TV Insider has confirmed with The CW that John Wesley Shipp will be appearing in the upcoming five-part "Crisis on Infinite Earths" Arrowverse crossover, which begins this December on The CW.

Shipp played Barry Allen on the original The Flash series in 1990-91 on CBS and also played on The Flash both as Henry Allen and Jay Garrick, the Flash of Earth-2.  His last appearance as The Flash of Earth-90 in last year’s Elseworlds crossover. He vanished during a battle with the Anti-Monitor in that storyline.

Sources are not saying what role Shipp will be playing but we believe he'll be playing some form of The Flash once again.

I was resisting, but this tears it. I'm gonna have to watch this turkey (but I'll hate myself in the morning).

Not gonna lie, I loved watching 90s Flash on the Sci-Fi Channel as a kid. The later seasons of Arrow and Flash lost me, but this may pull me back in.

I like the guy playing Flash now, but Shipp was my first Flash. Can’t wait to see him again!
