The Flash actors Grant Gustin ( who plays Barry) and Danielle Panabaker ( who plays Caitlin Snow) teased to TV Line about the Speed God's identity, and when his identity will be revealed. Panabaker had this to say regarding Savitar's identity:" Slowly, different characters are going to learn who Savitar is, but I don't know if the audience is going to be told anytime soon."

Meanwhile, Gustin shared some very difficult clues for the fans. He told the outlet, "It's not the same as past reveals. With Zoom and Reverse-Flash, the audience was starting to realize things before we all started to piece it together. But I don't know how you would know this year. And when you do find out, it's like, 'Oh. My. God!' There are really no secrets or hints leading up to it."
