The Flash: Getting Barry Back Will Cause Conflict Within Team Flash

It may not be Barry Allen’s disappearance but trying to get him back that tears apart Team Flash.

Barry disappeared into the Speed Force after stopping Savitar in The Flash‘s third season, but Team Flash is determined to bring him back. At least, some of them are.

“I wish I could say that the team unanimously agrees that things are not the same when the season starts, but not everybody feels that way,” Carlos Valdes, who plays Cisco Ramon, tells Entertainment Weekly. “Most of the energy on the team is toward getting Barry back, and Cisco may or may not have some things up his sleeve with regards with how to make that happen, but there is a member of the team that’s not on board, and that ultimately makes the mission to get Barry back a lot more difficult. But the thing about Cisco is if he wants to get his friends back, he will do whatever it takes the get his friends back — and that’s not just Barry.”

The Flash Season 4 trailer from Comic-Con, seen above, certainly seemed to indicate that Iris West is the one going against the grain when it comes to bringing back Barry Allen. However, it seems inevitable that Barry Allen will return to the land of the living as the Scarlet Speedster. After all, he still has to die in 2024 stopping the crisis.

The Flash returns for its fourth season on the CW on Oct 10, 2017.

From the Arrow creative team of executive producers Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg and director David Nutter, THE FLASH is a fast-paced super hero drama that follows the high-speed adventures of the Fastest Man Alive. Written by Berlanti, Kreisberg and DC Entertainment‘s Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns, the action drama follows Central City Police scientist Barry Allen, an everyday guy with the heart of a hero and the genuine desire to help others.

Struck by the supercharged fallout of a particle accelerator explosion, forensic scientist Barry Allen becomes the fastest man alive: The Flash! With his newfound time-warping speed and help from the S.T.A.R. Labs team – Caitlin Snow, Cisco Ramon and Harrison Wells – and his adoptive family, Detective Joe West and Joe’s daughter Iris, the Scarlet Speedster runs circles around other metahumans set on wreaking havoc in Central City, while traveling between alternate universes and protecting our world from otherworldly threats. Last season, new dangers arrived from a parallel earth known as Earth-2, under the direction of an evil speedster named Zoom. In Season Three, Barry faces the unknown – as he irrevocably alters the timeline by saving his mother from the clutches of the Reverse-Flash. The only question now is – as he wrestles with the consequences of his own Flashpoint Paradox, including the wrathful Speed God Savitar – will he be able to find a way out?

The Flash stars Grant Gustin as Barry Allen/The Flash, Candice Patton as Iris West, Danielle Panabaker as Caitlin Snow/Killer Frost, Carlos Vades as Cisco Ramon/Vibe, Tom Cavanagh as Harrison Wells, Keiynan Lonsdale as Wally West/Kid Flash: and Jesse L. Martin as Joe West.
