DC has been releasing some interesting stuff online lately, and now some of its most anticipated movies are on the way, but as their schedules change drastically due to management decisions that fans don’t understand, news keeps coming out.
And it is that, the various movies and television programs based on DC Comics They’ve had a whirlwind this week, and a lot of these updates are about the potential future (or lack thereof) of some of their projects, and this all started on Monday with the confirmation that Flash will end with its upcoming ninth season on The CW, which will stream online starting in 2023.
This final season will probably serve as the end of a chapter for the arrowversebut there has also been the question of whether and how it will factor into the larger DC multiverse, as one question in particular has arisen, considering the timing of things: could the final season of The Flash fit squarely into the next? The Flash movie?
Since the two current live-action versions of The Flash have been teamed up almost since the beginning: the pilot for the series, starring Grant Gustinwas released just a few days before it was publicly announced that Ezra Miller would play an alternate version on the big screen, but for years, fans had considered the possibility of Gustin and Miller crossing paths in some way, and they got their wish completely by surprise in early 2020, when Miller made a secret cameo in the crossover “Crisis on Infinite Earths” from The CW.
In the weeks that followed that episode, it was learned that the Warner Bros. had requested that Miller’s cameo be included, and that the writer of the film The Flash, Christina Hodsonhe had “planned” it when writing the movie:
“I got a phone call from [el jefe de Warner Bros.] Peter Roth saying, ‘I know you’re on lockdown, but can you put Ezra in the crossover? And I said, ‘Yes’. And he said, ‘What, are you involved in the series? And you’re involved in the crossover. And I said, ‘Yeah, I know, but if you tell me Ezra Miller can be in the crossover, I can make it happen.’ Of course, because it would be a big surprise if he suddenly saw that on TV.”Hodson said in early 2020.
Since then, The Flash movie has completed production and moved release dates several more times, until currently aiming for a June 23, 2023 debut, but rumors have also circulated that Gustin could make a cameo appearance in the film. , especially since the project has been confirmed to be dealing with the multiverse.
