Though the film has seemed to be in a state of uncertainty, Warner Bros.' The Flash solo film is still on the horizon, according to insiders.
"Warners and DC also still have faith in Ezra Miller’s smart-ass interpretation of the Flash and are proceeding with development on a standalone film based on the character," Variety reported. The report also confirmed that Andy Muschietti, director of It and It: Chapter Two, will serve as director on The Flash.
The Flash will have Ezra Miller reprising his role as Barry Allen, who first appeared in a cameo in 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and played a much larger role in 2017's Justice League. Miller also recently confirmed that The Flash movie is still happening.
Production on The Flash is estimated to begin sometime in 2021, giving Miller time to finish production on the next Fantastic Beasts installment. There is not currently a release date for The Flash. The film is slated to be written by Christina Hodson, who wrote the screenplay for Bumblebee. Hodson also wrote the script for DC's upcoming Birds of Prey film.
Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) is the next DC film set to hit theaters. It was directed by Cathy Yan and stars Margot Robbie, Jurnee Smollett-Bell, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Rosie Perez and Ewan McGregor. Birds of Prey debuts on Feb. 7, 2020.
