And now we know why: Because he’s not playing Ronnie or Firestorm at all.

I get to leave a lot of carnage in my wake.

It was also nice to have the sweet flashbacks with Danielle.
ROBBIE AMELL:It was a really fun way to get to come back to the show.
It was very fresh for me but still felt like home.
What is this Deathstorm like compared to the Earth-2 version you played back in season 2?
And they were like, “No, this is going to be different.”
No, I didn’t know much at all.
I was essentially just told, “We’ve got an arc for you.”
It sounded like it was going to be the final season because they were unsure about doing another one.
It’s going to be a four-episode graphic novel with kind of a horror-movie vibe to it.
I was like, “That sounds great.”
Now that he’s revealed himself as Deathstorm to Caitlin, what’s his next move?
He goes out and starts preying on individuals.
You definitely don’t getthatguy coming back.
It’s going to be bad.
It’s going to piss off a ton of people.
I think the hate tweets will come rolling in.
I’m excited about it.
You’re looking forward to getting hate for what Deathstorm does?
Oh, for sure.
How many more episodes are you in as Deathstorm?
What was your favorite part about returning to the show as Deathstorm?
Definitely the outcome, that’s going to be something that nobody expected to happen.
It’s cool that you get to see Danielle and I from season 1, even though… What was it like filming those really romantic flashback scenes with Ronnie and Caitlin?
Are there any more Ronnie flashback scenes coming up?
No, the flashbacks were just in episode 1.
He is a total bad guy for the rest of the arc.
But Deathstorm is not a real person.
This thing is pure evil.
How did you get into that kind of headspace before filming each scene?
The nice thing about that is a lot of it’s done for me.
What are you most excited for fans to see from you as Deathstorm?
Those scenes are pretty interesting.
The Flashairs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on the CW.
