"The fact that I'm now getting to morph into an entirely different character that is so important to the Justice Society of America, which also bleeds into 'Legends of Tomorrow,' he's such an important character to this whole world - it just opens up enormous possibilities for me as an actor going forward," Shipp told Variety.

So does this mean that John Wesley Shipp could make an appearance in "Legends of Tomorrow" as Earth-3 Jay Garrick? Shipp appeared to be speaking about "The Flash" Season 3 and how Barry Allen feels about Jay Garrick looking a lot like Henry Allen.
"The challenge for me, having played Henry, is that I now get to create an entirely different character going forward and how that affects Barry - because Barry's going to want to lean on this guy who looks just like his father but is not his father - that can create a whole bunch of psychological conflict too," Shipp continued, adding that he is looking forward to what will happen next in "The Flash" Season 3.
