BEWARE OF SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT!

Savitar is a future version of Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) himself. When the villain said, “You are the past, whereas I am the future, Flash,” he literally meant that he is the future Flash.

“The mystery is ongoing, but obviously Savitar is a version of Barry Allen, a heavily scarred version,” executive producer Andrew Kreisberg told EW about why a future version of Barry Allen would want to kill Iris West.

“What’s really cool for anyone who thought that there wasn’t a plan, or we didn’t know, or we were making this up as we go, this was always where we were heading,” Andrew added. “The idea that the darkest villain we could come up with was actually a very damaged version of our hero was interesting and fresh to us. We’re not only competing with all the stuff that we’ve done on Flash, but we’re always competing with everything we’ve done on all the other shows. So to have our lead actor be both the hero and the villain isn’t something we’ve done before, so that was exciting for us as storytellers.”
