Robbie Amell has just been cast as the popular superhero, Firestorm, and will appear on The Flash.
The cousin of Stephen Amell, who plays Oliver Queen/Green Arrow, Robbie will play one half of Firestorm, Ronnie. Ronnie in the CW’s The Flash will be Caitlin Snow’s fiance, and plays a pivotal role in the particle accelerator accident that created Flash. Robbie’s casting follows a slew of casting news from Arrow, and it is great to see that CW’s other superhero show is given equal attention. Robbie will supposedly appear in the third episode.
Don’t forget to catch The Flash’s pilot on October 7th!
