The time for guessing games is over, as we finally know who Savitar is. Last week it was revealed that Savitar is a version of Barry from the future, but so far Barry is the only one who knows.
The rest of Team Flash will obviously find out about Savitar’s identity soon, and executive producer Andrew Kreisberg recently told EW that they will react with “horror and sadness.”
“What’s interesting about people’s reactions — we certainly wrote it, but just the way the cast performs it — is it’s one thing to have seen that giant metal suit and hear that there is a version of Barry inside of it. It’s quite another thing when you actually come face-to-face with what’s inside. Those scenes that are coming up over the next few episodes, as everyone gets a real glimpse of this person, it’s this mixture of both horror and sadness.”
Fans are waiting to find out the details of how Barry became Savitar, and it sounds like his fall from grace will break the hearts of Flash fans around the world.
“His visage is obviously very upsetting — seeing the scar and the milky white eye, but also seeing the person that you love be so twisted. Barry Allen, who probably has the gentlest soul of all of the characters in the Arrowverse, to just see how far he could fall, he’s both terrifying, but it’s also heartbreaking.”
“The Flash” will return tomorrow with “Cause and Effect.”
