Right on the heels of yesterday's huge annoucement of the 5-part crossover-style event happening at the outset of The Flash's 8th season, we have one more casting news, and it's Tony Curran as Despero. Curran, who you might know from his roles in Your Honor, Ray Donovan, and Doctor Who, has been cast in the role that some might recognize from the comics. Despero is described as:

A powerful and intelligent alien possessing incredible telepathic powers who left his homeworld—Kalanor—under mysterious circumstances. Now he’s facing a deadly mission on Earth, one whose outcome will decide the fate of humankind and put him on a collision course with Team Flash.

It stands to see whether Despero will show up for the Armageddon event or after. Let us know your thoughts below and in our forum! Don't forget to follow us on Twitter for breaking news!
