One of the most anticipated movies of the year is The Flash starring Ezra Miller. From the trailers, it is clear that the movie will be based on the iconic Flashpoint comic series.
In the comic plotline, we see Barry Allen aka The Flash deal with the consequences of traveling back in time to save his mother.
From the first trailer of the movie, it is clear that it will have a similar plot to the critically acclaimed Flashpoint comics, in which Barrly Allen aka The Flash travels back in time to save his mother's life which creates an alternate timeline where the world is about to end.
However, one prominent element from the comic that was believed to be absent from the movie was the appearance of the Reverse Flash. But a new post by the director has led many fans to believe that we may get to see Barry Allen's archnemesis.
In the comics, Reverse Flash, or Doctor Zoom as he is sometimes called is Eobard Thawne, a scientist who is blessed with the Flash and gives himself the same powers. However, when he comes to the realization he is destined to be his hero Archnemesis, he goes insane.
We will have to wait till the movie comes out next month to know if there is any truth to the rumors but introducing the character in the movie would be the icing on the cake.
The Flash movie has received overwhelmingly positive reactions in early test screenings. The movie will be a reboot of the DC franchise and will set up the newly formed DCU so that this movie will serve as a farewell to many beloved superhero characters.
The movie is directed by Andy Muschietti and the rest of the cast includes Ron Livingston, Kiersey Clemons, Sasha Calle, and Maribel Verdú.
The Flash will hit theaters worldwide on June 16, 2023.
