Robbie Amell wants to make sure that he's still part of the S.T.A.R. Labs team. The actor, who left "The Flash" following his character Ronnie's heartbreaking fate earlier in this season, teases his return sometime in the future.
Amell, who will star in comedy movie "Nine Lives" alongside Jennifer Garner and Kevin Spacey, recently posted on Instagram a photo with Franz Drameh, who plays the new half of Firestorm, Jefferson "Jax" Jackson. He wrote along with the pic, "Firestorm is in great hands. But I'll be back."
Amell's character Ronnie is presumed dead after he's sucked into the singularity to save the world in the second season premiere. However, executive producer Andrew Kreisberg said earlier this month that "that doesn't mean that we've seen the last of Robbie Amell on this show." There has been a speculation that Ronnie could be on a different Earth, but it's not confirmed yet.
In the next episode, Barry (Grant Gustin) and his team will find Dr. Stein's (Victor Garber) perfect match in an attempt to save his life and Jax will be introduced as the new Firestorm. The episode titled "The Fury of Firestorm" will air Tuesday, October 27 at 8/7c on The CW.
It's reported that Mark Hamill will reprise his role as The Trickster in the midseason finale, a Christmas episode, which is slated to air on December 8. The said episode will also feature the return of some other familiar faces.
