WATCHMEN's Billy Crudup In Talks To Join Rick Famuyiwa's THE FLASH As Henry Allen
It looks like Warner Bros. and DC are calling in Watchmen alum Billy Crudup (Doctor Manhattan) to take on the role of Henry Allen, the Scarlet Speedster's (Ezra Miller) father, in Rick Famuyiwa's The Flash...
Rick Famuyiwa's The Flash seems to be taking shape with the recent addition of Kiersey Clemons as Iris West, and now it appears the film has found its Henry Allen in the form of Watchmen's very own Doctor Manhattan, Billy Crudup.
According to Variety, the actor is currently in talks to take on the role of Barry Allen's father, Henry Allen, in the upcoming DC movie, though there has been no word from Warner Bros. yet. For those of you unfamiliar with the character, he was wrongfully imprisoned after the murder of his wife, Nora, which promted their son Barry (The Flash) to become a forensic scientist with the goal of seeking justice for his mother and freeing his father.
