Grant Gustin, star of the Arrowverse television show The Flash, has finally addressed the elephant in the room and answered whether we will see him in Ezra Miller’s The Flash movie.

The short answer is that it probably won’t happen and it doesn’t appear like Gustin is doing the usual spinning that actors normaly do to hide a cameo in a big superhero movie.

“There’s been a lot of rumors out there for a long time and no one’s come out directly and asked me ever on the record,” Gustin told TVLine in a new interview. “People ask me on the street all the time but no, I’m not keeping some big, elaborate secret.”

It is unfortunate because Ezra Miller appeared as The Flash on Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover event previously back in 2020, and it would have been cool to see Gustin cameo in return in the upcoming movie.

The Crisis on Infinite Earths scene saw Ezra Miller and Grant Gustin meet, which was an unprecedented move for both DC television and movies at the time.

The storyline of The Flash season nine

The official The Flash season nine synopsis reads as follows: “After defeating the Reverse Flash once and for all, the ninth season of THE FLASH picks up one week later following their epic battle, and Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) and Iris West-Allen (Candice Patton) are reconnecting and growing closer than ever before. But when a deadly group of Rogues descend on Central City led by a powerful new threat, The Flash and his team—Caitlin Snow (Danielle Panabaker), Meta-Empath Cecile Horton (Danielle Nicolet), the light-powered meta Allegra Garcia (Kayla Compton), brilliant tech-nerd Chester P. Runk (Brandon McKnight), and reformed cryogenics thief Mark Blaine (Jon Cor)—must once again defy impossible odds to save the day. But as The Rogues are defeated, a deadly new adversary rises to challenge Barry Allen’s heroic legacy. And in their greatest battle yet, Barry and Team Flash will be pushed to their limits, in order to save Central City one last time.”

The Flash season nine features several core cast members, as well as returning Arrowverse actors. Its cast includes Grant Gustin as Barry Allen, Candice Patton as Iris West-Allen, Danielle Panabaker as Frost II, Danielle Nicolet as Cecile Horton, Kayla Compton as Allegra Garcia, Brandon McKnight as Chester P. Runk and Jesse L. Martin as Joe West.

Ezra Miller’s The Flash movie opens in theaters on June 16, 2023.
