The Flash
Like the Caped Crusader, it’s been a journey to bring Ezra Miller’s Scarlet Speedster into cinematic existence. The Flash was first announced in 2014 alongside several planned DC Extended Universe films that mostly never happened. In February 2016, the movie was pushed to 2018 and by that point had gone through three intended directors: filmmaking duo Phil Lord & Chris Miller, Seth Graeme-Smith, and future Mandalorian director Rick Famuyiwa.
Come 2018, and briefly known as Flashpoint before being converted to The Flash, Barry Allen’s first solo movie had yet to materialize. (And yet, he managed to cross over with himself.) Now planned for a 2021 release and with other writers and directors having attached and left the film, it faced another road block thanks to Miller’s schedule with the Fantastic Beasts films. Once filming on that franchise’s third installment completed filming, and It director Andy Muschietti had been tapped to direct the movie, The Flash was now aiming to release in July 2022. Then, it was briefly moved up a month before the pandemic caused yet another delay. The Flash is now scheduled for a November 4, 2022 release…at time of writing.
