CW’s The Flash Casts Wally West

By Walter MackAugust 5, 2015

Wally West is perhaps best known in the comic book world as being the first Kid Flash or the third person to take on the Flash mantle. Today, news has arrived of Keiynan Lonsdale, most recently seen as Uriah in the blockbuster, Insurgent (the second in the Divergent trilogy) has been cast in the role. 

While Wally has been Caucasian since his creation, but DC’s New 52 reboot brought the character back as half African American. Wally is also nephew to Iris West (played by Candice Patton in the show), but The Flash show has made no mention of Iris having a sibling, which means that Wally’s origin will probably be altered a bit (perhaps he’s nephew to Joe West and Iris’ cousin, instead?).

Lonsdale joins two other iterations of the Flash this coming Fall, with Grant Gustin playing Barry Allen, and Teddy Sears debuting as Jay Garrick.

Walter is a California native. He is currently in his last year of college pursuing a B.A. in English, but is often mistaken for a freshman...or a middle school tourist on occassion. His earliest gaming experience was Pokemon Red version on the Gameboy color, which he played actively. He would dabble with the Nintendo 64 and Playstation 2 for a bit before transitioning to many years of F2P MMOs. He then moved on to League of Legends, with whom he as an on and off again relationship. He currently spends most of his game time on his Playstation 4. He's also a bit of a Marvel nut.
