The Flash’s Iris Won’t be Passive About Her Foretold Death

Perhaps the biggest possible tragedy coming into the latter half of The Flash is Iris's foretold death by Savitar's hand. And while nothing is set in stone in The Flash universe—especially when it comes to the death of a loved one for Barry—it seems that the knowledge of this death will bring some changes to one person in particular: Iris herself.

In an interview with TV Guide, co-showrunner Aaron Helbing revealed that Iris will learn the truth and will be affected in more ways than one.

"Oh, she's devastated. She's now facing her mortality. She knows the end date, and that's terrifying. But now that she has an end date in mind, that kind of emboldens her, through the rest of the season because, ‘I know when I'm supposed to die, so I'm not going to die until that point.' That's going to cause some friction between Iris and the rest of the team."

Does this mean that she will become too headstrong to handle? We've seen this happen before, as in Wally's case where he started to feel like he's invincible. Or even Barry when he thought nothing could really go wrong.

The good thing is that the team will be behind her 100%, whether it's in using their powers to prevent her murder or supporting her endeavors in taking charge of her future.

As far as Barry is concerned, it looks like he will have a crutch of sorts when it comes to dealing with Iris's future. After all, there was Flashpoint, a big event that affected everyone all because of a decision that he made for himself.

"He comes clean about what he saw and because of that, it brings them all closer together and helps them really work together to stop that future event from happening."

This may be hinting at Barry's retribution after all that's happened because of Flashpoint. He won't be operating just as Iris's boyfriend and close ally. Rather, the entire team will be there to make sure that the death of a team member won't happen.

The Flash returns on Jan. 24 on The CW.
