Tom Cavanagh Is Playing SPOILER In THE FLASH Season 2
Tom Cavanagh's role in the second season of the CW's The Flash is no longer a mystery, as producer Gabrielle Stanton has spilled the beans on the character Tom is playing. Is it Harrison Wells ? The Reverse-Flash ? or someone else? Click to find out...
Fans were suprised to learn that Tom Cavanagh would in fact return to The Flash in Season 2, when it was announced earlier this year. With Eobard Thawne being erased from existence in the finale and Harrison Wells being dead for years on the show, fans have been wondering who Cavanagh is playing. Now a quote from executive producer Gabrielle Stanton reveals just that, and also where he's from.
"Harrison Wells will be back, but he's going to be a very different Harrison Wells than we've seen before, We've got other worlds. We've got other timelines. All I'm going to say is he's from one of those places.”
So we now know that Cavanagh will be playing Harrison Wells, Not Eobard Thawne, in Season 2. Judging from Gabrielle's comments this Wells will be from another timeline or another world, Earth 2 perhaps ?
This also fits with the leaked poster from Comic-Con shown below, which shows Wells standing with the rest of "Team Flash".
There is just one problem with this however. In interviews at Comic-Con, Cavanagh heavily hinted that he would still be playing Eobard Thawne/The Reverse-Flash in Season 2. Stating "I'm your guy, what is The Flash without The Reverse-Flash". Now that we know he's playing Wells, this makes no sense. Was Tom just trying to throw fans off ? My personal theory is that this is the Wells (really Eobard) from the "Out Of Time" timeline, where Wells kills Cisco to protect his identity.
The Flash returns on October 6th in the Season Opener titled "The Man Who Saved Central City"
