The Flash is arriving a week earlier than originally planned. Warner Bros. has moved up the release date for its DC Comics movie from the previously slated June 23 to June 16, 2023. This gives the Ezra Miller-led film some breathing room, before the Disney-owned Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny hits theatres, later that month, on June 30. The Flash has been the subject of controversies — cycling through several directors and Miller's continued run-ins with legal trouble. Andy Muschietti, who rose to prominence through the killer clown It films, directs The Flash, from a screenplay written by Christina Hodson (Birds of Prey).
The Flash being completely scrapped. The lead actor apologised later in the week, breaking the silence on his troubling behaviour, which led to a series of public assaults and charges pinned against him. “Having recently gone through a time of intense crisis, I now understand that I am suffering complex mental health issues and have begun ongoing treatment,” Miller told Variety, at the time. “I want to apologize to everyone that I have alarmed and upset with my past behaviour.”
The actor had been attached to Batman, where the cowl was donned by father Thomas Wayne, instead of Bruce Wayne.
While plot details on the The Flash movie aren't that clear, we know that both Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck will be reprising their roles as Batman. Sasha Calle also appears as Super Girl in the film, as revealed in a teaser for Mister Terrific, which could potentially be the next big project at the studio.
The Flash is now slated to release June 16, 2023, in theatres worldwide.
