Fans looking forward toTheFlashgot some big updates aboutEzra Miller’s forthcoming solo DCEU movie on Saturday during the DC FanDome virtual event. Earlier in the week, it was revealedbothMichael KeatonandBen Affleckwould be reprisingtheir respective versions of Batman inThe Flash. The return of these two Bruce Waynes strongly teased the likelihoodThe Flashwould be the movie to tackle to the concept of the multiverse — and now we have the confirmation it definitely will.
The Flashpanel lasted only 10 minutes during Saturday’s DC FanDome event, but it was packed to the rafters with fun teases about the long-in-development DCEU movie which now finally seems ready to move forward. Toward the end of the panel, Miller andThe FlashscreenwriterChristina Hodsonboth spoke vaguely about the plot of the movie and what we might expect to see. Miller kicked things off, sharing, “This movie, by opening that door thatFlashpointdid in the comics, all of these stories and characters can start to collide.”
Then, Hodson went on to say that “the cinematic multiverse is going to be born out of this movie, it’s born of out Barry’s story,” with Miller then adding, “It blows our minds, the levels of possibility that exist within the context of this character and this story.”
Both Hodson and Miller’s comments seemingly confirming the multiverse will be at the center ofThe Flash’s plot echo earlier comments made by the movie’s director,Andy Muschietti. In an interview withVanity Fair, Muschietti spoke about Keaton and Affleck’s respective Batman returns, going on to share:
“This movie is a bit of a hinge in the sense that it presents a story that implies a unified universe where all the cinematic iterations that we’ve seen before are valid. It’s inclusive in the sense that it is saying all that you’ve seen exists, and everything that you will see exists, in the same unified multiverse.”
Big things are definitely coming our way, courtesy ofThe Flash. After spending so many years in development hell, it’s exciting to see what direction this movie is planning to take and who is coming on board to help bring this story to life.
The Flashis scheduled for release on August 04, 2025. For more, check out thenewest trailer forWonder Woman 1984, also revealed at DC FanDome on Saturday.
