The Flash hits theaters in just around a month. As time ticks down to its release, a new international TV spot teases the possibilities of time travel.
The Flash serves as a loose adaptation of Flashpoint, which sees Barry Allen travel back in time to save his mother and, in the process, shattering the universe as he knows it. The latestTV spot for the DC Universe film teases a new conversation with Ben Affleck’s Bruce Wayne where Barry explains everything he could do with time travel. However, the consequences of his actions soon become clear with the arrival of Michael Keaton’s Batman. The full spot can be seen below:
International TV spots for The Flash always seem to reveal something new. While this one focuses on time travel, the Japanese TV spot showed off Barry Allen interacting with fans, while also potentially spoiling the film’s biggest twist. The scale of the movie seems to rival that of Justice League, with a budget almost to match. Yet despite the overwhelming hype for the project, Ezra Miller’s future in the DCU remains uncelar.
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.
