With a lot of buzz going around for those that have seen the pilot, there’s a lot of anticipation for the premiere of The Flash on The CW this fall. The marketing and promotion side has a lot to work with while placing an element of danger to things but also sticking to some of the upbeat aspects of the character as played by Grant Gustin. The second featurette has landed now which lets Tom Cavanagh talk a bit about how the STAR Labs side is viewing him at first, and how that’ll change over time as well.
With the pilot directed by David Nutter, the series stars Grant Gustin, Jesse L. Martin, Rick Cosnett, Danielle Panabaker, Candice Patton, Carlos Valdes and Tom Cavanagh. John Wesley-Shipp of the previous Flash TV series will guest in the pilot.
Plot concept: After a particle accelerator causes a freak storm, CSI Investigator Barry Allen is struck by lightning and falls into a coma. Months later he awakens with the power of super speed, granting him the ability to move through Central City like an unseen guardian angel. Though initially excited by his newfound powers, Barry is shocked to discover he is not the only “meta-human” who was created in the wake of the accelerator explosion — and not everyone is using their new powers for good. Barry partners with S.T.A.R. Labs and dedicates his life to protect the innocent. For now, only a few close friends and associates know that Barry is literally the fastest man alive, but it won’t be long before the world learns what Barry Allen has become…The Flash.
