Billy Crudup, known
for playing one of the bluest men in comic books, is in talks to join Ezra
Miller’s The Flash. For a second time.
Listen, it’s been a rough project.
According to the
Hollywood Reporter, Crudup is in “early negotiations” to join the
project, based on the version of the DC superhero first introduced in 2017 (and
also 2021)‘s Justice League. Crudup, who
previously played Barry Allen’s dad in Justice
League, was previously attached to the project when it was being
directed by Rick Famuyiwa. However, when Famuyiwa and… a whole other set of
directors left the project, he did also.
Now, suddenly, the
movie seems to be getting back on track, with both Ben Affleck and Michael
Keaton attached, and Crudup might be back in play. And it’s not too surprising,
as the current script reportedly features Barry going back in time to save his
mother from dying, a turn of events that will presumably have quite an impact
on his dear ol’ dad.
The project has no
firmly set release date, but barring some time travel, it’s probably not going
to be for a while.
