Grant Gustin Discusses His Future As The Flash

After nine seasons, The Flash is coming to an end, but series star Grant Gustin is not necessarily done with the superhero. In an interview with Us Weekly, Gustin revealed that he’s open to any Flash pitch that comes his way.

While he admitted that he can’t wrap his head around suiting up again at the moment, Gustin said, “if someone called me today or tomorrow and was like, ‘Hey, we have this amazing Flash idea,’ obviously it’s like, I’m gonna take that phone call and listen to that idea.”

He added, “I mean, it’s very, very close to my heart. I think it always will be.”

Gustin’s attachment to the character is not new. In March, the actor shared a video of himself hanging up the super suit for the last time, reflecting on his time as the character and saying goodbye to his Flash family.

“I got a chance to thank the crew, who have worked longer hours than anyone can imagine and are the reason we were able to accomplish 184 episodes of The Flash,” Gustin wrote. “More than anything I’ll miss chatting and laughing in between takes (and sometimes during takes) with so many of them. Regardless of how challenging this journey was at times, I know I laughed every single day at work for the last 9+ years. I made lots of mistakes and did a lot of growing up on this journey.”

Gustin’s willingness to listen to any Flash pitch sent his way is good news for fans of the Scarlet Speedster. While The Flash may be ending its run on The CW, it seems like the possibility of Gustin returning as the character is not out of the question.
