Hey youtubers is Charlie! And if you didn't see the awesome news, John Wesley
Shipp, the original Flash just got cast on the new show
and Stephen Amell just said the whole bunch of those characters are
coming on Arrow.
Someone is also getting a shiny new superhero suit before the Arrow finale
this year too.
Everybody high five each other! All right so let's do a quick breakdown of all that news
starting with the Arrow stuff.
So Stephen Amell said that Central City characters are coming the Arrow
this season.
That's characters plural, meaning Grant Gustin and at least one other person will
be coming.
He also said that the characters would bounce back and forth next season at
least in cameos.
They'll probably do a special episode like the midseason finale when Grant Gustin
debuted as Barry Allen.
You know, like mini-team ups. Mini Justice League episodes
if you will. No idea who that other Flash character will be.
You know, the one is coming to Arrow before the end of the season. But its most
likely going to be one of the other people they cast recently.
My bet is on Iris West, just because we had a really nice Triangle 'Ship between
Felicity, Barry and Iris.
I can already see the Tumblr gifs in my mind. This is going to be ridiculous :)
In related Arrow news there will also be one more costume hero on the show before
the end of the season.
All signs are pointing to Roy getting his "Real Deal" red outfit.
I would bet on it looking like a version of Oliver's suit.
Previously I predicted he'd get the suit after they defeated Slade, but Stephen Amell
based on what he said, is making it sound like that will happen sooner.
So onto Flash news! John Wesley Shipp has been cast in a
secret role, so let's try and guess who that is. Right now my money is
either on
him being Grant Gustin's father, Barry Allen's father or *fingers crossed*
Jay Garrick. It sounds like it's going to be a really substantial role whatever it is,
so I'm thinking he's going to be like a Moira Queen type person
on the show.
Like a supporting character who's just really important. The main cast will
still be Grant Gustin and
Iris West, her father Detective West and Edward THawne.
If he is playing Barry Allen's father, That means he is going to spend most
of Season 1 in prison.
And I think that his role is going to be one that allows him to be on screen.
So I don't think that is as likely.
The real question is, Why would they keep his character a secret if it wasn't
something huge?
That's really where my Jay Garrick speculation comes from. Speaking of
Meta-Moments,
Shipp also starred as Professor Zoom on Brave and the Bold.
So he has played other versions of the Flash since that 1990s series.
No matter who he turns out to be though, I'm getting super pumped. Geoff Johns
was not kidding when he said they're going all out for the series.
The important thing to remember about all this is that they have not started
filming the pilot yet.
And it has to be given a series order before actually turns into a TV Show.
Worst-case scenario everything falls through, you can still breathe easy.
Because Grant Gustin
and all these other characters they cast will still be a part of Arrow.
So we will get the Flash no matter what. They will keep those characters inside the CW
Universe.
So we will see them again no matter what. My 2 big questions for you guys
are #1 - Who do you think John Wesley Shipp is playing? You know is it Jay Garrick,
or is it some other character? And #2 - Do you think that Roy will get that costume
before the end of the season?
Since the pilot starts filming in March, they're going to continue to make casting
announcements and hopefully we'll find out stuff from the set, so be sure to

I'll be doing a lot more regular bonus Flash videos as we move forward.
