Iris is a personality who in comics is a white character. The CW series is on the air for five years; it enters its 6th season this loss. Patton is a significant player for all of them, the still comments continue. Now, Grant Gustin is speaking up against those racist trolls, making it very clear finally that he stands with Patton.

” Our Iris is an African-American actress. She is black. She is attractive as well as she is our Iris and also she always is gonna be,” Grant Gustin said. “Always has and also always will certainly be. She is Barry’s endgame, and also Candice Patton plays her. As well as she will continue to play her, and also I have her back as well as will have her back. I’m sorry if that hasn’t been explained, but that’s the case, and it always will be, so that’s it.”

 

Grant Gustin Prepared To Speak Out More

Even though Gustin has made it rather clear how he feels about his co-star, defending Patton in the video isn’t reasonably adequate. Grant Gustin has made it clear in the talk about an additional message that he will be much more cautious concerning speaking up against things. The Flash returns this autumn on The CW.
