Robbie Amell has been receiving a praise from fans and peers about his upcoming X-Files reboot casting, as evident by his Twitter feed.

Of course this casting news, and Amell’s budding film career leaves many to believe that the will not be reprising his role as Ronnie Raymond / Firestorm in Legends of Tomorrow. Recently, Robbie spoke to Movieweb about the future of Firestorm:

"All of those [Legends Of Tomorrow] questions will be answered shortly, but I can't actually tell you anything about it. What I can tell you is I'm going back to shoot more episodes of The Flash in July."

"I haven't gotten any scripts yet, but it picks up immediately where the finale left off, because it was such a big cliffhanger... The nice thing about the finale was getting to actually play Ronnie. You saw Ronnie in my first episode, and then I was this schizophrenic, frightened man, and then I was trying to figure things out with my other half, and I finally got to kind of play Ronnie in the finale. I was enjoying that character. I'd like to play more with that, and the relationship with Danielle Panabaker's character Caitlin, but I always have so much fun shooting with Victor, so anything else Victor and I can shoot together would be great."
