The Flash
The Flashsolo picture has been check numerous times , which has hurl doubts upon whether or not Ezra Miller will still asterisk in theDCEUfilm . Miller was first sick as Barry Allen way back in 2014 , but five years laterThe Flashstill has n’t enter production , after a very troubled development flow .
Phil Lord and Christopher Miller wrote the initial story treatment , withSeth Grahame - Smithsigning on to write and direct the movie in 2015 when they drop dead because of their busy docket . tight - forward to 2016 , however , and Grahame - Smith departed the project due to originative dispute . Rick Famuyiwa replaced him , with an oculus on filming in early-2017 , but he also swing out just a few months subsequently . Over a twelvemonth of various reports and rumors followed - name connect ranged from Robert Zemeckis to Matthew Vaughn and back to Lord & Miller again - before , in early-2018 , it was announced thatJonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley(Game Night ) had been brought in to direct .

Through all of this agitation , Ezra Miller has remained the one constant quantity on the project . The actor has already dally Barry Allen three time , with cameos inBatman v Superman : Dawn of JusticeandSuicide Squadleading to a full appearance inJustice League . Miller ’s take on the lineament has proved popular , if not exactly irreplaceable . Miller seemingly remains committed to making it happen too . TheFantastic Beastsstar retell in the beginning this year that it would still happen , and waseven reported to be rewritingThe Flashscripttoo to keep the role . They are n’t the natural process of someone who want out , but an actor who remains serious about making the film bechance .
It ’s not as loose as the actor want it to pass off though . The version of the script he was writing - aboard spat comic book writer Grant Morrison - was said to be a darker take to the more lightsome one planned by Goldstein & Daley . SinceWarner Bros. have been moving the DCEUfrom the former towards the latter post - Zack Snyder , Miller ’s efforts might not be enough to keep the spear . Miller is a microcosm of that too , since it was Snyder who take the actor to play The Flash .
There ’s also the fact that his contract bridge reportedly expired in May ( per the same story on the script rewrite ) , mean that it ’d need to be renegotiate . That ’s not insufferable , but Miller is a much bigger name now than when he first signed on , which would put extra demands on an already keep up development and a movie that , after so much prison term , could be consider a risk . If Miller and WB ca n’t harmonise on either a originative direction or a contract , then it ’s backbreaking to see how the actor will keep playing The Flash .
Working in Miller ’s favour , however , is the aforementionedFantastic Beastsfranchise . While he was a part of the first moving-picture show , sequelThe Crimes of Grindelwaldended with a huge twist that made Miller’sCredence Barebonethe absolute centrepiece of at least the next film , if not the entire saga . WB is still bet big on theHarry Potterspin - off saga , and that means they ’re going to demand to keep Miller happy . If he wants to makeThe Flashin return , then there ’s a good fortune the higher - ups will do everything possible to make it cultivate . For now , though , The Flashsolo movie remains at a base - still .
