THE FLASH: Hartley Sawyer's Elongated Man Returning For Season 5 As A Series Regular
Well, it sounds like we're going to get a lot more of Ralph Dibny this fall as The CW has now confirmed that Hartley Sawyer has been promoted to a series regular for The Flash season five.
Hot on the heels of Danielle Nicolet's promotion yesterday, The CW has announced that Hartley Sawyer, who plays Ralph Dibny a.k.a. The Elongated Man, will also be a series regular for The Flash season five.
Sawyer was introduced in the fourth episode of season four and became a quick fan-favorite, going on to play a key role in thirteen appearances throughout the course of the season. Details on his arc for next year remain under wraps, but it's likely he'll continue to fill some of the void left by Killer Frost (Danielle Panabaker) being temporarily sidelined, Harry (Tom Cavanagh) heading back on Earth-2, and Kid Flash (Keiynan Lonsdale) heading off on his own adventure.
As for the rest of the DC TV shows, Katie Cassidy (Black Siren) has been confirmed to return as a series regular for Arrow season seven while Matt Ryan (John Constantine) and Jes Macallan (Ava Sharpe) have both been upped to series regulars for Legends of Tomorrow season four.
So, what do you guys think? Sound off with your thoughts below!
Last season, Barry Allen aka The Flash used his extraordinary abilities to travel back in time and save his mother’s life, and inadvertently created an alternate timeline known as Flashpoint. The phenomenon not only gave birth to the villainous God of Speed known as Savitar, but changed the lives of Caitlin Snow and Wally West forever. With the help of his adoptive father, Detective Joe West, his fiancée Iris West, and his friends at S.T.A.R. Labs – Cisco Ramon and Harrison Wells -- Barry continues to protect the people of Central City from the meta-humans that threaten it. But first, he’ll have to escape the Speed Force – an extra-dimensional entity teeming with unknown dangers – that Barry sacrificed himself to in order to save Central City.
