With so many of the previously-confirmed DCEU movies in limbo right now, it appears that The Flash is indeed still happening.

That picture – which was at one point titled Flashpoint – has had several delays to date, and more recently there were rumblings that The Flash could be one of the films that Warner Brothers had pulled from their plans. The solo effort for Ezra Miller’s Scarlet Speedster is again confirmed to be moving forward, although Variety now has word that scripting issues mean that the movie has again hit a snag.

At one stage, shooting was due to start this coming March on The Flash. Now, unhappiness with the script means that Warners is allowing more time for the tale to be put together. Throwing a further spanner in the works, Miller is due to start filming the third Fantastic Beasts film next year, meaning that The Flash likely won’t be able to start shooting until late 2019. Following that trajectory, you’d then have to imagine that The Flash won’t be in cinemas until 2021.

John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein – who penned Spider-Man: Homecoming – are on directing duties for The Flash.

As ever, expect more on all things Sultan of Speed as we get it.
