Keiynan Lonsdale, who plays Wally West on CW’s Legends of Tomorrow and The Flash, will not feature as a series regular on either show’s next season, and now the actor has taken to Twitter to address why.
“I’ve changed a lot in the past year (as you’ve probably noticed lol),” he said, “and for infinite reasons my perspective on life & what I want from it now is just completely different. Because of that, my heart told me it was the right time to continue my journey on an unknown path, and I’m so damn grateful to both shows for honouring & respecting that with me.”

“I love Kid Flash,” he continued, “I love the family I’ve made, & I’m absolutely in love with the invaluable lessons I’ve learnt along the way. Thank you for believing in me & rooting for Wally to thrive, you honestly helped me see that i did indeed deserve to play him, & that shit right there made me a stronger actor.”
Love you all ⚡️❤️ – Keiy x pic.twitter.com/JBdxUaKocA
