Arrow's Brandon Routh and Emily Bett Rickards to appear in The Flash

The episode 'All-Star Team-Up' will feature Ray Palmer forming a bond with the STAR Labs crew over a shared love for technology.

"In episode four of Flash when Felicity came by, it wasn't just a gag to have Felicity come by. It really was integrated into the story," producer Andrew Kreisberg told Variety .


Kreisberg went on to explain: "When you reach what's going on in The Flash at that point in the season, Barry (Grant Gustin) is really at a crossroads. Having Felicity come by exactly when he needs her really plays into the whole storyline.

"It's fine because as [fellow producer] Marc [Guggenheim once] said, Ray Palmer is all about technology and STAR Labs is all about technology.

"We get to see Ray so happy to be in STAR Labs… With Cisco (Carlos Valdes) and Ray, they're new best friends. The STAR Labs team is going to help Ray further his ATOM project."

Routh further teased: "I'm a Flash fan for sure - it's a fun show and the energy of that show jives more with Ray's energy, so I think he'll definitely be a kid in a candy store over there, checking out all of their cool equipment and everything they have going on."


The CW previously confirmed that development is underway for a potential spinoff based around Ray Palmer, a superhero better known in DC Comics as Atom.


Routh has promised that viewers will eventually see Ray Palmer suit up in Atom's famous blue costume as he becomes a vigilante.


The Flash airs on Tuesdays at 8pm on The CW. Sky1 airs the show in the UK.
