A new set photo of The flash movie teases DC hero’s upgraded suit. Directed by Andy Muschietti and based on the popular comic book character of the same name, the film will serve as Barry Allen’s first solo project within the DC Extended Universe and the thirteenth entry in the media franchise overall. After significant delays due to multiple crew changes, the COVID-19 pandemic and post-production concerns, the expected release date has been pushed from as early as 2018 to June 23, 2023. Inspired in part by the flash point The film follows the unintended change of Allen’s timeline as he travels back in time to prevent his mother’s murder.
Ezra Miller plays the role of Barry Allen, first introduced to the DCEU in 2016 Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, with Ron Livingston, Michael Keaton, Kiersey Clemons, Michael Shannon, Antje Traue, and Sasha Calle rounding out the film’s cast. The controversy surrounding Miller began to affect the project earlier this year, with Warner Bros. Discovery considered several release options, as well as a possible recast for future films. However, there is still some excitement among fans, particularly those interested in the SnyderVerse character sequel, and positive response to test screenings and previous images of The Flash’s costume contributed to a sense of optimism.
utilities, Barbara Muschiettia producer on The flash movie, teases the superhero’s new suit in a recent Instagram post. The photo, which includes a close-up of her brother Andy, shows a blurry and out-of-focus look at the enhanced costume that will be featured in the film.
What The Flash’s DCEU Future Could Hold
In addition to retaining a sense of anticipation among some fans, Miller issued a public apology in August, prompting Warner Bros. Discovery focused on the film’s theatrical debut, although there’s no guarantee that star Barry Allen will continue to star in future projects. The flash was also reportedly intended to serve as a reset for the entire DCEU, with the intent that it would pack in everything left behind by the SnyderVerse and allow the brand to build out its shared universe. Of The flash no longer sitting at the end of the studio’s release list, whether Miller will reprise their role after this film or DC Films decides to steer the character’s story in a different direction remains unknown.
Considering the amount of money spent making The flash, it will be interesting to see how the film performs at the box office and if fan support changes at all in the time leading up to release. With so much discussion about the production and the re-shoots, the audience probably wants to know what everything looks like. Those who would like to see the upgraded suit in The flash can be sure to see it when it hits theaters next year.
