Mark Hamill is known for two things- being Luke Skywalker in Star Wars and being the best damn Joker voice this side of forever. These are facts, but fans of the actor will get to see him reprising another past role in The Flash according to Comic Book Resources.
Marvel Star Wars to Revisit Old Faces in New Comic Series
Hamill will be taking up the role of the Trickster once again. Fans of the original 1990s Flash tv series may remember that the actor played this role before. The Trickster was a reoccurring villain in the Flash comic. He didn't have super powers. Just a very clever con man with a lot of wonderful toys. In the show, Hamill appeared as the James Jesse version of the villain.
Hamill will be reprising this role but a little differently. Obviously, the man is a bit older (and beard-ier!) than he was in 1990s. He will play an aging and incarcerated Trickster who is a bit more serious and less cartoony than his original version. In the new Flash he is an anarchist terrorist who is actually helping the hero put an end to a copycat villain in the city. Also something to look forward to is the appearanceof Flash v1.0, John Wesley Shipp, the actor who wore the red uniform in the 90s show.
