Robbie Amell will return to CW's hit series "The Flash," but not as the much loved superhero "Firestorm," who sacrificed himself to save Central City from being destroyed.

The CW has revealed via EW that Robbie Amell will reprise his role as Ronnie Raymond in an upcoming episode of "The Flash."

According to EW, the former superhero will be the Earth-2 version of Raymond, who instead of playing the heroic Firestorm, will be the villain, Deathstorm.
