Though it may seem hard to believe given how much time has passed and the recent rebooting of Warner Bros.' shared DC Comics-based world with the dawn of the DCU, a lot of fans are still hoping to see the "SnyderVerse" restored in some form.
While we may eventually see a comic book sequel to Zack Snyder's Justice League, the chances of the divisive filmmaker getting the opportunity to revisit his characters in live-action are very slim - and we don't even know if he'd be interested in doing so at this point.
Though there are alternate timelines involved, The Flash is technically set in the universe established in Snyder's films, and director Andy Muschietti has now confirmed that his movie is respectful of what came before.
"I would love Zack to watch this movie," he tells CinemaBlend. "I think we honored the part of the movie that he created in terms of characters and characterizations. And cast. So, I think he would enjoy it.
There have been several press and fan screenings of The Flash, but the version that's set to race into theaters later this month is said to feature a completely different ending and at least one new post-credits scene.
"So, if you see the movie on [June] 16 or after, you'll notice that there's a couple surprises there that we wanted to leave for the release of the movie to avoid any possible leaks and stuff. So, there's a couple more surprises there," Muschietti confirmed in a separate interview with Collider.
We already shared some details on what one of the stingers is believed to focus on, but new reports have indicated that this info is not accurate, so we'll just have to wait and see what the movie has in store.
"Directed by Andy Muschietti, The Flash features Barry Allen traveling back in time in order to change events of the past. But when his attempt to save his family inadvertently alters the future, Barry becomes trapped in a reality in which General Zod has returned, threatening annihilation, and there are no Super Heroes to help. That is, unless Barry can coax a very different Batman out of retirement and rescue an imprisoned Kryptonian…albeit not the one he’s looking for.
Ultimately, to save the world that he is in and return to the future that he knows, Barry’s only hope is to race for his life. But will making the ultimate sacrifice be enough to reset the universe?"
The Flash is produced by Barbara Muschietti and Michael Disco, with a screenplay by Christina Hodson, and a screen story by John Francis Daley & Jonathan Goldstein and Joby Harold, based on characters from DC. Warner Bros. Pictures presents a Double Dream/a Disco Factory production of an Andy Muschietti film.
