The Flash Finale: Tom Cavanagh's Eobard Thawne/Reverse-Flash Returns

The Flash Showrunner Eric Wallace confirmed that Tom Cavanagh's Eobard Thawne/Reverse-Flash is returning in the Arrowverse series' finale.

Did you really think that The CW's Grant Gustin, Candice Patton & Danielle Panabaker-starring The Flash would wrap up its run without Tom Cavanagh's Eobard Thawne, aka the Reverse-Flash? There were rumblings about it earlier this year (with Cavanagh himself offering a heads-up), but now showrunner Eric Wallace is confirming the series finale return (S09E13 "A New World, Part Four,") to EW – the Season 1 version – along with some additional comments. "This is Barry Allen's final race, so you can't tell that story without including his most infamous adversary: The Reverse-Flash," Wallace shared ahead of the start of the WGA/AMPTP strike. "And having brilliantly played the character since season 1, bringing Tom back as our show concludes its run was always part of the plan. Tom's exciting portrayal of Eobard Thawne has been unforgettable for nine years, and fans will be delighted to know that he's brought that same wonderful intensity to our finale, too."
