Shipp: It's also going to give us somewhere to go, because obviously the Golden Age Flash Barry Allen, we're going to forge a relationship. We're going to forge a mentor/mentee relationship. Jay is going to be someone who he goes to in his own way, but it's got to be completely different than the dynamic. We can't just rerun the dynamic of Henry/Barry which worked so well, and that's my challenge, which is to from the minute the iron mask comes off and the new suit goes on -- God help me [laughs] -- it may look like Henry Allen, but it's clear to everyone we're dealing with a completely different personality.

IGN: It sounds like you would like to get a Legends of Tomorrow call too with the Justice Society of America being explored. Would you want to appear on that show?

Shipp: The thing that's exciting for me about this is Henry Allen had a limited shelf-life; a very important shelf-life. I'm so happy I had those raw, emotional experiences, but it was coming to a close, and it was pretty linear what his role in the show was. Now suddenly, Jay Garrick is wide open. Like you suggest, if they're going to have a Justice Society, well that's got to include Jay Garrick, and also my role in The Flash. This is actor speculation, by the way; this isn't anything that I've been told. The only thing that I've been told is there is so much more that we can do with you -- meaning me, John Wesley -- than we could before. Andrew and Greg both said, "We can't wait to start writing it."

Estrella de ‘The Flash’ habla sobre esa impactante revelación de la finale
Por Laura Prudom 24 Mayo, 2016 | 06:00PM PT

This post contains spoilers for “The Flash” Season 2 finale, Episode 23, titled “The Race of His Life.”

The Season 2 finale of “The Flash” kept the twists coming, as the show finally unveiled the identity of the mysterious man in the iron mask — and Zoom’s silent prisoner was revealed to be none other than the real, Earth-3 version of Jay Garrick, portrayed by John Wesley Shipp — who also played Barry’s father, Henry Allen, up until his tragic death at the end of last week’s episode. Shipp also played the original live-action iteration “The Flash” in CBS’ ’90s version, bringing things full circle.

The tie between the Allen and Garrick families was teased earlier in the season in Episode 20, “Rupture,” when Henry told Barry that Garrick was the maiden name of Barry’s paternal grandmother. At the time, Barry clearly didn’t think anything of it, but in the wake of Henry’s death, seeing that familiar face (in the guise of one of the DC Universe’s most iconic heroes, no less) was a particularly powerful moment, shocking Barry to his core. The name Jay Garrick may have been tainted by Hunter Zolomon’s betrayal, but the real Jay certainly held himself like a hero.

The finale also allowed Barry to defeat Zoom without killing him, after utilizing the time wraiths that had been following Zolomon through the multiverse to do the dirty work for him. Following Zoom’s defeat, the Earth-2 version of Harrison Wells and his daughter, Jesse, also decided to return to their world, taking Jay with them. All seemed well on Earth-Prime, but in the episode’s final minutes, Barry confided in Iris that “I feel more broken than I’ve ever felt in my life,” admitting he wasn’t ready to begin a relationship with her yet.

“Wherever you need to go, whatever you need to do, do it. And when you get back, I’ll be here,” she promised, before declaring her love for him as the two shared a long-overdue kiss. But the biggest shock was yet to come — in the final moments of the episode, Barry ran back in time to the night it all began, stopping the Reverse Flash from killing his mom and leaving Nora Allen alive, thereby inevitably altering the timeline. Dun-dun-dun!

Variety spoke to John Wesley Shipp about working with star Grant Gustin, saying goodbye to Henry Allen and embodying Jay Garrick in the Season 2 finale.

When did you find out that you were the man in the iron mask?

The fun thing is, first of all, everyone was convinced I was Zoom – the magazine polls, the online polls, 60-70% of people thought I was Zoom, which is perfect, because when they first started speculating about the man in the iron mask, there was almost a little bit of timidity: “we were burned once, we’re not gonna make fools of ourselves again,” which sort of served our purposes greatly.

I don’t know when the decision was made … I went up in March to do what I knew would be a four-episode arc, and when I found out it would be a four-episode arc I figured, “okay, we’ll see the death of Henry in this arc, and that’s why they’re bringing me back.” Which made perfect sense to me, because Henry had fulfilled his purpose. I was almost getting to the point where these wonderful scenes — where Henry and Barry come together and it’s a tearful moment and an embrace — we had about played that scene out just about every way it could be played. After a certain point, it was going to get annoying, so I knew it was time for Henry to come to an end.

Then I began to pick up little bits and pieces. I was in a costume fitting for a shredded prison uniform, and then I heard a comment about an iron mask, and then I got in touch with Greg Berlanti, who I’ve known since “Dawson’s Creek.” So he laid out the whole improbable, wonderful, exciting tale, and I was speechless. I was like, “Take me out of the equation, Greg — that is brilliant television.” Not only because it’s good storytelling, but because it also takes into account the fans’ expectations going in. Everybody wanted me to be to be Jay Garrick – that’s what I’ve gotten at conventions all over the world: “we love you as Henry Allen, but we really wish you’d been Jay Garrick.” I was glad that I wasn’t, because to go right from the superhero costume 25 years ago to a superhero costume 25 years later would’ve been a little daunting for me — but I got to have two years of this very grounded, gritty, emotion-based, truth-of-the-moment acting role with Grant in the interim. So now maybe I can put on the suit again and have a little bit of fun. It also helps that Jay Garrick is chronologically 92 years old — however, he was exposed to age-reversing vapors, so he’s physically 50 years old. I thought, “I could do that. I could play that.” [Laughs.]

What did the producers tell you about the Earth-3 version of Jay and his role in the show?

I actually went back and did more research and tried to find out who this guy was and where he fit in the lore more than I did when I played Barry the first time … Finding out that he was the original Flash, that he was the founder of the Justice Society of America, that he’s really the Flash daddy of us all, and the importance of him to the whole DC Universe… that was very intriguing and very important to me. Also finding out that in the comics he’s the one who teaches Wally the speed force — there’s just so many possibilities and directions for this character to go.

Having said that, the most important thing for me in this final script was, when the iron mask comes off, although he looks like Henry Allen, it’s got to be clear to everyone, including Barry, that this is not Henry. So the most important thing for me was “how am I gonna differentiate the man that comes out of the iron mask from Henry Allen? In what ways is he different? In what ways is he the same?”

Of course, it’s going to be an incredible conflict for Barry because he just lost his father – that’s an incredible moment, and of course Jay doesn’t know from any of it. He’s like, “what? What’s everybody’s problem here?” It’s this contrast of building this character who looks exactly like Barry’s father but is tonally and attitudinally very different from Henry Allen, who was very available emotionally and much softer; very much a warm blanket for Barry when he was at his most vulnerable. That’s not gonna be Jay. Jay’s a superhero, he’s an original superhero, so he’s not gonna know from all that – my job, at the beginning, anyway, is to differentiate between Henry Allen and Jay Garrick.

Henry had been absent for a lot of this season, which meant a lot of missed time with Barry – did that make his death harder for you?

It was, no doubt, very emotional – both given the way Grant works and the way I work. It was interesting that it was split between two episodes. I really felt for Grant because in the penultimate episode, right at the end, it’s “noooooooo,” and Henry gets killed. Now in the season finale, we pick up at Henry’s death … which meant Grant had to build himself up to the moment his father was killed and then cut it off. And then wait until the next episode to build himself up again.

What do you think the repercussions of the finale will be, going into next season?

The palette is wide open. The thing they love to do at the end of the season is they introduce so many different elements that could go in so many different directions. For me, personally, as an actor, Henry Allen was rather closed-ended, he was there for a purpose, he served his purpose, it was time for him to die. The fact that I’m now getting to morph into an entirely different character that is so important to the Justice Society of America, which also bleeds into “Legends of Tomorrow,” he’s such an important character to this whole world – it just opens up enormous possibilities for me as an actor going forward, and the challenge for me, having played Henry, is that I now get to create an entirely different character going forward. And how that affects Barry – because Barry’s going to want to lean on this guy who looks just like his father but is not his father – that can create a whole bunch of psychological conflict too. I’m as excited as you are to see how all of this will play out.

What can you preview about Jay’s dynamic with Barry next season, given those emotional complications?

Jay does not know the emotional minefield that he’s walking into. Of course, Barry’s gonna look at this guy, and when the iron mask first comes off… it’s really heartbreaking, he shrinks himself. It’s really amazing. If I were to lose my father, and then there was someone there who looks just like my father, my impulse would be to want to go and get the same things from this guy that I got from my father. This guy’s not going to know any of that, he’s not going to understand it, so I hope there are those awkward moments where Barry tries to get from Jay what he got from Henry and it’s not gonna be forthcoming, and they’re going to have to make their own peace and form their own relationship based on the reality of what is. That opens itself up for all kinds of psychological possibilities.

Did you talk to Tom Cavanagh and compare notes on taking on a brand new version of an existing character, given that he’s had to play three different versions of Wells at this point?

I’ve watched him [but] we didn’t talk about it a lot… I’ve got to tell you, I had a lot of insecurities, a quarter of a century later, putting on another superhero suit, but the entire cast – Tom came and talked to me; at one point Grant brought the camera up and turned the monitor around so I could see the way the scene was lit in the suit, and they were all like “look at this!” Jesse [Martin] was saying, “I’m so glad that you’re doing this.” They really wrapped me in a lot of affirmation and made my insecurities about — a quarter of a century later — playing another superhero a lot easier for me.

- Tom Cavanagh será personaje regular en la S3:

Cuando "The Flash" regrese este otoño con su Season 3, también lo hará Tom Cavanagh y como personaje regular, según acaba de confirmar Entertainment Weekly, aunque no está claro en este momento a quién estará interpretando

Me estoy preguntando si esto significa que aún tendremos a Harrison Wells de alguna manera, ya que sería una lástima que Tom Cavanagh ya no esté más en The Flash. — Green Flower
Los detalles de la próxima temporada se están manteniendo fuertemente bajo llave, pero puedo decirte que Tom Cavanagh estará de vuelta como regular de la serie en la season 3. Considera esto: si la serie de veras sigue adelante con Flashpoint, entonces Reverse-Flash nunca mató al Harrison Wells de Tierra-1 y su esposa, lo que significa que podríamos ver al original Wells la próxima temporada. Quizá. Con suerte.

Durante las pasadas dos temporadas de la serie, Cavanagh ha interpretado a tres versiones distintas del personaje: en la primera temporada, fue 'Eobard Thawne', aka Reverse Flash, camuflándose bajo la forma del Harrison Wells de Tierra-1 al que también vimos en forma de flashbacks; y en la Season 2, interpretó a la versión de Tierra-2 de Harrison "Harry" Wells. Sin embargo, en la finale de la Season 2, él y su hija Jesse regresaron a su hogar de Tierra-2 con la ayuda del Jay Garrick de Tierra-3.

- "The Flash" está haciendo cástings para un importante personaje recurrente para la S3:

Un nuevo personaje llegará a "The Flash" este otoño.

El elenco de "The Flash" continúa creciendo ya que la CW está buscando un nuevo e importante personaje recurrente para la Season 3.

Según la descripción del personaje en TVLine, es "un contemporáneo de Barry ligeramente mayor, ligeramente más friki, un tipo que es tan inteligente como intuitivo. Así, este recién llegado no se traga la rutina de chico agradable de Barry y se propone descubrir lo que está escondiendo -- todo mientras esconde algunos secretos propios."

Al final de la Season 2, Barry cambió todo cuando volvió atrás en el tiempo y previno que Reverse Flash matara a su madre. Esto reproduce los eventos del "Flashpoint" de Geoff Johns y Andy Kubert, en donde Barry hizo lo mismo con desastrosos efectos; después de que Barry cambiara su propia historia personal en ese evento de los cómics, no sólo perdió sus poderes sino que encontró un sombrío mundo en donde Thomas Wayne se convirtió en Batman y Superman estuvo retenido por el gobierno durante toda su vida, entre otras cosas. Así, es posible que la serie pueda empezar en una línea temporal alternativa, aunque sigue sin estar claro si y cuánto se quedará ahí la serie.

- 'Jesse' (Violett Beane) regresará en la S3 de "The Flash":

Aunque la S2 terminó con “Harry” Wells y su hija 'Jesse' regresando a Tierra-2, se ha confirmado que la veremos de nuevo el próximo otoño, lo que ha generado miles de preguntas en torno a la naturaleza de personaje en la próxima temporada.

TVLine habló con Violett Beane durante los "Saturn Awards" que se han celebrado en L.A. esta semana, dando algunas pistas de lo que podemos esperar a ver, sobre todo tras haber visto cómo Barry modificaba atrás en el tiempo toda la línea temporal y habiéndose anunciado que la serie abordará la historia de 'Flashpoint'.

En la S2 vimos cómo Jesse y Wally eran alcanzados por la misma ola que le devolvió a Barry sus poderes, lo que avivó la especulación de que uno de ellos o ambos estaban en camino hacia sus destinados alter egos, "Jesse Quick" y "Kid Flash". Pero eso ya no es tan seguro, según afirma Beane:

“No sé si es con o sin poderes.”

“Cuando Jesse fue alcanzada, estaba como ‘¡Está pasando! ¡está pasando!'”. “Estuvo la chispa que sucedió cuando ella salió del coma, pero... no pasó, y yo estaba como, ‘¡No!’ Estoy mucy emocionada [por interpretar a un speedster], y me encantaría que pasara pronto en la próxima temporada”.

“Con todo el tema del Flashpoint, cualquier cosa puede pasar, ¿verdad? Está literalmente abierto a cualquier tipo de cosa distinta o falsa realidad. Podría ser la Jesse de Tierra-1, podría ser una speedster…. ¡Quién sabe!”, dice Beane.

Ballroom 20

· Riverdale: Las cosas no son siempre como las esperas en Riverdale. Basada en los icónicos personajes de Archie Comics y producida por Berlanti Productions (The Flash, Supergirl, Blindspot, Everwood), este drama de una hora es una versión atrevida y subversiva sobre la surrealidad de la vida de un pequeño pueblo. A medida que el nuevo año escolar empieza, el pueblo de Riverdale está aún impresionado por la reciente y trágica muerte del chico de oro del instituto Jason Blossom — y ya nada parece lo mismo. Archie Andrews (KJ Apa) es aún el adolescente prototipo americano, pero los eventos del verano le hicieron darse cuenta de que quiere perseguir una carrera en la música — y no seguir los pasos de su padre — a pesar del súbito final de su relación prohibida con la joven profesora de música de Riverdale, Ms. Grundy (Sarah Habel). Lo que significa que Archie ya no tiene a nadie que sea su mentor — ciertamente no la cantante Josie McCoy (Ashleigh Murray), quien tan sólo se centra en su banda, la que será próximamente famosa mundialmente Pussycats. Todo pesa fuertemente en la mente de Archie — así como su amistad fracturada con el escritor en ciernes y antiguo compañero de clase Jughead Jones (Cole Sprouse). Mientras tanto, la chica-de-al-lado Betty Cooper (Lili Reinhart) está nerviosa por ver a su amor platónico, Archie, tras haber estado fuera todo el verano, pero no está aún preparada para revelarle sus verdaderos sentimientos hacia él. Y los nervios de Betty — que apenas son calmados por su autoritaria madre, Alice (Mädchen Amick) — no son lo único que la están reteniendo. Cuando una nueva estudiante, Veronica Lodge (Camila Mendes), llega a la ciudad desde New York con su madre Hermione (Marisol Nichols), hay una innegable chispa entre ella y Archie, incluso aunque Veronica no quiere arriesgar su nueva amistad con Betty siendo un jueguete para Archie. Y luego está Cheryl Blossom (Madelaine Petsch) — La Abeja Reina de Riverdale está feliz por crear problemas entre Archie, Betty, y Veronica, pero Cheryl está ocultando secretos propio. ¿Qué es lo que, exactamente, está escondiendo sobre la misteriosa muerte de su hermano gemelo, Jason? Riverdale puede parecer un pueblo tranquilo y dormido, pero hay peligros en las sombras. Riverdale es de from Berlanti Productions en asociación con la Warner Bros. Television y CBS Television Studios, con los productores ejecutivos Greg Berlanti (Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, Blindspot), Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (Supergirl, Glee), Sarah Schechter (Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, Blindspot) y Jon Goldwater (Archie Comics). Riverdale se estrena en la midseason en la The CW

· Powerless: Es un mundo de Super Héroes. Nosotros tan sólo vivimos en él. Como la primera serie cómica asentada en el Universo DC, Powerless es la historia de Emily (Vanessa Hudgens – High School Musical), una joven perito de seguros especializada en la cobertura de gente normal comtra el daño causado cuando los Super Héroes y los Super Villanos tratan la ciudad como si fuera su personal campo de batalla. Haciéndose cargo de las necesidades del seguro una a una, Emily y su equipo de compañeros puede que no tengan ningún superpoder, pero están ahí para marcar la diferencia en la vida de la gente y probar que no necesitas tener superpoderes para ser poderoso. De la Warner Bros. Television y el productor ejecutivo Ben Queen (Cars 2) y basada en los personajes de DC, Powerless se estrena en la midseason en NBC.

6:30 p.m.–7:20 p.m. Riverdale Screening del Piloto y Q&A — Las cosas no son siempre como las esperas en Riverdale. Basada en los icónicos personajes de Archie Comics y producida por Berlanti Productions (The Flash, Supergirl, Blindspot, Everwood), este drama de una hora es una versión atrevida y subversiva sobre la surrealidad de la vida de un pequeño pueblo. A medida que el nuevo año escolar empieza, el pueblo de Riverdale está aún impresionado por la reciente y trágica muerte del chico de oro del instituto Jason Blossom — y ya nada parece lo mismo. Archie Andrews (KJ Apa) es aún el adolescente prototipo americano, pero los eventos del verano le hicieron darse cuenta de que quiere perseguir una carrera en la música — y no seguir los pasos de su padre — a pesar del súbito final de su relación prohibida con la joven profesora de música de Riverdale, Ms. Grundy (Sarah Habel). Lo que significa que Archie ya no tiene a nadie que sea su mentor — ciertamente no la cantante Josie McCoy (Ashleigh Murray), quien tan sólo se centra en su banda, la que será próximamente famosa mundialmente Pussycats. Todo pesa fuertemente en la mente de Archie — así como su amistad fracturada con el escritor en ciernes y antiguo compañero de clase Jughead Jones (Cole Sprouse). Mientras tanto, la chica-de-al-lado Betty Cooper (Lili Reinhart) está nerviosa por ver a su amor platónico, Archie, tras haber estado fuera todo el verano, pero no está aún preparada para revelarle sus verdaderos sentimientos hacia él. Y los nervios de Betty — que apenas son calmados por su autoritaria madre, Alice (Mädchen Amick) — no son lo único que la están reteniendo. Cuando una nueva estudiante, Veronica Lodge (Camila Mendes), llega a la ciudad desde New York con su madre Hermione (Marisol Nichols), hay una innegable chispa entre ella y Archie, incluso aunque Veronica no quiere arriesgar su nueva amistad con Betty siendo un jueguete para Archie. Y luego está Cheryl Blossom (Madelaine Petsch) — La Abeja Reina de Riverdale está feliz por crear problemas entre Archie, Betty, y Veronica, pero Cheryl está ocultando secretos propio. ¿Qué es lo que, exactamente, está escondiendo sobre la misteriosa muerte de su hermano gemelo, Jason? Riverdale puede parecer un pueblo tranquilo y dormido, pero hay peligros en las sombras. Riverdale hace su debut en el Comic-Con con un screening del episodio piloto al completo, seguido de una Q&A con las estrellas de la serie y productores ejecutivos. Riverdale es de Berlanti Productions en asociación con Warner Bros. Television y CBS Television Studios, con los productores ejecutivos Greg Berlanti (Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, Blindspot), Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (Supergirl, Glee), Sarah Schechter (Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, Blindspot) y Jon Goldwater (Archie Comics).
