Is The Flash looking to cast a hero or a villain in its newest casting description? Fan speculations is already running rampant that it's for Jay Garrick but decide for yourself after the jump.
The Flash Is Casting A Mystery Role That Has Many Fans Thinking Jay Garrick
Fresh off their scoop that The Flash is looking to cast their own Felicity Smoak-type character for season 2, TV Line is now reporting on MORE additions to the show. Fans are already speculating that the description could be for Jay Garrick, who was previously teased in the epic season one finale. Read for yourself and let us know what you think in the comments below.
In addition to Wendy – is casting the season-long role of a classically handsome, square-jawed hero in his 30s to early 40s, a slightly cynical man “with an edge.” The casting call lists the character as “John Clark,” which is obviously fake/a nod to the DC Comics letterer. Though I must wonder if one of Clark’s works hints at the character being introduced….
If David Rappaport is indeed looking to fill the role of Jay Garrick in this description, they're making the character a touch younger than how he appears in the comics. In DC lore, Garrick is typically depicted as a man in his 50s, who has undergone various, unintentional aging treatments to appear younger than his actual age of ~90. Of course, in the New 52 reboot of the enitre DC Comics line, Jay Garrick was reimagined as a recent college graduate, just embarking on his superhero career. Perhaps The Flash is combining various aspects of both of these versions? That is, if this casting description is indeed for Garrick.
