Comic-Con The Flash Season 5 Trailer

The CW‘s The Flash: Season 5 TV show trailer from the 2018 San Diego Comic-Con International has been released.

The Flash: Season 4’s plot synopsis: “In March 2017, Kreisberg confirmed that the main villain for the fourth season would not be a speedster, like the previous three seasons. Executive producers Aaron and Todd Helbing also mentioned that there would be less time travel in the season, with Aaron saying, “We like playing with the timelines and the different time periods and future and past. For now, I think we’re going to focus on the present.” In June 2017, Clifford DeVoe / The Thinker was reported to be the main antagonist of the season. He was first hinted in the third season episode “Abra Kadabra” when the titular villain mentions him among the Flash’s greatest enemies, and again in the season finale “Finish Line” when Savitar mentions facing DeVoe but states that the Flash has not dealt with him yet.”

The Flash: Season 4 starred Grant Gustin, Candice Patton, Jessica Parker Kennedy, Danielle Panabaker, Keiyan Lonsdale, Jesse L. Martin, Carlos Valdes, Tom Felton, Tom Cavanaugh, Clifford DeVoe, Neil Sandilands, Danny Trejo, and Kim Engelbrecht.

The Flash: Season 5’s villain and what Season 5’s plot will entail:

Chris Klein (Election, Oz, American Pie) has signed on to play next season’s scourge of Central City, Cicada. A grizzled, blue-collar everyman whose family has been torn apart by metahumans, Cicada now seeks to exterminate the epidemic — one metahuman at a time.

Matching wits with The Thinker, who by season’s end had harnessed the powers of all twelve bus metas he created, stretched Team Flash to their limits, but with the help of some new allies, Barry Allen (aka The Flash) and company were able to put a stop to the Enlightenment and save Central City once again. However, with the arrival of Barry and Iris’ speedster daughter, Nora, who arrived from the future admitting to having made a “big mistake,” things are anything but status quo. Will parenthood be the challenge that finally slows The Flash down?
