See Keiynan Lonsdale as THE FLASH’s Kid Flash, a New X-MEN TV Series, and More

We’re just about a week out from San Diego Comic-Con. Are you ready? This is the time to examine the schedule and start prioritizing what you want to stand in line for. You’ll be able to see plenty of panels for television, including panels for some of the shows mentioned in today’s TV-Cap. Keep going to get a look at Kid Flash, to learn who’s been cast as Snapper Carr in Supergirl, to discover a new X-Men television series, and more.

Suit Up. Season two of The Flash brought Wally West, and since he was introduced, people have been wondering whether he would gain super speed. Now, we have an answer. Keiynan Lonsdale will play Kid Flash at some point in season three, and we have a good look at him in the red and yellow costume. Since the series seems to be following the “Flashpoint” story, it might mean West is permanently one with the Speed Force… or it could be temporary. [Nerdist, Images: The CW]

New Boss. Cat Grant has selected a new editor-in-chief for CatCo Magazine, and his name is Snapper Carr. The character will appear in season two of Supergirl in a recurring capacity, and Ian Gomez is slated to play him. [TVLine]

Roll Back the Clock. Stranger Things will premiere on Netflix on July 15, and the mysterious/supernatural series is set in the ’80s. That means all sorts of retro delights, and Clarke took them in when she visited the set. Read her report here at Nerdist.

Let It Grow. When Oliver Queen was discovered on the island way back in season one, he had long shaggy hair. He maintained that look in most of the flashbacks—until last season. But, season five of Arrow will see Ollie donning the longer ‘do, and Stephen Amell shared a photo of the look. [ComicsAlliance]

Where Does an Angel Go? Season 11 of Supernatural left the status of Castiel up in the air. Our very own Sydney talked with Misha Collins about what’s ahead for the fan-favorite angel in Season 12 and what he hopes to see from Castiel. Read the interview right this way.

Mutant Report. It appears that Fox is embracing the Marvel universe with a new X-Men action-adventure series. Writer Matt Nix is working on the as yet untitled series about “two ordinary parents who discover their children possess mutant powers. Forced to go on the run from a hostile government, the family joins up with an underground network of mutants and must fight to survive.” Fox has placed a put pilot commitment for the show. Variety also reports the Hellfire show is no longer in the works [Variety]

Serious Talent. Jessie Graff, you know, Supergirl’s stuntwoman, came back to American Ninja Warrior for the finals and she rocked it and qualified for the next round–while dressed as Wonder Woman. Watch her kick the obstacle course’s butt in the above video. How does she put on a smile for any of this insanity? [Comic Book Resources]

Where to Start. There are a not insignificant number of episodes of Star Trek: The Original Series. If you haven’t watched any of them, it’s a time commitment to jump in. Kyle A’s here to assist you with a guide to the 11 most essential installments. Study his list and go forth and binge.

Meet Elena. Disney’s first Latina princess is finally entering the lineup when Elena of Avalor premieres on the Disney Channel on July 22. Elena will be voiced by Aimee Carrero, and the cartoon will include influences from Latin and Hispanic cultures. [Variety]
