Having secured Jesse L. Martin (Law & Order) for the role of Detective West, The CW’s upcoming pilot The Flash has now found its Iris West, with Candice Patton (The Game) set to link up with Grant Gustin’s Barry Allen in the planned Arrow spin-off.
Patton becomes the latest name to join the cast after Rick Gosnett (The Vampire Diaries), who will play Detective Eddie Thawne – rumoured to be an alias of Eobard Thawne, a.k.a Professor Zoom – and Danielle Panabaker (Friday the 13th), who will play Caitlin Snow, the alter-ego of the New 52’s Killer Frost.
The Flash pilot is set to go into production in March with Arrow co-creators Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg and director David Nutter producing alongside DC’s Geoff Johns.
