Ahead of their DC FanDome panel this afternoon, The CW has released the first official trailer for The Flash season seven, offering a first look at what's to come when the series returns from its extended hiatus in early 2021.
Due to the global production shut down caused by the still ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the series was unable to complete work on the season six finale, but since they had finished the episodes leading up to that, there's actually a lot of fresh footage to enjoy as Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) and company formulate a plan to stop the increasingly powerful Mirror Master 2.0 (Efrat Dor).
Unsurprisingly, there aren't any shots of Hartley Sawyer, who played Ralph Dibny, a.k.a. the Elongated Man prior to his firing earlier this summer, but it remains to be seen whether his character will still appear in some capacity in these new episodes or if he's been retroactively scrubbed. The future of the character also remains up in the air, although a recasting doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility.
TBD 2021.
Matching wits with The Thinker, who by season’s end had harnessed the powers of all twelve bus metas he created, stretched Team Flash to their limits, but with the help of some new allies, Barry Allen (aka The Flash) and company were able to put a stop to the Enlightenment and save Central City once again. However, with the arrival of Barry and Iris’ speedster daughter, Nora, who arrived from the future admitting to having made a “big mistake,” things are anything but status quo. Will parenthood be the challenge that finally slows The Flash down?
