‘The Flash’ Spoilers: Kim Engelbrecht Talks Season 4 Role As The Mechanic

Although Kim Engelbrecht’s The Mechanic is the devoted assistant to “The Flash” Season 4 big bad The Thinker, the actress said that her character isn’t entirely evil.

“I know she’s not a good girl, but I think there are certain positive qualities about her,” Engelbrecht told Channel 24 of her role in the upcoming season of the CW series. “There’s a running kind of feel with the show where there’s good versus evil, and maybe she’s got a little bit of good in her.”

Described as an extremely intelligent engineer, The Mechanic designs devices for The Thinker (Neil Sandilands), aka Clifford DeVoe. “In Season 4, the fastest man alive (Grant Gustin) is being pitted up against the fastest mind alive. My character is the engineer to The Thinker. So whatever he thinks up she then builds,” Engelbrecht said.

While South African actress Engelbrecht has already done a couple of TV series outside of her birth country before, the 37-year-old thespian admitted that she’s actually nervous to see how her character would be received by the American and other international viewers.

“I don't know how I will be received. I hope that they like my character, but I will just take it as it comes,” Engelbrecht told Times LIVE. “I am coming into a show that is the biggest on its network and is already on its fourth season. It has a huge fan base and that comes with a huge amount of pressure. I understand that it is a big show. That it is a big deal (for South Africa) [so] I just really want to do well.”

When asked what has been the most challenging part about playing The Mechanic, the “Dominion” alum said: “Jetlag. I work in Canada so I leave again on Saturday and then I film the next episode. [But the] most difficult I think is just me realizing the magnitude of the show and just being comfortable with myself and doing a really good job. But there’s no real hurdles, it’s been really exciting and just a complete blessing.”

“The Flash” Season 4, episode 1 airs on Tuesday, Oct. 10 at 8 p.m. EDT on The CW.
