It appears Captain Cold will be changing.
DC Comics’ CCO Geoff Johns said that The Flash‘s version of the villain was inspired by The Heat with producers looking to Robert De Niro’s character from the film as their muse.
“He is this guy who pulls jobs very carefully, and, suddenly, [The Flash turns up] and he has to change his game,” Johns said. “He has to figure out how to deal with this new threat in Central City to his way of life. It’s all about him evolving and surviving the new world order. Guns aren’t going to do it, so he’s got to have something a little bit stronger.”
TVLine.com also talked to the show’s EP Andrew Kreisberg who promised that Wentworth Miller’s Captain Cold shouldn’t be compared to the comic version of the villain just yet.
“He’s not the villain that we see in the comics yet,” Kreisberg said. “But we’re going to get there.”
