According to Entertainment Weekly actor Robbie Amell, Arrow’s Steve Amell’s cousin, is officially joining the cast of The Flash as none other than Ronnie Raymond aka the physical half of the hero Firestorm.

It has been revealed that Amell’s first appearance in the season will begin starting on Episode 3 and will continue to reoccur thoughout the season.

Fans of the comics are aware that Ronnie Raymond physicist Martin Stein were unexpectedly caught in a nuclear accident that at first fused the two together, and later allowing them to control it, eventually becoming the hero Firestorm.
