Despite the rather appalling behaviour of star Ezra Miller and the recent news that James Gunn and Peter Safran are (most likely) planning a full reboot of the DCU, there is still quite a bit of excitement for The Flash, and we now know when the first teaser is expected to be released.
According to The Wrap, Warner Bros. is set to return to the Super Bowl after a 17-year absence to debut the trailer for the Scarlet Speedster's first solo outing.
Super Bowl LVII airs on Sunday, Feb. 12, 2023, and the teaser will then reportedly screen in front of Marvel Studios' Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania five days later on Feb. 17. We're not taking this as a sure thing just yet, so keep your eyes peeled for updates.
We've heard that the movie went over very well in test screenings, and a recent trade report claimed that the Andy Muschietti-helmed superhero adventure has "tested through the roof," with one source praising the film as “Spider-Man: No Way Home good.”
Though no official synopsis has been released, The Flash will be (loosely) based on the Flashpoint comic book arc, and is rumored to serve as a "reset" of sorts for the DCU. Both Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton will return as their respective takes on Batman, and the movie will also introduce Sasha Calle as Supergirl.
From what we understand, Henry Cavill and Gal Gadot filmed cameos as Superman and Wonder Woman, but there are conflicting reports as to whether they will still appear (we'd say Cavill is out, anyway).
The Flash recently moved its release date up by one week, and is now set to race into theaters on June 16, 2023.
