After first teasing his appearance back in March, Wally West is finally—officially—heading to The Flash. The CW series has tapped Australian actor Keiynan Lonsdale (Insurgent) to play the iconic character from the comic books, who becomes Kid Flash. Lonsdale will make his debut on the show this winter.
.
“Just like when we met [Flash star Grant Gustin] for
the first time, we instantly knew Keiynan embodied
all the heart and courage of a hero,” executive
producer Andrew Kreisberg said in a statement. “We
are so excited to be bringing this much-beloved
character onto the show.”
.
There’s no word yet on whether Kid Flash will make
an appearance on DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, the
spin-off from the Arrow/Flash universe that will
premiere midseason.

The Flash returned Tuesday, October 6 at 8pm on The CW. Are you looking forward to the introduction of Kid Flash?
