It seems The Flash movie could still adapt Flashpoint after all

January 12, 2020 by Gary Collinson

When it comes to the term ‘development hell’, Warner Bros. and DC Films’ The Flash movie is starting to look like a dictionary definition, having been passed around directors like a hot potato over the past few years.

However, with It helmer Andy Muschietti now on board and a new July 2022 release date set, it seems the Ezra Miller-headlined solo movie is finally back on track. And, based on comments from Muschietti to That Hashtag Show, it appears the filmmaker has decided to revisit the idea of a Flashpoint adaptation – albeit a “different version of Flashpoint than you’re expecting.”

In the Flashpoint comic book storyline, Barry Allen found himself in an alternate reality, one where Wonder Woman leads the Amazons in a world war against Aquaman and the Atlanteans, Thomas Wayne has donned the cape and cowl as Batman, and the U.S. government has kept Kal-El hidden away from the sun, preventing him from turning into Superman as an adult.

While The Flash was originally intended as a solo movie for the Scarlet Speedster, it was announced at Comic-Con 2017 that the film would instead adapt Flashpoint, before reverting back to the original plan of a solo film once directors John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein (Game Night) came on board.

Are you excited about seeing an DCEU version of Flashpoint? Let us know your thoughts in the comments or on our social channels @flickeringmyth…

The Flahs is slated for release on July 1st 2022.
