Having popped up briefly in both Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad, Ezra Miller’s Barry Allen will step into the spotlight fully next year with the release of Justice League, before headlining The Flash the following year.
As production continues on the Zack Snyder-helmed ensemble, MTV caught up with Miller to get a few words on the solo movie, and in particular what director Rick Famuyiwa plans on bringing to the DC Extended Universe:
“I think there’s just an intention to make something extremely fun and something superhuman and something deeply human. It’s the thing we’re all trying to do, but I think Rick’s mind and his heart are in an excellent place, and his expertise as a filmmaker, as evidenced by Dope, all come together as very exciting factors to me. It’s hard when talking about Rick to not use the word dope too many times. It’s the Brooklyn in me; dope is a big part of my vernacular.”
Miller also spoke about working with actress Kiersey Clemons, who is set to portray the character of Iris West: “Kiersey is amazing. I had the opportunity to read with her and do some explorative acting in our chemistry read … the results of these experiments clearly were positive. I’m just deeply excited about what these people carry in their hearts, and I’m excited about the radical intention that everybody seems to be bringing to the genesis chamber of this film.”
The Flash is set to race into cinemas on March 16th, 2018, while Justice League opens on November 17th 2017.
