Accordingly, the producers of the popular TV show will draw out the mystery of villain Zoom like a horror movie, which suits Tony Todd’s portrayal just fine, having been a popular character in many other horror flicks other than “The Candyman.”
Showrunner Andrew Kreisberg explained that during Season 1, they just modulated Tom Cavanagh’s voice as the Reverse Flash, but come Season 2, it would be a bit different.
He disclosed that part of the mystery of Season 2 is who or what is underneath the Zoom outfit and that they wanted to have something like James Earl Jones as Darth Vader, the iconic voice coming out of the mask.
Kreisberg said that if Reverse Flash was a speed warrior in Season 1, Zoom is like a speed demon and that no one does demon-voice better than Tony Todd.
He also added that Zoom is like the Marvel super villain, Venom, the nemesis of Spider-Man, which means that the big baddie could be the dark side of Barry Allen or The Flash himself.
The showrunner added that the costume of Zoom is much more organic and it would be very hard to tell if it is a suit or alive because there will be no skin showing and fans and viewers might even think that there’s a robot underneath or some sort of dark energy.
