The Flash's Candice Patton Talks Iris West: 'There's So Much More Of Her To Uncover'

Candice Patton is on fire in this new feature with Vulkan magazine.

The Flash actress opened up about portraying Iris West on the show for so long and what’s ahead for her.

“I think this season; finally, we are seeing her come into her own,’ Candice says, loving that Iris is showing just how big of a part of the team she is. “Seeing her really be a part of the narrative. We are seeing how important she is to Flash and his story as a superhero.”

She adds, “Before, I think we’d lost that or hadn’t quite discovered it yet. We’re just starting to see her purpose and honestly, I feel like there’s so much more to uncover.”

Candice loves playing Iris, too.

“Iris is a joy to play, but I think anything you do for a long period of time will make you want to stretch yourself in a new different way.”

Don’t take that as she’s leaving though. She’s not.

Candice adds, “While I have no desire to say goodbye to Iris anytime soon, I do think it would be creatively fulfilling to try other things as well if I can find the time.”
