The Flash cast & crew filmed scenes on Wednesday & Thursday nights, which went well into Thursday & Friday mornings in downtown Vancouver this week.

In my previous blog that you can find HERE we had Grant Gustin as The Flash, as well as Javicia Leslie as Red Death, along with a stunt woman playing Batwoman, as well as a stunt double for Red Death also being in the scenes.

This time, Grant, and Javicia were back again, but this time Javicia was in her Batwoman attire, while Red Death was being played exclusively by a stunt double. But they were also joined by 3 sort of unexpected returning characters. Andy Mientus (who was there working during his birthday, and the crew & cast sang him Happy Birthday when he wrapped, and gave him a little cake) was back as Hartley Rathaway / Pied Piper, he was joined by 2 of the most polarizing characters in the history of the show that fans either love unconditionally, or loathe, for the same reasons. Max Adler was back as Jaco Birch / The Hotness, and Damion Poitier was back as Keith / Goldface.

Like the night before, scenes had Batwoman teaming up with The Flash in an effort to stop Red Death. This time, they were teaming up with the three unexpected former villains, turned anti-heroes. The early part of the night I didnt see a lot of what was going on because of the angles available, As the night went on, the 1st scene I got a really good look at seemed to just have the 5 characters standing around together, looking to be having a chat. Whether this is before, or after the big battle, was not known. The actors between takes were having a good time, and all seemed to be having some laughs on set.

I then found another angle which only showed me the 3 returning characters standing together for that scene, as The Flash & Batwoman were blocked out by equipment.

A bit later, after Grant and Javicia had wrapped for the night, they did more scenes with the trio of anti-heroes doing a scene with Red Death. It was VERY HARD to see any of it again because of the angles available, but I did get a little peek thru part of 1 of the burned out cars in the scene to see The Hotness and Pied Piper using their skills to try & combat something (presumably Red Death since I didnt see another character there), and then were thrown backwards, with Goldface by this same thing.

After the trio wrapped. They did scenes with the stunt double for Red Death, and Batwoman, doing a fighting scene, where they traded blows through the wreckage of the burned out cars. That was the last I saw of the set. It was cold, and late, so even though they still had a couple more hours of filming left, I called it a night.

Based off what I saw that night, along with a recent social media post form Javicia herself. It seems this arc ends in episode 5. Great to see her back 1 last time before the Arrowverse bids a farewell. Before she wrapped that night, she stopped and took some photos with fans, and signed some stuff, including for 1 fan, a Red Death Funko, which she said something that i didnt know if it was a question, or a statement of face, but was something like "I'm the first person to play a live action Red Death". I didnt hear her whole quote, just that part, so I dont know if she was asking the person she was signing it for if they knew, or if she was saying it as a fact. But it was cool to see someone from the Arrowverse acknowledge it in some capacity that its the character everyone knew it was, despite WBDs PR departments incompetent attempt to mislead.
