Mark Hamill is back as The Trickster for tonight’s midseason finale of The Flash!
The second season of The Flash has hits its midway point with tonight’s all-new episode. Appropriately titled “Running to Stand Still,” the episode marks the last new episode for at least the next few weeks. It also features the return of Mark Hamill’s Trickster who, as fans are likely to know, originated the role in the 1990s “The Flash” series. Today, The CW has released a new behind-the-scenes featurette looking at the Christmas-themed midseason finale and you can check it out in the player below!
Episode 2×09 of The Flash, “Running to Stand Still,” is officially described as follows:
“When Mark Mardon AKA The Weather Wizard (guest star Liam McIntyre) returns to break Leonard Snart AKA Captain Cold (guest star Wentworth Miller) and James Jesse AKA The Trickster (guest star Mark Hamill) out of Iron Heights, Barry must stop these rogues from taking over Central City during Christmas. Meanwhile, Joe and Iris meet Wally West (Keiynan Lonsdale).”
The Flash stars Grant Gustin as Barry Allen/The Flash, Candice Patton as Iris West, Rick Cosnett as Eddie Thawne, Danielle Panabaker as Caitlin Snow, Carlos Valdes as Cisco Ramon and Jesse L. Martin as Detective Joe West. The new season sees the addition of newcomers Teddy Sears as Jay Garrick, Keiynan Lonsdale as Wally West, Shantel VanSanten as Patty Spivot, Violett Beane as Jesse Quick, Demore Barnes as Tokamak, and Candyman himself Tony Todd as the voice of the new “big bad,” Zoom.
