Spoilers talking about Wally West's arrival in the show only made fans feel more excited for "The Flash" season 2 premiere.
Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) will get a new ally when the show returns which will pick up just a few months after the events in first season's finale.
It is not just fans who are hoping for "The Flash" season 2 premiere episode to air now. Even the actor who will play Wally West.
Keiynan Lonsdale, known for his role in dystopian film and book series "Divergent," said he was surprised to land the role in CW Network series. He is happy to get it since he himself is a follower of the DC comics-based TV series.
"It was interesting. I auditioned for a different TV show that was still in the same universe, and then I got a call a couple weeks later and my team said I wasn't going any further for that role, but the creators of "The Flash" wanted to see me for Wally West," Lonsdale said in an interview with The Wrap.
"And I was like, "Oh that's crazy, I've just been watching the whole season," so that was pretty cool. And then I went in and met Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg and they seemed really cool and really excited about the potential for the character. I had a couple of auditions and it spanned over a couple of months. So I really didn't know what was going to happen. I'm one of those people who doesn't like to assume I have anything until it's completely announced, so once it was announced I was like ok cool, I got it for sure."
Don't expect to appear in "The Flash" season 2 premiere episode since according to him, he will join the production crew only on October.
Lonsdale was also asked to share new details regarding his character but said even him is being left out. He also rues the fact he will stop being a fan and know all the spoilers.
"Everything has been kept under wraps, even to me, which I think is really cool. Since watching the show I've become a massive fan, so when I found out I got the part, one part of me was like "oh but now I'm going to know all the spoilers and stuff, I don't want to know that!" [laughs] But yeah, they haven't even told me the exact details yet in terms of the relation to Iris or how exactly Wally is going to be connected into the storyline and how he'll weave through the different storylines, so I'm not really sure. But I'm sure I'll find out soon. It's going to be a hard secret to keep!"
"The Flash" season 2 premiere is October 6.
