According to One Take News, The Flash has been rated PG-13 for “sequences of violence and action, some strong language, and partial nudity.” While the violence and strong language are par for the course when it comes to superhero movies, the partial nudity is certainly unexpected, particularly in a film with a PG-13 rating.
The Flash is set to have its world premiere at CinemaCon on April 25th, where fans and industry insiders will get their first look at the latest DC Universe film. The Ezra Miller starrer will then be released widely on June 16th.
Featuring Ezra Miller as Barry Allen, The Flash is the first cinematic solo outing for the DC Comics hero of the same name. The movie marks Miller’s fifth turn as The Flash, following the actor’s appearances in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad, Justice League and the Peacemaker series on HBO Max.
The Flash’s DC Universe future
Warner Bros. Discovery already has a script for a potential sequel to The Flash, written by David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick, the man behind the two Aquaman movies starring Jason Momoa. However, James Gunn and Peter Safran did not discuss the Flash sequel during their DC Universe presentation.
Directed by Andy Muschietti from a script written by Birds of Prey scribe Christina Hodson, The Flash is inspired by the Flashpoint comic book storyline, which followed Barry Allen as he navigated an altered DC Universe. Written by Geoff Johns and penciled by Andy Kuber, Flashpoint radically altered the status of the DC Comics universe and led to the launch of the New 52 titles.
In addition to Ezra Miller, The Flash also features Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck as two separate versions of Batman, Ron Livingston as Henry Allen, Maribel Verdú as Nora Allen, Kiersey Clemons as Iris West, Michael Shannon as General Zod, Antje Traue as Faora-Ul and Sasha Calle as Supergirl. Saoirse-Monica Jackson, Rudy Mancuso and Luke Brandon Field are also on board in undisclosed roles.
