Mark Hamill is set to reprise his role as The Trickster on CW's The Flash, a role he had previously portrayed on the 1991 Flash series starring John Wesley Shipp.
Hamill is expected to return on the 17th episode of the current season. The official character description is as follows:
"“Mark Hamill returns in a brand new interpretation of James Jesse (aka The Trickster), a role he originated on the 90’s ‘Flash‘ series. In this new iteration, The Trickster is an anarchist terrorist con man serving a life sentence in Iron Heights who helps Barry (Grant Gustin) and Det. West (Jesse L. Martin) to foil the city-wide attacks of a wannabe Trickster eagerly following in the original’s deadly footsteps. The episode will reunite him with John Wesley Shipp who went up against him as the original ‘Flash‘ on the CBS version."
Hamill is not the only star of the original show ready to reprise their roles. Amanda Pays will debut as Dr. Tina McGee in this week's episode "The Man In The Yellow Suit."
