Is The Flash Casting Jay Garrick For Season 2?

The Flash is casting an older hero for Season 2.

More Flash Season 2 casting scoop from TV Line today:

The site’s Matt Mitovich reports that the show is casting “the season-long role of a classically handsome, square-jawed hero in his 30s to early 40s, a slightly cynical man with an edge.”

Perhaps, this guy?

(For the uninitiated, that’s Jay Garrick, the original Flash from the comics. His helmet was seen briefly in the season finale.)

Since John Wesley Shipp is already playing a role on the new show, any casting suggestions? Leave ’em in the comments. (This actually is a role I could see Tom Welling in, but he seems reluctant to re-enter the superhero world.)

Thanks to Andy for the tip. We will point out that there have been hints this character might instead be Carter Hall, Hawkman… maybe setting up/tying into the appearances on Ciara Renee on DC’s Legends of Tomorrow? After all, Mitovich did say on Twitter “Think Harrison Ford,” and Indiana Jones was an archaeologist…

But our money’s still on Garrick. Or, at least, we’re hoping it is him.

    This show needs a dosis of Blue & Gold! perhaps they are casting for Ted Kord and/ or Michael Jon Carter?

    Come on! you already have Rip Hunter (although a british one…)

    I’m from Argentina, sorry for my spelling!

    John Wesley Shipp could, and should have the role. This Flash will be from an alternate time line/universe. Imagine the melodrama that will ensue as Berry gets mentorship from a version of his father that is also a speedster. Think of how that will catapolt his abilities as well as create personal conflict as he attempts to balance the time spent learning new abilities from a version of his father with his continued goal of freeing his father in Iron Heights. Even more explosive would be if Berry’s father dies in Iron Heights right before Jay is revealed as another version of Berry’s father, played by the same actor, who fills the void and helps him become a better Flash. But, I diegress, John Wesley Shipp for Jay Garrick!

    Justin Hartley would be amusing as either Carter Hall or Jay Garrick.

Flash References In New Grant Gustin Commercial

The Flash actor Grant Gustin has appeared in a new commercial for MNTN with former Green Lantern Ryan Reynolds.

Published

on

The Flash Grant Gustin is in a new trailer for MNTN alongside Ryan Reynolds, who, of course, played another DC hero, Green Lantern, back in the day. In the trailer, Grant plays a character named “Seymour Roas” but despite this, Reynolds can’t resist making a few Flash puns at Grant’s expense.

The commercial is quite fun and ends with the thoughts many of us have had, with Reynolds saying to Grant “you’ll always be my Barry,” only to have Grant respond with “you’ll always be my Hal.” If only we had gotten to see this team-up in an actual film; maybe it would have redeemed the awful Green Lantern movie and given us a Flash we all love rather than the person who headlined this year’s flop.

You can see the trailer below.

No, That Was Not Teddy Sears In The Flash Movie

Flash TV series actor Teddy Sears confirms that was not him playing Jay Garrick in The Flash movie.

Published

SPOILER WARNING: The Warner Bros. Pictures film The Flash is being discussed in this post.

The Flash is currently speeding onto movie screens, and considering the box office, it might be speeding out of theaters just as fast, but there is one particular thing that fans of The Flash TV series have been wondering: Did we see a cameo of Teddy Sears as Jay Garrick in The Flash movie?

The answer is: No. TVLine did their due diligence in finding out from Sears himself what is going on.

“People kept telling me that I was in the new Flash movie…,” Sears told TVLine in an article posted on their website. “I mean, I’m sleep-deprived with a newborn at home, so my memory is a little foggy. But I’m pretty sure I would have remembered shooting a major DC Studios film.”

“Sadly, I’m not in this,” he continued. He did acknowledge that the likeness does look like him.

There are some other cameos – sadly, not Grant Gustin or John Wesley Shipp, either. The movie is currently playing in theaters worldwide. As for Teddy Sears? Look for him in the DC Animated feature Justice League: Warworld where he will voice Travis Morgan, a.k.a. The Warlord. That comes out in July.
