9. The Flash TV Show Casts Iris West and Vibe
Fans of Barry Allen should be thrilled to know that the CW's Flash TV series is picking up speed. The character's introduction on Arrow late last year was met with such great reviews that a pilot was quickly greenlit, and casting announcements have been trickling in ever since. Grant Gustin will of course be returning as the titular Scarlet Speedster, and will be joined by Law & Order's Jesse L. Martin as Detective West. We then got word that Rick Cosnett and Danielle Panabaker would be joining the show as Reverse Flash and Killer Frost, respectively.
Now, we have two more characters to add to the roster: Iris West (detective West's daughter and Barry's love interest) and the superhero known as Vibe. Iris will be played by Candice Patton (The Game, Entourage) and Vibe by Broadway's Carlos Valdes. It's interesting to see a character like Vibe join the show, and we're curious what they'll do with him. Now that the cast is taking shape, expect the pilot to begin production soon!
