Tom Cavanagh Set To Return To THE FLASH As A Series Regular, But Who Will He Be Playing?
Following the shocking events of the season two finale of The Flash, many fans have been wondering how and if Harrison Wells is going to return. Well, Tom Cavanagh is definitely back, but who is he playing?
Season two of The Flash concluded with the Earth-2 Harrison Wells returning home with his daughter, and it seemed as if that was the end of his story arc. It was of course back in The CW series' first season that we learned the original Earth-1 Wells was murdered and replaced by Eobard Thawne, and with Entertainment Weekly confirming that Tom Cavanagh is going to be a series regular in season three, that leaves us to wonder which character he'll be playing! Why? Well, there IS a new timeline now!
After all, Barry's decision to travel back in time to save his mother from the Reverse-Flash has changed everything, and we could very well be looking at an adaptation of Flashpoint when the show returns this Fall. Now that he's stopped Thawne, chances are that the villain won't get the chance to pose as Wells, so that leaves us with the original Earth-1 version and the Earth-2 Harry who may have been left unaffected by the Scarlet Speedster's decision to change the timeline. What do you guys think?
