The Flash isn’t always the best when it comes to linear storytelling and continuity, but surely Season 3 went too far in hinting at the Thinker for him not to appear in Season 4!
Luckily, TVLine already reports that The Flash is currently casting for an actor in his 40s to play the Thinker.
The show backed off mentions of next season’s bad guy until the Season 3 finale, when Savitar referenced a cerebral inhibitor that he and his version of Team Flash used to battle the mysterious “DeVoe.”
Savitar simply said that Barry and Co. “haven’t gotten there yet,” which made it practically a sure thing that DeVoe would be on the scene as the Thinker at some point in the 2017-2018 season.
