While we got a couple of very cool sizzle reels for Arrow and The Flash during this weekend’s New York Comic Con, there weren’t too many huge reveals in terms of casting or story details. However, thanks to a new photo floating around social media, we now know that Star Wars: The Force Awakens star Mark Hamill will be returning to The Flash as The Trickster!

While there was initially some speculation that the image below may have been from season one, The CW later confirmed that Hamill will be back, with the actor taking to Twitter to say, “Supposed to keep my return to [The Flash] secret but never refuse a selfie request. Does “oops” count as an excuse?” Probably not, but it’s still pretty great to have him back.

What does this photo tell us? Well, The Trickster is clearly still behind bars and has a serious obsession with The Flash if the childish drawings in his cell are any sort of indication!

Hamill stole the show in season one when he reprised the role of the villain he first played in the short-lived 1990s Flash series, and fans have been hoping ever since that he might reappear. With The Force Awakens on the horizon, you can’t blame the show for wanting to bring him back, especially as his increased profile will no doubt lead to a ratings boost!

Regardless of that, it should be very interesting to discover what The Trickster is up to…
