[SPOILER] Reveals Role In SUPERMAN & LOIS Finale - Will Reverse-Flash Return?

A CW actor has confirmed they're set to make an appearance in the Superman & Lois series finale, but who will they play and is it possible that Reverse-Flash could make an appearance?!

Love or hate the Arrowverse, there's no denying that Tom Cavanagh's performance as the Reverse-Flash was hard to find fault with. As the years passed, The Flash diluted the character by having the actor play multiple versions of "Harrison Wells." However, in the suit, Cavanagh proved himself a truly formidable villain. 

His story ended in the Scarlet Speedster's series, but we can look forward to at least one final appearance from the actor in the DC Universe.

Superman & Lois will conclude with its fourth and final season later this year, and unlike Legends of Tomorrow and Batwoman, the show's creative team have received enough notice to craft what we hope will be a satisfying ending. 

The question now is, will that ending include an appearance from Eobard Thawne?

Appearing at FAN EXPO Philadelphia this past weekend, Cavanagh reflected on his work as a director behind the camera in the Arrowverse and explained why he always preferred helming premieres and finales. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to take charge of Superman & Lois' last episode (that honour goes to Gregory Smith), but showrunner Todd Helbing did have another offer. 

"The finale for 'Superman & Lois' was taken up already, and so I said, 'Well, I’m happy to not do it,' which is when Todd was like 'Well, would you play a role?'" the actor recalled (via KryptonSite.com). "And so that’s coming up, for those of you that watch 'Superman & Lois' - something that I’m happy to have done."

While we'd bet on Cavanagh making a cameo appearance as a Dr. Harrison Wells doppelganger (remember, Superman & Lois takes place in its own, separate reality), it would be pretty wild for Reverse-Flash to show up and leave the door open to this world being revisited down the line. 

When The Flash ended, Cavanagh shared his hopes for a Reverse-Flash spin-off. "I pitched Greg [Berlanti]...this idea that was like, 'Look at him as one of those Dragons of Yore that are impenetrable but for one weakness that is a scale and that is the vulnerability. What if Reverse-Flash fell for some paramore on Earth and that created the obstacle for him getting back, because much against his will, he’d fallen in love.'"

"That’s a human story. You can’t really tell that complicated of a Reverse-Flash story on a television show called The Flash, because you have to serve The Flash," he continued. "As a cast member, I’ve always been more than willing and ready to do that, but now that The Flash is done, there’s always room to explore that story. So, you never know."

Superman & Lois season 4 is expected to return to The CW this Fall.

He will most likely be a different character,i could be wrong,remember what he said in the earth x crossover.

I could see it being a Wells Doppelgänger from that Earth whose help they need but we’ll see…

It would be nice to see him again since he’s more or less always been an enjoyable presence on screen.

I still can't believe James Gunn canceled this show, so much potential wasted, but i guess The Peacemaker is getting renewed for season 3 and 4, only because Gunn is producing and directing it

@PaKent - we sure he canceled it?

He said he wanted it to go on for 1 or 2 more seasons

Its on CW and not only did they cancel all their dc shows, they cancelled all their scripted shows

@dracula - He's talking about the report from The Wrap back in February of how Nexstar said WB pulled the plug on the show which is not possible because Gunn is now in charge of all DC content. (Or so he claims) The only logical conclusion is that he did.

Cool he'll have a role of sorts. But being set in the finale when they have to wrap up things with their characters could be too busy. I'll keep to myself some theories of how it could work until that day arrives.

Hope to see some cool BTS from Cavanagh by then, he always takes them when he shows up in DC shows.

I won't lie. I would love if the series finale for Superman and Lois was restoring him to the CW-verse and doing one last cross-over to finish off the universe. Make it separate from the main plot, but I want to see Tyler Hoechlin leading a league of his own.

That said the ending is likely Jordan finally donning a Superman suit of his own, and Clark possibly either dying or retiring.
