Ezra Miller has asked his fans to have faith in DC films. Speaking with Playboy, the actor said, “We have to trust,” when asked about the production status of The Flash movie.
“Nothing is ever certain in this world, but as certain as things get, we’re making a f*cking crazy-dope Flash movie,” Miller told Playboy, “It’s one of my great life dreams, and just the fact that we’re on the way—anyone who knows about Barry Allen knows he may arrive late, very late, but once he gets there, it’s all solved. We have to trust.”
Ezra Miller was first cast as Barry Allen AKA The Flash back in 2016, in the DC movie universe – previously known as the DCEU, now christened Worlds of DC – back in 2014 and since then, he has been seen in both Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad as well as in a bigger role as part of the ensemble in Justice League.
Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley are confirmed to direct Joby Harold’s screenplay. The pair was screenwriters for Sony’s Spider-Man: Homecoming. Kiersey Clemons is set to play Iris West, and Billy Crudup is cast as Barry Allen’s father. Seth Grahame-Smith of LEGO Batman was the original director of the film. He stepped down, eventually replaced by Dope director Rick Famuyiwa. Creative changes kept pushing back the release date, and it’s hard to see the film arriving before 2021.
Regarding rumors Justice League co-stars Ben Affleck is stepping out from his role as Batman and Henry Cavill stepping down as Superman, Miller suggested the reports have no truth.
“When there are these leaks of information—or however people get stuff—it’s pretty unreliable,” he said.
