“Flashpoint” is all the rage right now and fans are eagerly awaiting the premiere of the third season of “The Flash.” The show will dive right into “Flashpoint” and we’ll be introduced to new versions of our favorite characters in the very first episode.
Cisco Ramon will be a slightly different character in the “Flashpoint” universe. He’ll still be smart and good with tech stuff, but he’ll also be rich. Carlos Valdes who plays Cisco on the show recently spoke to Collider about some changes fans might notice when it comes to Cisco’s “Flashpoint” persona.
“This character I’m playing is still Cisco Ramon, but it’s obviously an alternate reality version of him in which he is still a genius and still posses a technological prowess about him. Now though he’s able to cash in on that prowess and build his way up the ladder to become the richest man in America. He’s a billionaire! He’s created all these things and these apps at Ramon Industries — which looks a lot like S.T.A.R. Labs — and he’s ostentatious, not afraid to flaunt his wealth which makes for interesting colors and relationship dynamics. Barry has to struggle with the fact that this is not the Cisco he knows and there’s a bit of an antagonistic energy to this Cisco. It’s what makes the beginning of Season 3 so interesting.
Without a doubt “Flashpoint” is one of the most anticipated TV events set to take place during the CW’s fall season. However, some fans seem to be concerned that the event will leave certain characters with unfinished story arcs. Valdes insisted that’s not the case, and we’ll be seeing plenty more of Cisco experimenting with his powers as Vibe.
“I think it’s important to stress that the altered timeline of Flashpoint will not overtake the season. I think this season is more focused on the repercussions of the creation of that timeline and it being opened. I think a lot of fans are expressing concern at their favorite characters and relationships being gone, but without giving too much away, I can assure fans that is NOT the case. With that said, we get back to exploring Cisco and his powers.” Valdes then interestingly stressed, “Powers grow. That’s what they do.”
“The Flash” will return for season 3 on Tuesday, October 4th.
