MegaCon 2016: Carlos Valdes says ‘The Flash’ season 3 will be ‘way different’
During a panel this year’s MegaCon, The Flash star Carlos Valdes discussed the close of season two, the breakdown of the timeline and gives fans some thoughts on season three.
“All I’m going to tell you is things are going to be different, way different,” Valdes said of the third season. “Not in a bad way; I think in a really exciting way, and it’s that difference that’s going to inform Barry’s trajectory throughout the season, and I think people are going to like it.”
The Flash broke the timeline somehow when he saved his mother in the season two finale after he (Grant Gustin’s Barry) traveled back in time to stop the murder by the Reverse-Flash.
Fans are looking to see Flashpoint, based on a popular comic book story in which Barry Allen wakes up in a horrifying alternate timeline filled with dark, twisted versions of the heroes and villains he knows. The world is at the brink of annihilation as Aquaman and Wonder Woman stage a war that pits their nations against one another with everyday humans trapped in between. And in order to stop all of it, Barry has to discover what altered the past to create this terrible future, and then restore his powers so that he can travel back to change it.
The Flash returns to production in July with an eye toward an October premiere date.
