Warner Bros. paid. Discovery The Flash release date.
The studio has announced that The Flash will now hit theaters on June 16, 2023, a week ahead of its previously announced release date of June 23, 2023. This will likely sidestep Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny which it finally announced will premiere on the 30th. June.
The Flash has had a difficult time making it to cinemas, with multiple searches for directors, delays, and star Ezra Miller’s legal tussles including arrests and the announcement that they will be seeking help for mental health issues.
Miller is part of the DCEU as they have played the character starting with Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and then Justice League. The solo movie has long been expected to adapt the Flashpoint story and potentially recreate the DC universe.
The alternate timeline story line explains how Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton could be in The Flash, both playing different versions of Batman. The movie also includes Sasha Calle as Supergirl.
It’s unclear what the DC universe will look like once The Flash finally premieres and possibly rewrites the DC universe. The film, which resisted calls for cancellation following Miller’s arrest, could very well set the stage for a clean slate that will allow new DC co-presidents James Gunn and Peter Safran to imprint their own designs on the DC universe.
Reportedly, the two are finalizing their master plan that will connect DC movies, TV, and animation, and Gunn has been dropping teasers for various DC characters on Twitter such as Mister Terrific, and art from the DC Kingdom Come story.
