Arrowverse fans got a fresh dose of nostalgia this weekend. Melissa Benoist and Grant Gustin, who played Supergirl and The Flash, were back in the same room. The reunion fits a recent run of convention appearances that has brought the CW’s DC heroes back together.

The two stars go back a long way. In ‘Glee’, Grant Gustin played Sebastian Smythe, a member of the Warblers, and Melissa Benoist played Marley Rose, a Glee club member at McKinley High School. Years later, their superhero shows crossed over. Gustin’s Barry Allen first visited ‘Supergirl’ in an episode that aired on Monday, Mar. 28, on CBS.

Now the pair have reunited once more. Benoist and Gustin met up on Saturday, Nov. 14, at the WTTM event from Dream It Conventions in Paris, and a short clip from the weekend shows them chatting in front of the organizer’s backdrop. In the footage, posted by a Melissa Benoist fan account, the two smile and talk animatedly. Fans quickly shared it online under the message “Supergirl and The Flash back together.”

WTTM stands for Welcome to the Multiverse, a multi-fandom event scheduled for November 14 and 15 in Paris. The organizers even planned for a reunion. The ticketing page offers a “Photo Duo Super Friend” ticket featuring Grant Gustin and Melissa Benoist, where 1 ticket covers 2 people and 1 photo.

The Paris event was about more than just the 2 Arrowverse leads. The superhero-focused convention, held at CNIT Forest, covers Marvel, DC and Star Wars, with guests including Charlie Cox, Tom Welling, Kristin Kreuk, Katie McGrath, James McAvoy and Chyler Leigh.

‘Supergirl’ fans were especially well served. Melissa Benoist, Katie McGrath, Chris Wood and Nicole Maines took the stage together for a ‘Supergirl’ cast panel. Gustin had his own ‘The Flash’ panel at the event. There was also a ‘Supergirl’ group photo with Melissa Benoist, Katie McGrath, Chyler Leigh and Chris Wood.

The Paris meetup follows another recent get-together. Last month at New York Comic Con, Gustin shared the ‘Across the Arrowverse’ panel with John Wesley Shipp, who played Henry Allen and Jay Garrick on the series, and Melissa Benoist from ‘Supergirl’. During that panel, Gustin said he would love to play the Flash again.

That comment has kept the conversation going. With Gustin continuing to signal he’s ready whenever the call comes, and fans still hoping for exactly that, the Grant Gustin Flash rumor shows no signs of slowing down. Still, there has been no official confirmation regarding Gustin’s involvement in the new DCU.

Benoist has also been open to returning. As ‘Supergirl’ was wrapping up, she told Entertainment Weekly she wasn’t opposed to putting on the suit again, as long as it felt right for the character, and said she loved working with Gustin. Their best-known team-up mixed music with superheroes. The CW turned their crossover into a musical, and since both stars are ‘Glee’ alumni, it doubled as a mini reunion with ‘Glee’ favorite Darren Criss.

The timing of this reunion also stands out. When Benoist’s appearance was announced, the ‘Supergirl’ movie starring Milly Alcock was making headlines with its theatrical release, and Dream It Conventions chose to honor the television version of the Kryptonian heroine. Both shows have now ended. Benoist played Kara Danvers across 6 seasons on CBS and The CW from 2015 to 2021, and ‘The Flash’ ended on May 24, 2023.
