The Flash is an upcoming American superhero film based on the DC Comics character of the same name. Produced by DC Films, The Disco Factory, and Double Dream, and set for distribution by Warner Bros. Pictures, it is intended to be the twelfth film in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). The film is directed by Andy Muschietti from a screenplay by Christina Hodson, and stars Ezra Miller as Barry Allen / The Flash, alongside Ben Affleck, Michael Keaton, Sasha Calle, Kiersey Clemons, Maribel Verdú, and Ron Livingston. In The Flash, Allen traverses back in time to prevent his mother's murder and deals with the consequences of it.
Development of a film for the Flash began by 2004 with multiple directors and writers attached through 2014, when it was redeveloped for the DCEU and Miller was cast as the title character. In the following years, Seth Grahame-Smith, Rick Famuyiwa, and the duo John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein were attached but left over creative differences, before Muschietti and Hodson joined in July 2019. The film is influenced by the comic book storyline Flashpoint and features several DC characters. Filming began in mid-April 2021 in London, and will occur at Leavesden Studios in Hertfordshire, England.
The Flash is scheduled to be released in the United States on November 4, 2022.
Premise
Barry Allen traverses back in time to prevent his mother's murder which brings unintentional consequences to his timeline,[1] while creating an alternate universe.[2]
Cast
- Ezra Miller as Barry Allen / The Flash:
A police forensic investigator from Central City and member of the Justice League who can move at superhuman speeds and vibrate at a molecular level, through his abilities to access the Speed Force.[3] Miller described Allen as multi-dimensional with his human flaws and humanity in his heroism.[4] Ian Loh portrays a young Barry Allen.[5] - Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne / Batman:
A wealthy socialite from Gotham City, the benefactor and leader of the Justice League, and owner of Wayne Enterprises, who became the vigilante known as Batman following his parents' murder. Director Andy Muschietti said the character is substantial in the film's emotional impact through his relationship with Barry Allen, in part because their mothers were both murdered.[6] - Michael Keaton as Bruce Wayne / Batman:
An older version of Wayne from an alternative universe which he protects.[6][7] Keaton reprises his role from Batman (1989) and Batman Returns (1992) for the first time in 30 years,[7][2] with this appearance ignoring the events of the films Batman Forever (1995) and Batman & Robin (1997).[2] - Sasha Calle as Supergirl: A powerful Kryptonian who bears similar powers, abilities and suit as Superman.[8][9]
- Kiersey Clemons as Iris West: A journalist for the Picture News and love interest of Barry Allen.[10]
- Maribel Verdú as Nora Allen: Barry's mother who was murdered in his youth, whose death her husband Henry was blamed for.[11]
- Ron Livingston as Henry Allen: Barry's father, who was wrongfully convicted for the murder of his wife. Livingston replaces Billy Crudup, who played the character in previous DCEU films.[5]
Additionally, Saoirse-Monica Jackson and Rudy Mancuso have been cast in undisclosed roles.[5]
Production
Development
Development of a film based on the DC Comics character the Flash began in the late 1980s when Warner Bros. hired comic book writer Jeph Loeb to write a screenplay, although it never materialized.[12] Warner Bros. hired David S. Goyer to write, direct, and produce The Flash in December 2004 after they were impressed with his script for Batman Begins (2005).[13][14] He approached Ryan Reynolds to portray Barry Allen / The Flash after working together on Marvel's Blade: Trinity (2004), and intended to have Wally West in a supporting role. Goyer was influenced by Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy and the Flash comic book runs by Mike Baron, Mark Waid, and Geoff Johns for the film's tone. By early February 2007, Goyer left the project, citing creative differences with the studio,[14][15] and Shawn Levy was hired to direct and oversee the writing of a new draft written by Chris Brancato, which used elements from Goyer's script.[16][17] Later that month, Warner Bros. announced the development of a Justice League film with Michelle and Kieran Mulroney writing the screenplay.[18] That September, George Miller signed on to direct the film, entitled Justice League: Mortal,[19] with Adam Brody cast as the Flash.[20] The film was envisioned to start a new franchise centered on DC Comics characters, with sequels and spin-offs planned, including the Flash film.[19]
Development of a solo Flash film continued until Levy left in October due to scheduling conflicts with Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (2009). David Dobkin took over as director and began to develop it as a spin-off to Justice League: Mortal that would have focused on Wally West.[21] Craig Wright was writing the script the next month,[22] before Justice League: Mortal was canceled and Warner Bros. assigned The Flash a 2008 release.[23] It was delayed due to the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike,[24] and by July 2009, Charles Roven joined to produce, with Geoff Johns consulting and writing a film treatment that Dan Mazeau adapted for the screenplay.[25] That October, Roven said the studio was not confident enough in their take to greenlight the film. Mazeau disputed Roven's statement and said that the film was moving forward as planned.[26] In June 2010, Green Lantern (2011) writers Greg Berlanti, Michael Green, and Marc Guggenheim were hired to pen a treatment for the film, based on a recent comics run by Johns and featured Barry Allen.[27] In July 2013, The Hollywood Reporter reported the film had a tentative release in 2016, to release between DC Films' Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) and Justice League (2017).[28]
In October 2014, Warner Bros. announced The Flash would be released on March 23, 2018 for the DC Extended Universe (DCEU), with Ezra Miller cast as Barry Allen / The Flash;[29][3] Miller appeared as the Flash with cameo appearances in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad (2016),[30][31] and starred in Justice League.[29] By April 2015, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller were writing a story treatment,[32] and Seth Grahame-Smith was in negotiations in October to direct and adapt the treatment for the script, with Roven once again serving as a producer, and Deborah and Zack Snyder set as executive producers.[33] Lord and Miller briefly considered directing the project, before working on Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018).[33] In February 2016, the film was moved forward to release on March 16, 2018,[34] while Grahame-Smith left the project in April 2016, citing creative differences, although Warner Bros. retained his script.[35] That June, Warner Bros. hired Rick Famuyiwa to take over directorial duties,[36] and Kiersey Clemons was his top choice for the female lead the next month,[37] with Rita Ora and Lucy Boynton also in the running,[38] and Clemons was cast as Iris West shortly after.[39] By then, the film was no longer set for release, after its date was given to Tomb Raider (2018).[40] In August, Ray Fisher was set to appear as Victor Stone / Cyborg in the film,[41] and Famuyiwa confirmed he would appear the next month after he completed a revision of the script.[42] Billy Crudup was also in negotiations to portray Barry's father Henry Allen by then.[43] The next month, Famuyiwa left the project, citing creative differences with the studio.[44] In January 2017, Joby Harold was hired to do a page-one rewrite of the script,[45] and turned in a new draft by May when Robert Zemeckis and Matthew Vaughn were shortlisted to direct.[46] Sam Raimi, Marc Webb, and Jordan Peele turned down offers.[47][48]
At the July 2017 San Diego Comic-Con, the film was announced with the new title Flashpoint, based on the comic book of the same title.[49] During this time, Dan Mazeau contributed to the script.[50] That September, Gal Gadot was set to reprise her role as Diana Prince / Wonder Woman,[51] and in November, Johns said the story of Thomas Wayne's Batman would be a key element in the plot;[52] Jeffrey Dean Morgan expressed interest in reprising the role from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.[53] In January 2018, the filmmaking duo John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein entered negotiations to write and direct. The studio had discussions with Ben Affleck to act as director, after Zemeckis could not free up his schedule, but Affleck passed on the opportunity.[54][55] Daley and Goldstein were confirmed as directors in March 2018,[56] and the next month, the Flashpoint concept had been dropped.[50] Filming was expected for a July 2018 start in London, with Gadot, Clemons, Crudup, and Fisher also expected to star,[57] and by August, filming was set to begin in February, in Atlanta,[58][59] for a 2020 release.[59] That October, the film was expected to have a release date in 2021,[60] while production was again delayed to December 30, 2019, in Los Angeles.[61]
In March 2019, following creative differences with Daley and Goldstein's script, Miller began working with comic book author Grant Morrison to write a new screenplay, which was said to bring a darker take to the character after Daley and Goldstein's intended light-hearted approach, to extend his holding deal for the film. It also returned to the title The Flash.[62][63] By that July, Daley and Goldstein had left the project, and Andy Muschietti and Christina Hodson entered negotiations to direct and write a new draft of the script, respectively. Barbara Muschietti additionally joined Michael Disco as the film's producers.[64] Andy Muschietti and Hodson's involvement were confirmed in November 2019, when filming was expected to begin in 2021,[65] and it was scheduled to release on July 1, 2022, a month later.[66] In January 2020, Andy Muschietti said the film would include elements from the Flashpoint comic book storyline.[67] In April, the film's release was moved forward to June 3, 2022, when Warner Bros. shifted their schedule due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[68]
Pre-production
By June 2020, Michael Keaton was in early negotiations to reprise his role as Bruce Wayne / Batman from Tim Burton's Batman (1989) and Batman Returns (1992) as an alternate universe version of Batman for the film, with filming set to begin at the start of 2021. This appearance of the character was set to ignore his iterations in the Joel Schumacher Batman films Batman Forever (1995) and Batman & Robin (1997), which Keaton did not star in.[2] Also that month, Fisher had discussed with Andy Muschietti regarding his supporting role as Cyborg in the film, before Warner Bros. set Fisher to perform a two-week shot that was referred to as a "cameo". Fisher said the studio only offered to pay him a fraction of his traditional salary for reprising the role.[69] Fisher was approached for this "cameo appearance" along with other actors playing Justice League members in the DCEU.[70][71] In August, Keaton was confirmed to star, along with Ben Affleck reprising his version of Bruce Wayne / Batman from the DCEU. Affleck chose to return as he would not have to lead the entire film.[6]
During the virtual DC FanDome event "Explore the Multiverse" in September 2020, Barbara Muschietti said the film would feature many characters from the DC Universe with the Flash serving as "the bridge between all of these characters and timelines" that are featured in it, which would be used to restart the continuity of the DCEU without disregarding what came prior.[72] In October, Crudup entered early negotiations to rejoin the project under a new deal, having left during shifts in the writers and directors, while Clemons' involvement was uncertain,[1] and it was pushed back to release on November 4, 2022, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[73] By then, filming was set to begin in March 2021 in London.[71][1] By January 2021, Warner Bros. had Cyborg written out of the film after Fisher refused to work on any project involving DC Films president Walter Hamada, citing his involvement in Justice League's replacement director Joss Whedon's on-set behavior.[74][69] The role was not expected to be recast.[74] Also that month, Andy and Barbara Muschietti had arrived in the United Kingdom to prepare for production,[75] with filming at Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden in Hertfordshire, England set to begin in April, after Miller completed his work on the third Fantastic Beasts film (2022), also in the United Kingdom.[75][76] In February, construction for the sets at Leavesden Studios had begun,[77][76] and Sasha Calle was cast to portray Supergirl.[8][9] Crudup was set to return as Henry Allen by then.[9]
In March 2021, Clemons signed on to return as Iris West, after her role was cut from Justice League,[10] and Maribel Verdú was cast to portray Barry's mother Nora Allen,[11] although Crudup was forced to drop out due to scheduling conflicts with his series The Morning Show, with the role set to be recast.[11] By the end of the month, Keaton said he had not yet read an iteration of the script he received and would have to read the latest draft before deciding if he could commit to the film. He also cited the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom as a concern for his involvement and balancing his other commitments.[78] Shortly after, Ron Livingston was cast to replace Crudup as Henry Allen, with Ian Loh cast as a young Barry Allen, and Saoirse-Monica Jackson and Rudy Mancuso joining in undisclosed roles.[5] Keaton was later reaffirmed to star in the film.[7] Ahead of the start of filming, the Muschiettis formed their production company Double Dream to co-produce the film, with Marianne Jenkins revealed as an executive producer.[79] By then, Fisher said he and Andy Muschietti "were on the same page" about their approach to superhero stories, and noted it would be "a bummer" if the situation surrounding his involvement was not resolved,[80] and that he would return to the role of Cyborg for the film if Warner Bros. and Hamada released an apology.[81]
Filming
Principal photography began on April 19, 2021 in London,[82][7] with Henry Braham serving as cinematographer.[83] Shooting is expected to occur at Warner Bros Studios, Leavesden on April 26.[76][77]
Post-production
John "DJ" Desjardin serves as the visual supervisor for the film, after previously doing so for the DCEU films Man of Steel (2013), Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Justice League, and Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021).[84]
Music
Benjamin Wallfisch is set to compose the film's score by April 2021, after previously doing so for Andy Muschietti's films It (2017) and It Chapter Two (2019), and DC's Shazam! (2019).[85]
Release
The Flash is scheduled to be released by Warner Bros. Pictures in the United States on November 4, 2022.[73] The film initially had a tentative release for 2016,[28] before it was set for release on March 23, 2018,[29] which moved to March 16, 2018,[34] and was then replaced with Tomb Raider.[40] The film was expected to release in 2020 and 2021 after that,[59][60] and was slated for release on July 1, 2022 after the hiring of Andy Muschietti.[66] It was then moved up to June 3, 2022,[68] before it was delayed to the November 2022 date after Warner Bros. shifted its schedule due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[73]
