"Having Mark reprise his role as the Trickster was on our original wishlist when we were planning our version of The Flash," the show's executive producer, Andrew Kreisberg, told Hitfix. "Christmas and Chanukah came early for us this year when he said yes! We are beyond humbled and excited to have him joining us for another round of deadly trickery!"
Hamill is the second original cast member to stop by The CW's Flash. Original Barry Allen John Wesley Shipp now plays Grant Gustin's dad.
