First Look at Wentworth Miller’s Captain Cold on THE FLASH!


Mere hours before The Flash debuts on The CW, Executive Producer Geoff Johns has posted a first look at actor Wentworth Miller as one of the show’s villains, Leonard Snart aka Captain Cold, on Instagram. One photo show a close-up of Miller in polarized goggles wielding his trademark cold gun, while another is a wider shot of the actor in what looks like a blue parka. Miller was first cast on the Arrow spinoff in July and makes his first appearance in episode four before returning as a full-fledged supervillain in episode 10. His character is the leader of the Rogues, a group of villains that also includes Miller’s Prison Break co-star Dominic Purcell as pyromaniac Mick Rory/Heatwave.

Personally, I think this is a good look for Captain Cold. Let’s be honest, we were never going to get the exact look from the comics that most of us were expecting. This more contemporary look pays homage to the original design of the character — the parka, the gun, and reflective goggles — while still maintaining a look and feel that would fit in the show’s setting. Besides, who’s to say that Captain Cold’s look (and hopefully Flash’s as well) won’t evolve? I’m confident that this show will last at least 2-3 seasons, and anything can happen in that time frame. Johns has already promised that this show will be the most comic book styled show ever made. If what we’ve seen so far is any indication, he’s sticking to that promise.
