Grant Gustin as Barry Allen in The Flash The CW

Following the tragic events of The Flash season 3 finale, fans are wondering what is next in store for Barry Allen and in what role we will see him in season 4.

Actor Grant Gustin who plays the Scarlet Speedster in The Flash took to social media to share first look of clean-shaved Barry, with the perfectly tossed up hair. Gustin is seen wearing a blue shirt and a beige jacket to complete his look as the saviour of Central City.

"I cant wait to watch it! Last season was so touching. Can't wait to see the power due to my 2 favourite actors together again, @grantgust and @t22felton . I hope you two see this. :3, " replied a user.

The May finale of The Flash ended with Barry voluntarily walking into the Speed Force to save his city, and fans have been wondering how he will return from the extra-dimensional energy. One fan asked, "How will you come out of the Speed Force?! Must knoooooowwwww."
