‘The Flash’ Sequel Script Was Already Written Before The New Regime
‘The Flash’ went through a turbulent journey before it was able to get released in theaters for the audience. It is the first big project after the recently tanked ‘Shazam! The Fury of Gods.’ After many miniseries and appearances in other DCEU films, Barry Allen will be getting his own standalone film. The pressure is high because $330 million is riding on the film.
When Warner Bros. and Discovery merged, David Zaslav wanted secondary characters to be brought to the forefront. He also wanted other mainstream superheroes, like Superman, to have more films. But the new regime has taken many tough decisions to chalk up the five-year plan for the DCEU.
Now, ‘The Flash’ will serve as a bridge for the new regime. It will star Ezra Miller, who has gone through a tumultuous and problematic legal journey. As far as new characters are concerned, Sasha Calle’s Supergirl will be featured in the film. Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton will be back as Batman in the film. As per Variety, David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick had written a script for the sequel to the film before the controversies and the new regime.

Ezra Miller has been in the news for a long time for all the wrong reasons! They have been accused of some serious crimes, including grooming a young transgender person. It all started in 2020, when he choked a woman in a bar in Iceland, and it continued until 2022. Ezra has been accused of harassment, disorderly conduct, trespassing, a felony, and abuse. Despite all these allegations and crimes, Warner Bros. and Discovery decided to cast Miller in the film.
Now, director Andy Muschietti has reverberated that he wants Ezra Miller to play the Scarlet Speedster in the sequel. During an interview with Variety, he said, “If [a sequel] happens, yes. I don’t think there’s anyone that can play that character as well as they did.”
Andy continued, “The other depictions of the character are great, but this particular vision of the character, they just excelled in doing it. And, as you said, the two Barrys — it feels like a character that was made for them.”
