For those who don’t know, Phil Lord and Chris Miller wrote a treatment for The Flash several years ago, but rather than jump on to direct the movie afterwards, they instead boarded the Han Solo movie, the second of the Star Wars Anthology spinoffs.
Fast-forward a year, The Wrap is reporting that Miller and Lord met with DC about possibly directing The Flash.
It’s unclear whether or not the duo was considering leaving the Han Solo movie at that point, but regardless, they decided to remain in a galaxy far, far away.
This meeting happened shortly after Rick Famuyiwa left the movie, and coincided with the Han Solo movie’s production hiatus.
