Fans of the CW's The Flash will not have a long wait before Savitar's identity is revealed, and according to its lead actor Gustin Grant, the big reveal might take some viewers by shock.

"It's actually not the same as past reveals in other seasons, where the audience kind of starts to have a feeling first," Grant told TVLine. "It's more of a jarring reveal, and it happens kind of suddenly for everyone at the same time."

For months now The Flash fans have been hitting discussion forums with various theories on who Savitar could be, with many believing it's a future version of Flash himself. But last week's episode showed Killer Frost readily accepting to join hands with Savitar and this had many wondering if the man behind the armour could be Ronnie, Caitlin's husband.

Whoever is behind the mask, the big reveal is going to change the course of the show, executive producer Aaron Helbing told Entertainment Weekly in an earlier interview. "It impacts everybody and makes them question everything that they've known for the past three seasons," Helbing said, adding that the final showdown is "going to be incredibly emotional and epic at the same time — not epic in a grand scale, but epic in how it impacts everybody."

The synopsis for Season 3 episode 20 I Know Who You Are reads:

Barry and the team meet Tracy Brand, a scientist who may be the key to stopping Savitar. Unfortunately, Killer Frost is also after Tracy, so Team Flash must battle their old friend, which proves to be particularly difficult for Cisco. Meanwhile, Joe and Cecile's relationship takes a big turn.

The Flash airs Tuesdays on the CW.
