THE FLASH: Tom Cavanagh on the return of the Reverse Flash

When we last saw The Flash,  Eddie (Rick Cosnett) was dead of a heroic self-inflicted gunshot, Thawne/Wells had ceased to exist, and a giant space-time vortex (aka The Singularity) was sucking up huge parts of Central City while Barry (Grant Gustin) ran into seemingly certain death trying to stop it. It’s an understatement to say that we were left with many questions to ponder.

Unfortunately, while I very much enjoyed getting to chat with most of the cast in the press room at San Diego Comic Con, they were under a tight gag order, so I can’t say that I got many of those questions answered, but we did get some more insight into season 1 and some vague teasers for season 2.

We talked to Tom Cavanagh (Wells/Thawne/Reverse Flash) about his character’s multiple facets, Eddie’s death, and playing a villain (or is he?).

New episodes of The Flash start on Tuesday, October 6th, at 8/7c on The CW.
