The latest TV spot for the highly-anticipated DC Universe movie The Flash shows Kiersey Clemons once again stepping into the shoes of Iris West. The talented young actress is set to make a triumphant return to the DC Universe with The Flash, which is hitting theaters in a few weeks.
Kiersey Clemons was initially missing from the original theatrical release of Justice League, leading to confusion and disappointment among fans who expected to see her as Iris West. However, Zack Snyder’s Justice League cut brought Iris back into the story, a decision that was met with widespread approval. You can see her in The Flash thanks to the TV spot below.
Created by Robert Kanigher and Carmine Infantino, Iris West is a prominent character in the DC Comics universe, best known for her association with Barry Allen, a.k.a. The Flash. She is portrayed as a fearless and determined journalist, often uncovering truths that others fail to see. Iris is also Allen’s primary love interest, providing an emotional grounding for the Justice League hero.
In The Flash, Barry Allen travels back in time to save his mother, which creates an alternate timeline known as the Flashpoint Paradox. This decision has serious consequences for Barry and the rest of the world, as he must navigate this new reality while also facing off against villains like General Zod from Man of Steel.
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.
