Though Ezra Miller has had drama, allegations, and tons of scandals wrapped around his career, WB and DC have pushed forward with the completion of The Flash, and in this second trailer, I think we can see why. After taking over DC as Co-chairman and Co-CEO, James Gunn did a lot of moving around and canceling but one thing he did state is how he felt about Andy Muschietti’s Flash film…
“Can I say one more thing? The Flash is fucking amazing. Like it’s one of the best superhero movies I’ve ever seen. [Director] Andy Muschietti did an amazing job.” -James Gunn
With that, we have been holding back our expectations for the movie, but after this trailer, I have to say I can’t wait to see it. Seeing the likes of Michael Shannon (General Zod), Michael Keaton (Classic Batman), Ben Affleck (Sinder Batman), Temuera Morrison
(Tom Curry), and more all sharing the screen with Ezra Miller (Barry Allen), Kiersey Clemons (Iris West), and Sasha Calle (Supergirl) is just wild!
Though we have seen a ton of multiverse films in the last few years, DC has yet to dive into this setting in their live-action films. Though we almost got to see a multiverse film with the canceled BatGirl film, it seems that film will never see the light of day. With James Gunn’s new film plan for DC, The Flash is said to set up the new layout for the DCU and it is looking to be the best lineup for DC yet.
With that, I have been yammering on about how excited I am for this film, how about I shut up and you watch the trailer now?! The Flash releases June 16th!
Warner Bros. Pictures presents “The Flash,” directed by Andy Muschietti (the “IT” films, “Mama”). Ezra Miller reprises their role as Barry Allen in the DC Super Hero’s first-ever standalone feature film.
Worlds collide in “The Flash” when Barry uses his superpowers to travel back in time in order to change the events of the past. But when his attempt to save his family inadvertently alters the future, Barry becomes trapped in a reality in which General Zod has returned, threatening annihilation, and there are no Super Heroes to turn to. That is, unless Barry can coax a very different Batman out of retirement and rescue an imprisoned Kryptonian… albeit not the one he’s looking for. Ultimately, to save the world that he is in and return to the future that he knows, Barry’s only hope is to race for his life. But will making the ultimate sacrifice be enough to reset the universe?
“The Flash” ensemble also includes rising star Sasha Calle, Michael Shannon (“Bullet Train,” “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice”), Ron Livingston (“Loudermilk,” “The Conjuring”), Maribel Verdú (“Elite,” “Y tu mamá también”), Kiersey Clemons (“Zack Snyder’s Justice League,” “Sweetheart”), Antje Traue (“King of Ravens,” “Man of Steel”) and Michael Keaton (“Spider-Man: Homecoming,” “Batman”).
“The Flash” is produced by Barbara Muschietti (the “IT” films, “Mama”) and Michael Disco (“Rampage,” “San Andreas”). The screenplay is by Christina Hodson (“Birds of Prey,” “Bumblebee”), with a screen story by John Francis Daley & Jonathan Goldstein (“Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves,” “Spider-Man: Homecoming”) and Joby Harold (“Transformers: Rise of the Beasts,” “Army of the Dead”), based on characters from DC. The executive producers are Toby Emmerich, Walter Hamada, Galen Vaisman and Marianne Jenkins.
Joining director Muschietti behind the camera are director of photography Henry Braham (“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” “The Suicide Squad”), production designer Paul Denham Austerberry (“IT Chapter Two,” “The Shape of Water”), editors Jason Ballantine (the “IT” films, “The Great Gatsby”) and Paul Machliss (“The Gentlemen,” “Baby Driver”), and costume designer Alexandra Byrne (“Doctor Strange,” “Guardians of the Galaxy”); the score is by Benjamin Wallfisch (“The Invisible Man,” the “IT” films).
Warner Bros. Pictures presents a Double Dream/a Disco Factory production of an Andy Muschietti film, “The Flash.” It will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures and is set to open in theaters in North America on June 16, 2023 and internationally beginning 14 June 2023.
