Fans of the DC Universe can breathe a sigh of relief as the early reactions to The Flash have been overwhelmingly positive. The highly-anticipated comic book movie starring Ezra Miller was screened at CinemaCon and the audience response has been nothing short of amazing.
Based on the reactions from CinemaCon, DC Universe fans can rest assured that The Flash was worth the wait. The early reactions to The Flash have praised Ezra Miller’s performance as well as the movie’s ability to balance humor and heart.
The Flash is set to be a time-traveling adventure that will see Ezra Miller’s Barry Allen team up with several other DC Comics icons like Batman and Supergirl. The movie is also introducing audiences to a new multiverse within the DC Universe.
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.
