Earlier today we brought you news on several new guest appearances set for the final season of The Flash. Now comes news that a very special face from the so-called Arrowverse has been confirmed to return.
Yes. Stephen Amell, the man who started it all back 2012, will be making an appearance alongside Grant Gustin for the Scarlet Speedster’s victory lap on The CW. Like those other previously announced guests, Amell will be appearing in the ninth episode of the final season.
“As soon as our final season was announced, we knew we wanted Stephen to come back and reprise his iconic role as Oliver Queen,” said executive producer Eric Wallace. “After all, it was Oliver who originally launched Barry Allen (played by Grant Gustin) on his heroic path. That’s why everyone on Team Flash felt so strongly that it was important to create a full-circle moment with Oliver’s return in the final season of The Flash. The result is an epic-yet-emotional episode we hope Arrowverse fans will enjoy. It’s all to say “thank you” to everyone for watching and supporting our show throughout nine wonderful years. We absolutely cannot wait for everyone to see Grant and Stephen saving the world together again. And yes, there will be thrills, chills and tears.”
The Flash stars Grant Gustin as Barry Allen/The Flash, Candice Patton as Iris West-Allen, Danielle Panabaker as Caitlin Snow, Brandon McKnight as Chester P. Runk and Danielle Nicolet as Cecile Horton. The series returns on February 8, 2023.
