With The Flash around six months away from arriving in theaters, we're expecting Warner Bros. to start the marketing campaign relatively soon. In the meantime, a new poster and promo art has found its way online, offering a closer look at the Scarlet Speedster in action...or should that be Scarlet Speedsters?
We've known for a while now that the movie will feature two versions of Barry Allen, and we get to see them race into action together here.
Look closely, and you'll notice the second Flash is wearing a repurposed Batsuit. That pretty much confirms a recent plot leak, and it's certainly an interesting take on the hero. It's also one director Andy Muschietti hinted at a long time ago when he shared a behind-the-scenes photo of Michael Keaton's Batman costume with The Flash's logo on it.
With James Gunn and Peter Safran now calling the shots at the newly formed DC Studios, it's unclear what the future holds in store for Barry beyond The Flash. Given Ezra Miller's ongoing legal issues, we know they're unlikely to continue playing this hero, but it would be a terrible shame for the Fastest Man Alive to be sidelined.
1917 star George MacKay is rumoured to be the frontrunner to take over the role, though that was prior to Gunn and Safran boarding the DCU. If The Flash is being recast, we're sure they'll have their own ideas about who should take over the role.
Either way, this movie could bring the "DCEU" era of storytelling to a close rather than setting up a Crisis on Infinite Earths event as Warner Bros. originally planned. Miller recently took part in reshoots, and we wouldn't be at all surprised if the movie now has a completely different ending.
The Flash is set to be released in theaters on June 23, 2023.
