23. Teddy Sears’ Flash

In the thrilling climax of The Flash‘s breathtaking Speed Force journey, a familiar face races into the scene. That face belongs to none other than Teddy Sears, well-known to fans for his significant role in CW’s The Flash, where he brought the sinister character of Hunter Zoloman, or Zoom, to life.

In an intriguing turn of events on the TV show, Zoloman grew weary of his villainous lifestyle and opted for a makeover. Donning the guise of Jay Garrick, aka The Flash, in his own universe, he even sported the signature winged helmet straight out of the comic books.

In a twist, you can spot this particular version of The Flash dashing through the Speed Force in the movie’s final act, underscoring The Flash’s grand ode to its roots and character evolution.

24. Andy Muschietti’s Cameo

As The Flash gradually regains its equilibrium in the closing moments, a delightful surprise awaits viewers. Director Andy Muschietti adds an extra dash of pizzazz to the scene by taking a small yet noteworthy role himself.

Picture this: Barry, in a typical speedy dash, is en route to his father’s court hearing. Along the way, he swiftly snatches a hot dog from a seemingly unsuspecting reporter stationed outside the courthouse.

That reporter is none other than Muschietti himself, sneaking into one of the last surprise appearances in the film.
