THE FLASH Is Undergoing Yet Another Rewrite From The Writers Of SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING
John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein have been attached to The Flash for a year now but it appears as if the Scarlet Speedster is going nowhere fast, because the movie is undergoing another rewrite...
Ezra Miller recently revealed that The Flash movie will feature "a speedster multiverse," and he was presumably referring to yet another version of the screenplay that has been worked on by Warner Bros. for what feels like forever.
Originally, Seth Grahame-Smith was on board to write and direct the project but he parted ways with the studio over creative differences. Rick Famuyiwa replaced him only to later leave for the same reason, and the latest draft of the script (which has undergone numerous rewrites) was penned by King Arthur: Legend of the Sword's Joby Harold.
Now, current directors John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein (who helmed Game Night and wrote Spider-Man: Homecoming) are doing another rewrite.
No details have been revealed beyond that, but it would be fascinating to find out how this movie has gone from an origin story to an adaptation of Flashpoint, and now something else altogether!
