The Flash to restart DCEU having a lot of DC characters

During the recent DC FanDome event, The Flash producer Barbara Muschietti spilt some beans about the movie. She said that she wants the audiences to see it, so she will not reveal much about it. But she stated that it will be a ride. The producer mentioned that it is going to be fun and exciting and there are a “lot of DC characters” in the film. She explained that Flash is the superhero of the movie because he is the bridge between all of those characters and timelines. And in a way, it restarts everything and does not forget anything, Barbara noted.

The Flash director Andy Muschietti also shed some light about the movie. He said that it is based on Flashpoint comic, but it is not going to be exactly like Flashpoint. The filmmaker stated that their film is inspired by the original comic book saga. He mentioned that the audiences are going to find a “lot of surprises and new events,” and a lot of “thrilling things” that are not in the comic book.

And also terrifying sometimes,” Andy noted.
