Deadline reveals that Candice Patton (The Game) has joined the cast of The CW's The Flash pilot. The series is set to debut this fall, and will feature a fully suited up Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) solving crimes in Central City as he attempts to uncover the truth behind the death of his mother. According to the site, Patton "will play Iris West, Allen’s fast-talking, quick-witted best friend who is also the daughter of Detective West (Martin), who serves as a surrogate father to Barry." Patton joins the recently cast Rick Cosnett (Detective Eddie Thawne) and Danielle Panabaker (Caitlin Snow). How do you guys feel about this news? Sound off below!



UPDATE: Variety is reporting that Broadway’s Carlos Valdes is set to play, "mechanical engineering genius Cisco Ramon (DC Comics fans might know him better as Vibe)." That's all we know for now, while it's unclear whether or not there are any other major roles left to be cast. Barry Allen's father and his bosses at Central City PD certainly seem likely...

Her face is EXACTLY how I see Iris. That she is black, honestly, makes this woman additionally striking. I hope she does justice to the character. I think this Barry wouldn't see race. He is beyond such ideas, preoccupied instead in his own head. Question being, now, after Arrow altered the romantic line, will Flash do the same?

Nice choice. What's nice is that she isn't actually black. She ethnically ambiguous. She could any kid of mixed person

I don't have a problem with her being black, my problem is with the fact that they ONLY auditioned black women.


@mrmartinmarvel

The only problem I see surfacing is if they introduce Wally West being black and running fast, CW may catch a little hell for the stereotype
