THE FLASH Director Weighs in on a Possible Sequel with DC Studios
Warner Bros. recently premiered DC Studios’ The Flash at CinemaCon and it seemed like almost everyone in attendance loved that movie. I was expecting it to be fun and entertaining, but I was not expecting it to be as great as it was. That movie had me and a ton of other fans in tears by the end of the film because of how epically emotional it was. You can watch our reaction video here.
This movie is going to be a hit with DC fans and audiences, and it’s going to make a ton of money at the box office. The big question is… will there be a sequel? Does the film actually fit in with what James Gunn and Peter Safran are planning for DC Studios? Director Andy Muschietti recently weighed in on this question after the screening, telling CB:
"We didn't talk about it. I think that we're all waiting to see how this movie does. Of course, there's excitement about continuing the story, especially if this movie's successful. Of course, there's an architecture in DC that is brewing, and it's being created. And the question is, will this new architecture absorb this story? The good thing about the multiverse is that it is possible. The multiverse allows all of this different worlds to coexist and interact. And so hopefully, yes. We don't know yet. That's the truth."
It’s going to be interesting to see what happens with this film, and if it does get a sequel, it will be interesting to see what that story will be because it’s hard to think that it could be any better than what this first one gives us. You just can’t replicate the awesomeness of what’s in this movie. You can watch the latest trailer for the movie here.
Then there’s the whole thing about what will happen with Ezra Miller. As you know Miller, went off the rails and did a lot of terrible things. The actor gave an amazing performance as Barry Allen in this movie, but will WB invite him back for any future films after what he’s done? They are considering it.
In the 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 movie also stars Michael Keaton, who is back as Batman, Ben Affleck as Batman, and Michael Shannon as Zod, with Ron Livingston and Maribel Verdú, who are playing Barry’s parents. Saoirse-Monica Jackson (Derry Girls) and internet personality Rudy Mancuso will also appear.
The Flash will be released on June 16th, 2023.
