'There's a world for all things Flash' - DC Studios prepares for the much-anticipated Flash movie

As the speed of light rounds the cinematic corner, anticipation for the DC Studios film, The Flash, is building. With the fast-paced superhero's legacy trailing from television screens to the big screen, the words of Eric Wallace, the showrunner for The CW's The Flash, echo in the ears of eager fans: "'I literally can’t wait to see it'".

From Small Screens to the Silver Screen

Grant Gustin's nine-season TV run as The Flash recently drew to a close, setting the stage for Barry Allen's cinematic incarnation. Taking over the high-speed reins, Ezra Miller will once again step into the speedster's boots for the film due to hit theaters on June 16. As reported by TVLine, Miller's previously portrayed the character in Zack Snyder’s Justice League and made cameo appearances in the Arrowverse’s “Crisis on Infinite Earths” crossover and Peacemaker.

Miller isn't alone in reprising his role. Other cast members include Ron Livingston as Henry Allen, Kiersey Clemons as Iris West, Sasha Calle debuting as Supergirl, and the return of Man of Steel's Michael Shannon and Antje Traue as General Zod and Faora-Ul. In an interesting twist, both Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton will be seen playing Batman.

All Things Flash: A World of Speedsters

In a recent interview, Eric Wallace expressed his universal love for the Flash, "'I do believe there’s a world for all things Flash — Elseworlds, TV, movie… whatever. I just love the character so much,'" he opined. His words resonate with the nostalgia that fans feel for the past Flash, Grant Gustin, and their excitement for the future with Ezra Miller.

As Wallace reminisces about the heroes of his generation, he remarks, "'Grant [Gustin] will always be the Flash for a certain generation...But then there’ll be a new generation of folks that say, 'Ezra Miller, they are my Flash, too.''"

The Flash is not the only project to predate the formation of the new DC Universe. DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran recently unveiled 10 movie and TV projects that will initiate their phase known as “Chapter One: Gods and Monsters.” From a Wonder Woman prequel set before Diana was born to new takes on Superman, Batman, Supergirl and Swamp Thing, the DC Universe is expanding.

Wallace, an ardent DC fan, couldn't contain his excitement for these upcoming projects, especially the new Swamp Thing movie. His words hint at a future as thrilling as a high-speed chase: "'Please call me. Please call me. I would love to write on that. Let me help you.'"

As the upcoming Flash movie heralds the dawn of a new era in the DC Universe, fans and creators alike eagerly await its arrival.
