The Flash will appear on television in 2023.
Barry Allen, played by Ezra Miller, will appear in a standalone film based on DC’s The Flash. Since its first release, the comic book that served as the movie’s inspiration has been a cult favorite, and as The Flash establishes itself in the DC Extended Universe, it is only picking up more followers. Here is everything we know about DC’s The Flash now that he will star in his own movie.
When Will the DC Movie The Flash Be Released?
Currently, the Friday, June 23, 2023, date for the release of The Flash has been set.
The film’s initial release date was March 18, 2018, however, it was then postponed to a number of dates in 2022. The film was initially scheduled for release on July 23, 2022, but it was ultimately rescheduled until June 23, 2023. Hopefully, this is the last chance to the film.
Production on The Flash began in April 2021 and ended in October of the same year.

Ezra Miller, who will play both the eponymous figure and his alter ego, Barry Allen, is the star of The Flash cast. Miller is most recognized for appearing in a number of successful films, including Zack Snyder’s Justice League and The Perks of Being a Wallflower. In the films Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, Miller also played the role of Credence Barebone.
Temuera Morrison, who will play Tom Curry, will appear with Miller. Barry’s father, Henry Allen, will be portrayed by Ron Livingston, and Barry’s mother, Nora Allen, by Maribel Verdu.
Which DC Superheroes Will Make an Appearance in the Film for The Flash?
In The Flash, a number of DC superheroes will make an appearance.
Not one, but two Batmans—played by two of the most illustrious Batmans in history—will make appearances in The Flash. Together with Michael Keaton, who will reprise his iconic performance as the Batman from 1989, Ben Affleck will once more play the scowling Dark Knight. In addition to the Batman cameos, Sasha Calle’s Supergirl will also be there.
Former DC antagonists like Michael Shannon, who will reprise his role as General Zod, will also appear in the movie. Antje Traue, who will play General Zod’s dependable sidekick Faora, will join Shannon on stage.

The Flash Plot: What Will Happen in the DC Extended Universe Film?
After being hired to direct The Flash, director Andy Muschetti discussed the storyline. According to him, the film would incorporate aspects from the Flashpoint comic book series as well as bring the DC multiverse to the DC cinematic universe.
The plot of the Flashpoint comic book is about a parallel universe where other superheroes take the main stage. In this parallel universe, Cyborg—not Superman—saves the world, and Thomas Wayne, not Bruce Wayne, plays the role of Batman.
Because Barry went back in time to prevent his mother Nora from being murdered, fans of The Flash will be aware that Flashpoint took place.
The teaser, which was released in 2021, is a crucial piece of information that can help us foresee some aspects of the film. Barry is shown leaving his boyhood home and walking up to a woman, who we presume to be his mother. This could imply that he prevented the murder of his mother, but at what cost?
Additionally, it appears that there are several persons wearing the Flash suit, thus it’s possible that Barry will interact with The Flash in the alternate universe he ends up in.
