We know that two Justice League members will be getting films pretty soon with Aquaman set to be released later this year and Wonder Woman 1984 next year along with a Shazam! film before that. We got to see Batman and Superman in their own film but the Flash doesn’t seem to have much word on an upcoming film. We’ve heard that a pair of directors have been attached to direct the film with Ezra Miller back of course along with Kiersey Clemons and Billy Crudup but other than that, not much.
It seems that we won’t be getting a Flash film too soon and it doesn’t seem like it’s really a priority just yet as the cast members are still pretty uncertain as to when production will even begin. During the Power of Young Hollywood event on Tuesday, Variety spoke to Clemons who is supposed to play Iris West in the film. She was asked on the status on the film and revealed that she doesn’t really know much about it. She said:
“No idea, we don’t know yet, I mean, we have a little bit of an idea kind of who our director is, but I can’t say that. But I talk with Ezra [Miller] frequently and we’ll see. We can’t say anything until you guys know.”
She was asked if the project was put on hold and well, it seems like it kinda is. She revealed:
“Yes, what I will say is that they get to approve every job that I do and, so far, I’m not doing Flash for the rest of the year, we know that. I’m doing other things. But let’s hope for 2019.”

We just know that they won’t be filming this year however or….. it could be a secret…. Okay, probably not but a recent report from The Geeks Worldwide has suggested that filming for the Flash is expected to finish by the end of 2019 so maybe they’re just waiting for the right moment to pounce. Perhaps Warner Bros. wants to play their cards right and maybe even see how Aquaman and Shazam! will be received once it’s released. That would be a smart move and it would really tell a lot about how the DCEU is shaping up so don’t worry guys, take your time.
