PRISON BREAK's Wentworth Miller Joining THE FLASH As 'Leonard Snart'/'Captain Cold'

It was revealed at the Television Critics Association summer press tour in Beverly Hills today that Prison Break star Wentworth Miller is set to join the cast of The Flash as the leader of The Rogues (and recent Justice League member), Captain Cold. Check it out!

This is an impressive bit of casting, and something of a surprise as Wentworth Miller appeared to be moving away from acting after his script for Stoker was met with a great deal of praise. Regardless, he seems like a perfect fit for Captain Cold (especially as the character has been portrayed as a little younger since his debut in "The New 52"), and it should be very interesting to see how The Flash goes about introducing the villain and what his long-term role in the series will be. It was also revealed during the panel that they fought hard to include a Gorilla Grodd Easter egg in the pilot and that they do hope to one day be able to bring the villain into the series, despite not having a budget anywhere near something like Dawn of the Planet of the Apes! How do you guys feel about this news? Sound off with your thoughts below!

That is cool. I hope it will be the look of the old Captain Cold and not the New 52 one. Because if it's the old way Heat Wave will be too.

I liked him in Prison Break. He was alright in Resident Evil.

Great casting choice! I wonder how long it will take to do a 'Rogues' story Arc. Captain Cold, Weather Wizard, and Mirror Master working against Wally would be a great thing to see (if a bit expensive to produce).

Grodd doesn't need mo-cap, especially for a tv show. He doesn't need to actually speak, they just need either a good animatronic or maybe an actual gorilla. Sometimes he needs his helmet for telepathy, sometimes he has it without the helmet.

Imagine if all of these string of murders are being committed, hostile takeovers, blackmail, etc... and Grodd is just doing it all from wherever he's hiding. He has a puppet human act as the figurehead for him, a caged animal. We get a few red herrings making us think its so-and-so, but then Grodd steps out of the shadows.

Awesome casting. As for Grodd, maybe they can just keep him in the shadows or really dark

hopefully he'll be more faithful to the comic character than he was in that god-awful Flash movie script … written by Berlanti and Guggenheim

I like it, young Capt Cold, Miller can really get across as a methodical genius. as seen on prison break, I am Glad Flash will kicks AOS ass on tuesday (not ratings wise but Quality wise)

@BatManiac What do you have against him?

Glad to see miller back doing something. Prison Break was great until the third season, but that was all writing issues. He was wasted in Resident Evil. This show is catching my attention.

As for speculation over whether characters like the Green Arrow and The Flash will transition to the big screen, Johns tried to put that to rest, saying that the film and television universes for DC Comics "are separate worlds."

All the idiots can shut up now?
