Trivia / The Flash 2014 S 9 Ep 13 A New World Part Four

• What Could Have Been:
  • Carlos Valdes was originally wishing to reprise his role as Cisco Ramon for the Grand Finale of The Flash (2014), but much to his dismay, unworkable scheduling conflicts with his starring role in Hulu's Up Here prevented him from coming back as Cisco one last time.
  • Teddy Sears (Hunter Zolomon/Zoom) was originally supposed to share a scene with Grant Gustin (Barry Allen/Flash), but the latter got a Covid infection during the filming, preventing that from happening.
  • Grant Gustin always envisioned the series ending with Barry pulling a Heroic Sacrifice and turning into a bolt of lightning and travelling back in time to hit 2013 Barry Allen in his lab during the Particle Accelerator explosion. This was vetoed in favour of the happy ending by Eric Wallace.
  • Jordan Fisher (Bart Allen/Impulse) was originally meant to appear in this episode, but he had scheduling conflicts with the Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street musical. In the finished version, Bart Allen is merely mentioned.
