‘The Flash’ Theory Explains How Tom Cavanagh’s Eobard Thawne Returns

Tom Cavanagh’s return as the fan-favorite Arrowverse villain Eobard Thawne in The Flash is explained in an interesting new theory.

The Flash has featured so many time-traveling storylines that sometimes it can be easy to forget which events have actually happened and which have been erased. During this current fifth season of The CW’s The Flash, Nora West-Allen consistently goes to the future to visit Eobard Thawne (Tom Cavanagh), who was defeated by her father Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) in the show’s present timeline.

This latest fan theory regarding the hit Arrowverse series comes from a Reddit post by username Amphae and explains how Tom Cavanagh is able to make his return as the nefarious Eobard Thawne in the future. The initial theory is brief but if you look in the comments section on the post, Amphae gives more insight into the specifics of the theory. Check out the intriguing fan theory in the post below.
