The Flash First Look! Oliver, Diggle, Barry and Wally Suit Up and Reunite in BTS Photo From David Ramsey
Goosebumps, people.
Following a fake-out or two from Stephen Amell, fellow Arrow vet David Ramsey has stepped forth with the goods: a true first look at The Flash‘s final-season episode that reunites Oliver, Diggle and Barry.
“Congratulations to Team Flash for nine incredible seasons. But most importantly.. thank ALL OF YOU for your undying support for this universe,” Ramsey wrote Friday night on Instagram, alongside a BTS photo of him, Amell, Grant Gustin and Keiynan Lonsdale, suited up as Spartan, Green Arrow, The Flash and Kid Flash (see it below). “None of this is possible without you! Enjoy the mashup you had no idea you needed! #TheFlashFinalSeason #ArrowLives!”
As recently announced, the ninth episode of The Flash‘s ninth and final season, which is currently being directed by Flash vet Danielle Panabaker, brings back Amell, Ramsey and Lonsdale, as well as Sendhil Ramamurthy as Season 6 Flash foe Ramsey Rosso/Bloodwork.
“As soon as our final season was announced, we knew we wanted Stephen to come back and reprise his iconic role as Oliver Queen,” The Flash showrunner Eric Wallace said in a statement. “After all, it was Oliver who originally launched Barry Allen on his heroic path. That’s why everyone on Team Flash felt so strongly that it was important to create a full-circle moment with Oliver’s return in the final season of The Flash.”
As for Diggle’s involvement, “As one of the legacy Arrowverse characters who helped start it all, John Diggle holds a special place in our hearts, as well as the fans’,” Wallace said. “Plus, the commanding presence and commitment to excellence actor/director David Ramsey brings to the screen each-and every time is truly inspiring. So, of course, it was a no-brainer to have Diggle join Team Flash in our final season!”
The result of Oliver Queen’s very improbable reappearance — after all, he died twice during the “Crisis on Infinite Earths” crossover event — is “an epic-yet-emotional episode we hope Arrowverse fans will enjoy,” Wallace said. “It’s all to say ‘thank you’ to everyone for watching and supporting our show throughout nine wonderful years. We absolutely cannot wait for everyone to see Grant and Stephen saving the world together again. And yes, there will be thrills, chills and tears.”

Should not have returned, takes away from the Arrow show
Couldn’t agree more!
Arrow final season itself took away from the Arrow show. They focused on setting up the new shows more than giving the original show and Olliver a proper ending.
I guess it all depends on how they do it. I could see scenarios that honor the ending of Arrow rather than detracting from it – time travel, memory/dream, magic, Speed Force shenanigans…
Just have to wait and see how they justify it.
I disagree. They are obviously doing another time travel story with this so to me it’s just a story that we didn’t see while Arrow was on. Like a story between seasons or something.
Also, Arrow ended 3 years ago. Enough time has past . IMO anyway
Now my question is – has Diggle gained the fortitude needed to not throw up if Flash-moved to a different location?
uy si ahhhhhhh
Well it’s either a flashback or time travel appearance. Since he’s in the Afterlife now.
Well based on Grants suit, it is not a flashback. It will be interesting explaining Arrows return to life. I hope he doesn’t die a 3rd time! UGH
More probably a time travel indeed, with Oliver wearing his season 8 suit. But I don’t remember Diggle sporting a beard until his last appearance in Superman S2 finale. If there is no continuity error I hope there is a good story here.
I doubt this snapshot is a glimpse at a moment from episode 9. We’ll just have to wait and see what the team has in store for us this season. Good luck everyone, and it’s good to see old friends again!
I just read about Carlos Valdes being in a new musical show and realized I haven’t heard yet if he’s going to show up again in this. I’ll be bummed if he doesn’t pop up. But I’m very excited for this last season! Oliver’s suit looks nice.
Has the Spartan suit always had green highlights?
It definitely had dark red highlights at some point.
It never occurred to me that Oliver could make an appearance. So I’m super excited!
