THE FLASH Is Still Happening But Don't Expect It To Start Shooting Until At Least 2019 Says Kiersey Clemons

While there were reports that Kiersey Clemons would be recast for Flashpoint The Flash, the actress has now confirmed that the movie is happening...she just doesn't know exactly when that will be...

The Flash has been through its fair share of directors but John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein are currently hard at work on the screenplay and hoping to make it a reality at some point in the near future (unless they also run into creative differences). We've had a number of conflicting updates on where things stand with the DC Comics adaptation and now Kiersey Clemons has weighed in on that. 

Asked specifically if the movie is on hold, she replied: "Yes. What I will say is that [Warner Bros. gets] to approve every job that I do and, so far, I'm not doing Flash for the rest of the year, we know that. I'm doing other things. But let's hope for 2019." So, nothing is set in stone as of right now and it doesn't sound like the studio is rushing to start production, news which is bound to disappoint fans.

It's previously been reported that The Flash will no longer
adapt the "Flashpoint" storyline from the comic books and will instead be a more straightforward action-adventure. Nothing has been made official at this point, though, and it appears as if not even the cast are sure what's happening now.

I think that's something we all figured. There hasn't been many castings for this so a start date in 2018 was always farfetched.

Do we have confirmation that a script is made?

Before anyone shits on the DCEU for its release schedule, you must realize that they aren't Marvel Studios. Marvel can manage a cinematic universe BECAUSE they're a studio dedicated to making Marvel movies and only Marvel movies. WB isn't dedicated to making only DC movies.

The foundation of Marvel Studios' success isn't "Kevin Feige is God" or caring about the characters and fans. The foundation of Marvel Studios' success is its own existence. And as long as there is no dedication to a DC cinematic universe, this shit will keep happening.

@Brave - We shit on WB for not creating a dedicated DC Studio and on DC for, seemingly, not fighting hard enough to have one.

@Brave - You are 1,000% correct in everything you said here, and I agree 10,000%.


Except...


Kevin Feige is NOT God.





He's the ALL FATHER.

@Brave
Marvel Studios spoiled everybody to the point they can't figure out this stuff on their own and still question movies like the Joker.
^ This is the answer people.

@LongMayHeReign - If I ever meet Feige you bet the first thing I'm saying to him is:

"My humble personage... bows before your grandeur. No other being has ever had the might... nay, the nobility... to produce not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, but six one billion dollar-plus grossing superhero movies."

@Brave - DC should have and could have had one years and years earlier.

Discrediting Feige for realizing this and doing it himself is pretty... not well thought out.

If anything, I only care about Flash and Constantine when it comes to DC, so I'm happy to hear they're taking their time, because we've seen what happens when they don't, like, how many times now?

Only have any interest in this is because The Directors of Game Night are involved, a fun film and it kept my interest.

Ezra's Barry was hard for me to watch, was unsure about him from the first trailer.

Pretty obvious they're waiting on Aquaman to figure out how to proceed with any concrete steps

@OmegaDaGrodd - Or maybe just waiting for its release before announcing anything too drastic. The Joker movie will probably be a weird tangent no matter what, but Shazam looks completely standalone, and Wonder Woman is stuck in the past, so if they're going to announce a series of films with a clean break from the Snyderverse, late 2018 is the time to do it.

Robbie and Gadot get to play out their contracts in standalone material while the rebooted Batman serves as an introduction to the new canon (and Shazam gets retroactively nudged into whichever continuity makes more sense). Maybe Birds of Prey, too, or who knows.

@Spock0Clock - They can't do a clean break from the "Snyderverse". Doing so means a hard reboot, and a full recast, and while it's not making billions, the DC Films Cinematic Universe has too many fans to do that. They're also too far in.

Also, they're not going to announce anything that's not in production. That's what got them into trouble in 2013 and 2017. They have learned never to do something so foolish again.

@Spock0Clock - Good point. Come to think of it, they have been almost completely silent on any concrete plans beyond Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Shazam and Joker to a lesser degree. Of course, not having an actual mouthpiece or PR point person probably helps them avoid constantly putting their feet in their mouths

Not particularly excited for this movie. Wasn't a big fan of Ezra's portrayal of Flash, he played it way too goofy + jittery. I'll be keeping my expectations really low.

Ezra was the worst bloody choice for Barry. Even if it was just Zack being Zack, he specifically picked up the phone and called Ezra for the role. Like, as if Ezra was somehow perfect for it, and everyone else at WB agreed with him. Just HOW.
