The Flash Season 4 Set Photos Show New Female Villain

When The Flash returns to television screens this fall, it has one Speed Force-sized cliffhanger to resolve. But as recent set photos reveal, the show will still have plenty of ‘Villains of the Week’ – including a new female antagonist.

YVRShoots.com recently shared pictures of The Flash’s newest foe, who will reportedly appear the third episode of the season, entitled ‘Luck Me a Lady.’ In one set of photos, an actress is robbing a bank in a red dress, while other photos show the same actress running after a bus in a rather noteworthy casino outfit.

Fans were quick to recognize the casino dealer outfit as that belonging to the DC Comics villain Becky Sharpe, a.k.a. Hazard. Hazard has appeared throughout the DC Comics mythos as a member of the Injustice Society, and was the granddaughter of the original Gambler. The antagonist is bestowed with psionic powers, which allow her to cause good or bad “accidents” to her foes.

It’s unclear exactly what origin story The Flash’s version of Hazard will have, and how her rather unique powers will manifest. Either way, she is sure to be an interesting addition to the show – especially with Barry Allen/The Flash (Grant Gustin) appearing to sport a new ensemble in the fight against her.

The Flash returns for its fourth season on The CW on Oct. 10. The third season of The Flash is now available to stream on Netflix and will come to Blu-ray and other home media on Sept. 5.

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 was developed by Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg and Geoff Johns at The CW as a spinoff of Arrow. The series stars Grant Gustin as Barry Allen/The Flash, Candice Patton as Iris West, Danielle Panabaker as Caitlin Snow/Killer Frost, Carlos Valdes as Cisco Ramon/Vibe, Tom Cavanagh as Harrison Wells, Jesse L. Martin as Joe West, and Keiynan Lonsdale as Wally West/Kid Flash.
