The CW’s The Flash races back to TV screens in a couple months, and the show’s cast just seems to keep expanding in anticipation of its return. We already know season two will feature Teddy Sears and Keiynan Lonsdale as fellow Flashes Jay Garrick and Wally West, and that we’ll also be getting a bunch of new villains, and now we have news on two more additions: one a major member of the Flash Family, and the other yet another villain.
Newcomer Violett Beane will be playing Jesse Quick, one of the more important female characters in the Flash universe. In the comics, she’s the daughter of Golden Age superheroes Johnny Quick and Liberty Belle and has both super speed and flying abilities. CW describes the TV version of Jesse Quick as, “a brilliant but quirky college student who gets caught up in the battle between The Flash and Zoom.”
Demore Barnes will play Tokamak, an evil scientist-type villain who usually fights Firestorm. The CW describes the character as, “a charming, but cocky scientist who was affected by the same Particle Accelerator explosion that created the Flash. When Caitlin Snow (Danielle Panabaker) recruits him to join the team at S.T.A.R. Labs, Hewitt jumps at the opportunity to fulfill his destiny as a powerful meta-human.”
The Flash returns to the CW on Oct. 6.
