Even Before Its Release, Ezra Miller's The Flash Already Has Sequel Ready to Go
The first The Flash is yet to hit the theaters but we've learned that the studio already has a fully fledged-out script for the sequel. Is it already settled, then?
Everyone who's seen The Flash 's early screenings so far is in awe of the movie. This includes Zach Snyder, James Gunn, Henry Cavill, and many others — all big names in the industry.
Some of them even go as far as calling the upcoming Ezra Miller 's film "the greatest superhero movie of all time," so it seems they really loved it.
But the real question is, "Can a non-released movie be that good for having a pre-made sequel script for the occasion of its inevitable massive success?"
According to reports, such a script already exists for The Flash 2, and it's been ready for quite some time now. It was put together by David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick, the writer behind Aquaman, and is admittedly fully finished and fletched-out.
Warner Bros. has understandably never officially announced this script's existence or confirmed it, but some of its details are known to the public by now anyway.
For instance, the second movie will feature Michael Keaton's Batman and Sasha Calle's Supergirl once again as guest stars, which is weird in light of the first movie's plot.
The studio's confidence in The Flash's success is overwhelming, to say the least, but it seems like the executives have the game figured out (or at least they think so).
With such strong support from the industry's A-listers and biggest directors, the promises of "the best superhero movie" don't even seem that far-stretched.
Still, there's at least one issue that might be standing between The Flash and the total box office success: Ezra Miller's reputation.
The actor's notorious for all the various controversies they've been involved in, and the list of their alleged crimes would've taken longer than this article — and many people are not OK with it.
There's an entire social media campaign for educating the rest of the audience about Ezra Miller's recent deeds and misdeeds.
People are advocating for the boycott of The Flash, and Miller's reputation will definitely prevent some fans from paying for the movie… But after all, this kind of PR attracts more people than it repels.
Maybe this is one of the reasons Warner Bros. ordered the script for The Flash 2 so early on, hoping that the positive big-name feedback combined with the lead actor's dark reputation would attract the masses… If so, they're probably right.
