Firestorm Coming To The CW's Flash

Actor Robbie Amell (The Tomorrow People) has just been confirmed as officially joining The CW's DC-verse, as Ronnie Raymond - aka Firestorm, on the upcoming Flash series. Amell, cousin of Arrow's Stephen Amell will debut as Raymond on the show's third episode, and then remain on in a recurring role.

Ronnie Raymond, a maintenance worker at S.T.A.R Labs and Dr. Caitlin Snow's fiance, plays an important part in the freak accident that zaps Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) into The Flash. Amell himself shared "I'm so excited to join forces with Greg Berlanti and The CW again on The Flash. Being brought into the DC Unierse is a dream, I can't wait to get started!"

Technically speaking the Robbie Raymond character isn't Firestorm by himself, as it's his fusion with DC character Dr. Martin Stein that creates the nuclear-powered superhero. Maybe they will change how he acts for a whole new take on the character, something that has been done before in both Smallville and Arrow. Check out the debut trailer below for what we can expect when the series launches.
