Dope director Rick Famuyiwa joined The Flash earlier this year after the project parted ways with previous director Seth Grahame-Smith.
As for the future of The Flash movie itself, Famuyiwa says he pitched a film that speaks to “a fresh generational, topical, and multicultural point of view.”
The announcement was met with general praise, and all signs pointed towards the production moving full steam ahead.
Warner Bros. will now be retooling the concept around The Flash to figure out their version and a director that fits that vision.
