Halloween celebrations are in full swing and that means even those used to dressing as superheroes for a living get try on other costumes and have a little bit of fun as some of their favorite characters, including The Flash actress Violett Beane.

The Jesse Quick actress took to Instagram this weekend to share a photo of herself and a friend ready for Halloween in their Princess Mononoke-inspired costumes. Beane captioned the photo with a quote from Princess Mononoke creator Hayao Miyazaki, "The future is clear. It's going to fall apart. What's the use of worrying. It's inevitable." Check out the photo below.

The future is clear It's going to fall apart What's the use worrying It's inevitable -Miyazaki 🐺

In the photo, Beane is dressed as the self-named Princess Mononoke, a young woman named San who was raised by wolves and has a hatred of human beings while her companion is dressed as Ashitaka, the last prince of the Emishi tribe who San eventually comes to care for. For those unfamiliar, the characters come from Miyazaki's classic 1997 animated epic that follows Ashitaka's involvement in a struggle between the Forest Spirit and the human forces who consume its resources, destroying the forest in the process.

And Beane isn't the only CW actor getting into the Halloween spirit by dressing up as their favorite characters. Riverdale star KJ Apa used the holiday as an excuse to dress up as the Marvel Comics hero Spider-Man, a character he has been outspoken about his love for in the past, even going so far as to say that he wants to be Spider-Man in real life.

As for Beane, Princess Mononoke might be the only dressing up fans of her Flash character Jesse Quick get to see her do for a while. In the most recent episode of The Flash, Jesse broke up with Wally West via Breakup Cube and kicked her dad, Harrison "Harry" Wells, so she could focus on being Earth-2's Flash.

The Flash airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on The CW.
