Well, thats only partially true.
VIOLETT BEANE:Honestly, I did not know too much from the beginning.
When I auditioned, I didnt know it was for Jesse Quick at all.
I definitely anticipated a suit-up last season.
I was like, Oh, its going to happen!
They really built that element of suspense.
I get tweets all the time being like, When is it going to happen?
Everyone is so excited.
Jesse has her powers now.
Is this a result of Flashpoint?
Im pretty sure it doesnt carry over to other worlds.
The Jesse and Wells youre seeing are the Jesse and Wells of last season.
The particle accelerator, the dark matter, is definitely a part of what happened to Jesse.
Youll see in a scene in the episode about how specifically she started her powers.
Yeah, the dark matter definitely had something to do with it.
How does she handle having powers?
Shes pretty excited about it.
For her, shes younger, so she has a more positive feeling toward the speed.
Also, shes really happy about it for sure.
How does Harry feel about Jesse using her powers on Earth-2 as a vigilante?
You know Harry, hes very protective.
How will Barry and Jesse work together?
Hes a great trainer.
But shes also a teenager, so sometimes shes like, OK, I got this.
I dont need you, I dont need a trainer.
But it is a good relationship between the two of them.
How is she a different hero than Barry?
You dont really know the capabilities of yourself and what you might and cant do.
At the very beginning, at least, she definitely is not really thinking before she runs into situations.
There was some flirtation between between Jesse and Wally (Keiynan Lonsdale) before.
I definitely think youll see some hints of that for sure.
The two of them are super cute together.
It makes so much sense.
I loved working with Keiynan last season.
Youll see a little bit of that carry over.
How long are they sticking around on Earth-1?
For Jesse, its a few episodes.
Jesse and Harry will maybe go back to Earth-2 to deal with the situations that are back home.
They lost a hero, so we have to go back and help our Earth again.
Thats going to be really interesting to see Harrison in all his different forms.
In the beginning of episode 3, youll see we have some new rooms in S.T.A.R.
Labs and some new situations that dont look quite right, because its a different timeline.
Harry just knows right away.
Hes like, What did I tell you, Barry?
Everyone knows you cant mess with time, but he went back and did it.
Is it a bit of a cautionary tale for Jesse?
She learns a lot while being back on this Earth, ultimately for the better.
You will see a little bit of that struggle in her.
I think it would be so, so cool.
As far as all of that, the more the merrier for me.
Is Jesse going to play a role in the upcoming four-way crossover?
And with time changing all the time, pretty much anything is possible.
But I would love to, absolutely.
Will Jesse get her own super suit?
Yeah, I think thats going to happen.
One of the promo shots is Harry and Jesse sitting there and theres a box.
Everyones like, Whats in the box?!
Its going to be really cool to see what it will be like.
Doctor Alchemy has made his presence known, and we know theres another speedster coming in Savitar.
How will Jesse cross paths with the villains this season?
What is the best part about getting to play a speedster and whats the toughest part?
Its unlike anything else.
The hardest part is definitely the running.
I realized very quickly that I was not so in shape and its pretty exhausting.
All you do is run in place, so that tells you even more.
