CW's 'The Flash' Spoilers: Will Grant Gustin, Mark Hamill Face "Diabolically Depraved” Trickster? [WATCH]

While The Flash is on its winter break on the CW network, plans are already underway for the upcoming second half of the first season From DC Comics' Rogues gallery, will Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) face a more "dangerous, diabolically depraved" Trickster (played by Mark Hamill)?

In our first recap, Barry (Gustin)was struck by lightning and thrown into a vat of chemicals, After the particle accelerator explosion, Caitlin Snow (Danielle Panabaker) and Cisco Ramon (Carlos Valdes) have been studying Barry's newfound super-speed powers. As the scarlet speedster, they have been helping fight against the metahumans, who use their powers to harm Central City.

We previously mentioned, Star Wars: The Force Awakens actor Mark Hamill will reprise his role as Trickster. Back in the early '90s, John Wesley Shipp played the original scarlet speedster and the Village of the Damned actor was his nemesis. On the CW episode, the Trickster has been incarcerated but a copycat has been imitating his previous crimes.

On his official Twitter account, Hamill tweets, "Dreaming of dangerous, diabolically depraved new tricks is an unexpected holiday treat. Thank you @CW_TheFlash"

In an interview with IGN, The Batman Animated Series voice actor had spoken to the showrunners over the phone, and has watched the previous eight episodes. Hamill reveals, "When they asked me to be a part of it, the last thing I was thinking was that I would be returning to that specific role, but I think you're going to be really pleased with what they've come up with. It was totally unexpected."

The CW show has a way of bringing back characters from original series and playing around with them. In the mid-season finale, Amanda Pays returned to The Flash as Dr. Tina McGee but this time, she is the big bad.

Comparing his return to the Trickster to Luke Skywalker, Hamill adds, "It's like putting on an old pair of pants in the back of the closet and finding out there's a 20 dollar bill in the pocket. It's like 'Oh, wow! I forgot all about this!' And it's more enjoyable because it's so unexpected."
