68663Latino Review’s “El Mayimbe” has broken several scoops the movie studios didn’t want people to know yet, and unlike recent rumors like, say, “Bryan Cranston as Lex Luthor,” which come from sites with no credible sources, sometimes his predictions pan out.

Tonight, El Mayimbe postedalthough we warn that this has not been confirmed by the studio or the network, so treat this as rumor and not fact at this point — even though we do point out that he is frequently right — that the studio will is down to three final choices for the Barry Allen/Flash role, which will first appear on the eighth episode of Arrow Season 2, which begins filming September 30. One of those three choices is, at the time of this writing, not yet known. (UPDATE: Now he is.)

But who else has Latino Review tipped for Barry Allen?

One, which has even come up on Twitter weeks ago, is Matt Barr, whose “Dan Patch” was by and large one of the best parts of The CW’s Hellcats. If he doesn’t get this part, someone at Marvel had better get this guy for Cannonball, but that’s a different comic book universe. Barr could definitely pull off the role of Barry Allen.

The other is James Mackay. We admit: We’re not familiar with the Australian-born actor, whose credits include Singularity and The Straits. He’s certainly good looking, though we do wonder what he’d look like with blond hair.

Hopefully, this means we will know for sure who will be playing Dr. Barry Allen sometime this week. Who do you want to see? Leave some comments below. Us? We’d be happy with either of these choices, and Door #3 might be good as well.

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.
