Glee actor Grant Gustin was recently announced by CW as the latest actor to portray a life-version of DC’s Barry Allen aka The Flash when the speedster joins the second second of the surprise hit series- Arrow.

The actor, who is expected to be on the show for only 3 episodes (8th, 9th 7 20th episodes), in an interview with E! discussed joining the series, playing The Flash and his expectations.

According to Gustin, we get to meet Barry Allen as an ordinary guy before he becomes The Flash “I know I’m coming on as up-and-coming in my field. He’s not going to be The Flash immediately, obviously. We’re going to be Barry Allen first in two episodes and then he’ll come back later as The Flash. I haven’t actually had a chance to read any scripts yet, so we’ll see.”

About plans for Flash on the show, the actor reveals that he hopes Flash gets the costume we are all used to seeing him in and that he gets to do a little time travel which wouldn’t be a bad idea seeing as Arrow season 1 liked that whole LOST-type flashback thing.
“didn’t realize before I started doing all my research that he can actually time travel, he can run so fast. I think that’d be a really fun thing to play with on the show is him kind of going to different times and experimenting with that. That’d be fun…. I would [imagine], when The Flash comes he’ll be in a pretty traditional Flash costume. That’s kind of what I’ve caught wind of.”

A while back we heard of a Flash series was in the pipeline and this could be just what they need to decide if it’s actually worth producing it. Either way, season 2 of Arrow has got some interesting characters already and i look forward to see what Grant Gustin can bring to the table playing The Flash
