“Star Wars” legend Mark Hamill is reprising his role as super villain The Trickster on hit TV series The FLASH, The ENQUIRER has learned.
Hamill, 63, first played the DC Comics iconic character on the 1990s CBS series “The Flash” which starred John Wesley Shipp as The Fastest Man Alive.
The Trickster aka James Jesse first appeared in the comics and was a member of the Scarlet Speedster’s Rogues Gallery.
According to a CW presser, "The Trickster is an anarchist terrorist con man serving a life sentence in Iron Heights who helps Barry Allen – the Flash (Grant Gustin) to foil the city-wide attacks of a wannabe Trickster eagerly following in the original's deadly footsteps.”
“We are beyond humbled and excited to have him joining us for another round of deadly trickery!" exec producer Andrew Kreisberg enthused.
Hamill’s not the first to actor return to Central City.
The original TV Flash John Wesley Ship, is playing the new Flash’s imprisoned father. And Amanda Pays, who co-starred on the original series as Dr. Tina McGee, is also reprising her role.
The CW's The Flash premiered to 4.2 million viewers on Oct. 7 and is a “runaway” hit, insiders say.
