Here’s some news for The Flash’s fans! The movie release date has been postponed to June 3, 2022. Well, the fans have to wait for one more month to witness the superhero’s charisma!
Change in Plans
With a shift of events, the release date of The Flash movie has been decided as of June 3, 2022. With Ezra Miller taking over the role of The Flash, fans wanted a solo film starring this iteration of the Scarlet Speedster. Although being a movie set in Warner Bros. and DC Films’ Dc Extended Universe, it has faced many setbacks. These setbacks included many directors resigning and joining the team.
The movie is set to roll, finally!
When Andy Muschietti signed in as the director, the movie set to roll forward, the company gave a release date in the summer of 2022. However, Miller was in the spotlight of a scandal that involved some folks wondering if the studio would continue having him as the star. But, on the brighter part, it looks like the movie is staying on the course. Talking about other movies, has announced multiple changes to their upcoming release slate. The list includes big names like The Batman and Shazam 2.
COVID-19 and the shifts
Although not stated by the company, these release dates come as a result of shutdowns in the Hollywood industry. Studios across the industry paused ongoing and future projects to maintain social distancing measures to fight the pandemic. Therefore, many movies are already delayed. If we consider other production houses, Disney has announced that all the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe movies are delayed.
The case of The Flash
If we consider the case of The Flash, it brings up the confidence of the studio’s ability to move forward with the project. Therefore, once the pandemic is over, it is expected that they will work with full force to complete the project. Certain aspects of the movie can be achieved by working from home; the project can likely jump into filming very quickly. The release date change indicates the incident in which Miller was involved in that went viral won’t affect his standing as The Flash. However, little is known about Warner Bros. and Muschietti’s Flash movie. But, with a definite release date, it is expected that the production work will start very soon. Therefore, it is safe to say that the movie being shifted to another date is a ray of hope amidst all the delays.
