Zoom flash villain1/8/2023 ![]() ![]() Kreisberg also shared with Variety that with this villain, like the Reverse-Flash, they’re delivering a story that comic fans are familiar with, but with a spin that should help to keep the subject matter fresh. ![]() We’re going to assume that the Darth Vader references don’t continue to the point where Zoom is unmasked to be Barry’s father Henry, played by John Wesley Shipp. Last year, we thought of the Reverse-Flash as a speed warrior this year, Zoom is like a speed demon, and no one does demon-voice better than Tony Todd. Part of the mystery of the season is who or what is underneath the Zoom outfit, and so we wanted to do something like James Earl Jones as Darth Vader – the iconic voice coming out of this mask. Last year, with the Reverse-Flash, we just modulated Tom Cavanagh’s voice, and this year we wanted to do something a little bit different. In describing how the show will present this comic villain, executive producer Andrew Kreisberg knowingly namedrops one of fiction’s most popular villains as a comparison point. ![]() He appeared as the main antagonist of season two. Todd won’t actually be playing Zoom as the physical man-in-the-suit, but will be providing the haunting voice that presumably doubles down on the character’s intimidation factor. Type of Villain No information Hunter Zolomon also known as Zoom, is a psychotic serial killer from Earth-2 that gains the same powers as Flash after he was hit by the S.T.A.R Labs particle accelerator. If you think it’s a little strange that The CW, a network known for skewing as young as possible, would cast a 61-year-old man to play its central baddie, you’re not altogether wrong.
