Warner Bros. is working hard to rectify the stalling DC cinematic universe, put into peril after the poor reception of Batman v.
Superman; efforts have largely concentrated on its highly anticipated alternative offering Suicide Squad, with the studio now steadying The Flash after the highly publicised departure of its original director Seth Grahame-Smith.
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’s Ezra Miller will star as the titular hero, as The Flash hits US cinemas 16 March 2018.
Reports are that Warner Bros. was looking for a director who’d be able to resonate with younger viewers; specifically being compatible with the script already penned by Grahame-Smith, and based off a treatment by The LEGO Movie directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller.
