It's A PRISON BREAK Reunion As Dominic Purcell Joins THE FLASH As 'Heat Wave'
The Rogues will start getting together pretty early on in the first season of The Flash by the sound of it as Dominic Purcell (who has been cast as Heat Wave) and Wentworth Miller (Captain Cold) will reunite on screen for the first time since Prison Break. Read on for details!
The Hollywood Reporter reveals that Dominic Purcell (Blade: Trinity) has joined the cast of The Flash as the villainous Heat Wave. He'll first appear in the tenth episode, and his appearance will be alongside Wentworth Miller, the Resident Evil star who has been cast as Captain Cold. This marks the first time the duo have appeared together since playing brothers Lincoln Burrows and Michael Scofield in Prison Break. Captain Cold will make his debut in episode four, and Heat Wave will apparently also be heard from there. The site describes the character as, "a pyromaniac who finds an outlet for his obsession with fire when he teams up with Leonard Snart/Captain Cold and becomes the villain known as Heat Wave." This cast just keeps getting better and better, don't you think? Be sure to share your thoughts on this news in the usual place!
