After 9 seasons, The Flash got here to an finish on The CW final week and with the conclusion of the long-running sequence, so ended one chapter of live-action superhero tv because the community’s Arrowverse additionally concluded. The Flash was the final remaining sequence of the community’s interconnected universe of DC reveals and whereas its conclusion has prompted many to mirror on what The Flash‘s legacy shall be, sequence star Tom Cavanagh has a becoming thought in regards to the matter. For Cavanagh, the present’s legacy is just that it lasted for 9 seasons and that followers wished to ask the present into their properties and time for 9 years.
It’s such a great query, and it’s a must to suppose just a little bit about why you’ll be able to even ask that query that I believe has form of been requested and answered. Which when you consider it, it is as much as others to determine whether or not we did it effectively. But for those who’ve executed it for 9 years, definitely folks have loved it. You know what I imply?” Cavanagh told ComicBook.com‘s Nicole Drum. “I’ve been part of so many reveals the place they are not going to say, what is the legacy? You know what I imply? But I believe the thought of a present that has obtained sufficient help from an viewers that permits it to truly be filmed for 9, for nearly a decade, that is only a true privilege to be part of. It’s a rarity. I believe I’ve had job safety two or 3 times within the entirety of my skilled profession up to now, and it is simply… I believe one factor I’ll say about this viewers that I appear to run into after I discuss to them is it is not informal.”
He continued, “I’ve been part of reveals like, oh yeah, I’ve seen that. I finished watching and this and that. And this present appears to have folks which are actually invested. And when you consider that, Todd Helbing, the showrunner of The Flash, stated this to me very early on, he principally stated ‘They’re going to provide us an hour of their life each week. I really feel such a accountability to not allow them to down.’ Imagine that. They’re going to ask you into your own home, they’re inviting you into your own home for a full hour weekly. And so, you owe a lot to the folks that may do this. And his concept was like, we wish the story to be pretty much as good as it could actually and we can’t all the time succeed, however we wish the folks that watch this present to know that we do not take any of this with no consideration. That we contemplate it a privilege and a accountability, and we’re on the market making an attempt to do our greatest each outing.”
Tom Cavanagh always knew he’d be back for the series finale.
While it may have been a surprise to fans when it was announced that Cavanagh would return for The Flash series finale as Eobard Thawne/Reverse-Flash, Cavanagh said that he’s always known that, in the end, he’d be back.
“Well, it is humorous, it form of felt like season one. You hope for a nine-episode run. And so, we got here in, Greg Berlanti’s concept, and I’m him quoting saying to me, ‘I just like the present a lot, I simply wish to have season one in all Flash DVD on my desk,'” Cavanagh said. “I believe the success of Arrow gave us some respiratory room getting in, however you do not know. But once we began filming the present and telling the story of season one, you do not know that the viewers goes to come back, you do not know that you’ll be canceled. And in order that story that we advised for season one was very T-A-U-T, taut storytelling, I believed. Very good writing. It was Flash versus Reverse-Flash, the viewers is aware of who the villain is, however the present characters do not, after which it turns into unveiled after which we kill then we kill Cisco. And then Iris falls for Barry, and Barry falls for Iris, after which Flash versus Reverse-Flash and Flash prevails as a result of it is referred to as The Flash. And now we’re invited again for season two. And so, then you definately’re like, effectively, you’ll be able to’t do this once more. You cannot do Flash versus Reverse-Flash, so what’s going to you do? But in these discussions, it turned apparent that effectively Flash should finish with Reverse-Flash in some trend.”
He continued, “And so I all the time knew that I’d be suiting up. And in a wierd means, after I determined to go away the present when Carlos Valdes and I left the present in season six, I additionally knew that Batman wants the Joker. And so, in a wierd means, regardless that I made a decision to go away, I knew that I’d be introduced again as a result of Reverse-Flash simply desires to explode Central City and kill Barry once in a while. So that is what occurred right here in Season 9, and so I understood that that will additionally occur within the sequence finale, in fact.”
