The Flash: Iris Will Be "Emboldened" After Learning of Her Future Death

When the CW drama returns, figuring out how he can save Iris will be first on Barry's mind - but that's far from the only drama Team Flash will face.

Barry witnessed Savitar kill Iris in the future. How will that weigh on his mind, and how will he attempt to stop that from happening? Aaron Helbing: It’s going to weigh tremendously. To be honest, that’s going to be a huge driving force for the rest of the season, trying to garner as much information as they can from that event. And they’re going to do whatever it takes to save Iris.

What is Iris’ first reaction like when Barry tells her what he saw? Helbing: Oh, she’s devastated. She’s now facing her mortality. She knows the end date, and that’s terrifying. But now that she has an end date in mind, that kind of emboldens her through the rest of the season because, “I know when I’m supposed to die, so I’m not going to die until that point.” That’s going to cause some friction between Iris and the rest of the team.

Iris is such a great, competent character. Will we see her become very proactive in saving her own life or will it be a lot of Barry and the rest of the team trying to save her? Helbing: She always plays a vital role. She’s essentially Flash’s beating heart. With respect to that, the team is going to… they have superpowers. Vibe (Carlos Valdes) has the ability to go into other dimensions. Kid Flash (Keiynan Lonsdale) is the second fastest man alive. I would say that they’re kind of taking the forefront, but Iris is always going to be involved in those conversations and she’s going to be that North Star for that entire team. “This is what we’re working towards. This is what we’re going to do. We’re going to prevent Iris from being brutally murdered by Savitar.”

How will what Barry learned from Flashpoint affect the way he goes about trying to save Iris? Helbing: It impacts him greatly in that he comes clean. He comes clean about what he saw and because of that, it brings them all closer together and helps them really work together to stop that future event from happening.
