THE FLASH Has Reportedly Commenced Production In London

Previous reports had indicated that production was scheduled to begin on Warner Bros. & director Andy Muschietti's The Flash at some point this month, and it looks like cameras are now rolling in London.

Like pretty much every other major production scheduled to begin shooting over the past year or so, The Flash ran into some pandemic-related delays, but it looks like cameras are finally rolling on the Scarlet Speedster's first solo big-screen outing.

In their report of the formation of brother and sister team Andy Muschietti and Barbara Muschiettis new production company, Double Dream, Deadline mentions that the former has begun filming the DC Comics adventure in London, England.

The trade doesn't provide any more details, but we'd usually get some kind of official announcement from the director or studio when a big tentpole release commences production, so keep an eye out for updates.

Christina Hodson wrote the The Flash's script, with Barbara Muschietti and Michael Disco producing, and Marianne Jenkins on board as executive producer. Plot details are still under wraps, but the story is expected to be at least partially influenced by the Flashpoint comic book arc.

Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton will (hopefully) return as their respective takes on Bruce Wayne/Batman, and we recently found out that the movie would also introduce Sasha Calle as the DCEU's new Supergirl.

Kiersey Clemons will reprise the role of Iris West, and Zack Snyder's Justice League star Ray Fisher recently indicated that there was still a chance he could appear as Cyborg.

Wow, they actually got started with this movie? Unbelievable lol. Anyway, I still think there's a good Flash in Ezra Miller somewhere. Just give the guy a good script. He's trying to do something different, I'll give him that.

Still no confirmation on Keaton though. Ezra has an uphill battle to fight in order to gain the approval of the people on this site. I hope he can pull it off, not positive he will though

@TheMapleSyrup - Ezra could give less than a shit about us honestly. We are the smallest fraction of people and no where near the general consensus. It's more Snyderbots than us

Michael Keaton might really be returning after all considering his Batmobile might already be in developpement.

Between Ezra Miller being terribly miscast as Barry Allen and stuff the Flash’s first movie with a bunch of unnecessary heroes, I have no hype for this.

@BreakTheCode - Sadly I feel somewhat the same way.

I guess Miller could be a good Barry, he just hasnt been yet.
I also don't get the weird mix of heroes apparently in the movie. Why two Bruce Wayne-Batmen and Supergirl?

If they really want to adapt Flashpoint (which I think is too early) why not just use Affleck and Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Thomas Wayne? Throw in Lauren Cohan in a brief Joker role and you're all set on the Bat-front. Not that I'm not happy to have Keaton return (he is the best Batman imo) but it just seems odd.

I guess Supergirl could replace Clark which I would be okay with.

Also, doing any sort of Flashpoint adaptation without Gadot and Momoa would be a wasted opportunity. Imagine the epic fight between WW and Mera and later Arthur.

If Keaton stayed at home because of the pandemic...and they cast Jeffrey Dean Morgan as the DCEU Batman, that would be a dream come true.

@UXASIS - What would be the point of JDM's Batman, though? The DCEU Batman already behaves like the Flashpoint Batman.

@UXASIS - Especially considering Keaton doesn't even seem that interested, and JDM is very interested, but hey WB is gonna be WB.

@Battabing - True, maybe they could ditch the killing and just make him a new Batman.

But that would kinda ruin Thomas' character, so idk

The only thing that slightly interests me about this movie is Sasha Calle as Supergirl. Ezra Killer and Fatfleck are tainted and Keaton is beyond Murtaugh too old for this shit.

@inkniron - can you relax with the negativity? Lame ah

@Mrtoke - Or, I can state what interests me and what doesn't and if you don't like it, bounce the [frick] on and keep your negative opinion of me to yourself. Don't be a hypocrite.

@inkniron - Fatfleck? Really? Keaton too old for what? You feel different with his role as vulture, then you just hating.
