The Flash Movie Gets New Logo, Begins Production
The standalone Flash movie has begun day one of production, and has a new logo.
On Instagram, director Andy Muschietti wrote, “Here we go!!! THE FLASH Day 1”, and posted a short visualisation of the new Flash logo appearing.
It’s a major milestone for The Flash movie which has undergone many, many changes since being announced in 2014. While Ezra Miller has always been attached in the lead role, the movie has lost two directors, been delayed, got a complete rewrite, and been part of an acrimonious bust-up with Cyborg actor Ray Fisher.
The cast includes Ezra Miller as Barry Allen/The Flash, Sasha Calle as Supergirl, Michael Keaton returning as Batman (although the actor is assessing the COVID pandemic), Ben Affleck as a whole other Batman, and, reportedly, Billy Crudup as Barry Allen’s father.
Touted as a version of the classic DC Flashpoint story, the story will apparently “restart everything” in the DC cinematic universe. “It’s going to be fun and exciting and there are a lot of DC characters in it,” said producer Barbara Muschietti. “Flash is the superhero of this film because he is the bridge between all of these characters and timelines. And in a way, it restarts everything and doesn’t forget anything.”
