Robbie Amell set for ‘The Flash’ season 2 return as Earth-2 Ronnie, Deathstorm
Robbie Amell will reprise his role as Ronnie Raymond in an upcoming episode of the second season of The Flash. This time, though he won’t quite be the same superhero (Firestorm) viewers remember and will play the Earth-2 version of his character, according to EW reports.
Ronnie Raymond was formerly the other half of the Firestorm alongside Martin Stein (Victor Garber), but he sacrificed himself in the season 2 premiere to save Central City from being destroyed by the singularity, their article recounts, noting that “when Amell returns, he’ll actually be portraying the Earth-Two version of Ronnie, who went down a very different path.”
“We are beyond excited to have Robbie back onThe Flash,” executive producer Andrew Kreisberg tells EW. “You can’t keep a good Firestorm down. Only this time, he’s back with a twist, a deadly Earth-Two version of our beloved Ronnie in the form of Deathstorm.”
Ronnie was resurrected as the villain Deathstorm, a member of the Black Lantern Corps, during the Blackest Night event.
Earth-Two’s version of Ronnie’s former wife, Caitlin Snow (Danielle Panabaker), is actually Killer Frost. On Earth-Two, Ronnie and Caitlin are still a couple and are definitely a force to be reckoned with as Killer Frost and Deathstorm.
