Five years ago, Warner Bros. and DC made a monumental error in judgment and announced a highly ambitious slate of superhero films that would constitute the DCEU. This proposed slate included films that eventually were made, such as “Justice League,” “Suicide Squad,” “Wonder Woman,” “Shazam!” and “Aquaman.” But then you have films like “Justice League Part 2,” “Green Lantern,” “Cyborg,” and “The Flash,” which never released. And the one with the most drama surrounding it has been Ezra Miller’s “The Flash.”
After a revolving door of directors coming and going, including Phil Lord & Chris Miller, Seth Graeme-Smith, Rick Famuyiwa, and John Francis Daley & Jonathan Goldstein, it appears that “The Flash” has settled on Andy Muschietti to lead the way. And according to a new interview with Ezra Miller, who has been waiting this whole time for his moment in the spotlight, even though it doesn’t seem like it’s ever going to happen, “The Flash” is still “absolutely confirmed.”
“Well, I’ll tell you the ones that I can tell you about because they’re absolutely confirmed. [They] are ‘Fantastic Beasts 3’ [and] ‘The Flash’ movie,” said Miller.
Through all the ups and downs (of which there have been many), Miller has consistently been the biggest cheerleader for “The Flash.” Clearly, the actor isn’t willing to let go of the character of Barry Allen, the fastest man alive, anytime soon. And as far as fans go, most were delighted by his portrayal in “Justice League” (one of the few bright spots) and are interested in seeing where the character goes in the future.
As of now, however, even with Miller reiterating its existence and a new director attached, it’s hard to put faith in anything ‘Flash’ related until cameras start rolling. And for now, that appears to be pretty far off.
