More DC Movie Release Date Changes

As studios continue to push back releases of major motion pictures, Warner has announced changes to several of their upcoming DC films. The Batman has been moved from October 1, 2021 to March 4, 2022. Shazam!: Fury of the Gods is moving from November 4, 2022 to June 2, 2023, to be replaced by The Flash. Black Adam is now officially undated. Wonder Woman 1984 is still scheduled for this December (for now...).

The Batman, The Flash, & Shazam! 2 Release Dates Moved

Due to the ongoing pandemic and resulting quarantine measures, Warner Bros has re-dated several films, including three DC ones. The Batman will move from June 25, 2021 to October 1, 2021, while the Flash movie will be released on June 3, 2022 (instead of July 1). The Shazam! sequel has been moved back seven months to November 4, 2022.

The Flash Film Lands Release Date

Warner Bros has scheduled a solo film for The Flash on July 1, 2022.

Newest Flashpoint Directors Confirmed

John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein have been in negotiations with Warner Bros to direct the upcoming live-action Flash movie. Now, Daley has seemingly confirmed that the negotiations were a success and they will be helming the project. This comes after the movie had gone through two previous directors and has been without one for over a year.

Wonder Woman 2 and Flashpoint Movies Announced

At SDCC today, Warner Bros confirmed the development of a Wonder Woman sequel. They also announced that the Flash movie will be subtitled Flashpoint. For those unfamiliar, Flashpoint is a story where the Flash travels back in time and accidentally creates a new reality.

WB Considering Extra DCEU Film Next Year

Variety's Justin Kroll has reported that Warner Bros is looking to release an additional DC film next year. Currently, they have nothing between this year's Justice League and Aquaman in December 2018. They are currently choosing between Gotham City Sirens, The Flash, Green Lantern Corps, Suicide Squad 2, and Dark Universe. Of those, Sirens is probably the furthest along, with a writer, director, and one cast member. However, if the scripts don't come together soon, they don't want to rush anything into production.

With BATMAN likely shooting in 2018, WB still would like one more DC property to shoot this year other than AQUAMAN

The 5 films being considered are SIRENS, FLASH, LANTERN, SQUAD 2 and DARK UNIVERSE.

That said if scripts aren't ready to go, studio is content just shooting AQUAMAN this year till films are ready to go

Flash Script to be Rewritten

According to Variety, Warner Bros has hired Joby Harold to rewrite the script for the Flash movie. The current draft was written by Rick Famuyiwa, who was attached to direct until a few months ago. This sounds like it will be another delay, and I'm seriously doubting we'll see the film anytime next year.

Flash Movie Loses Director... Again

Rick Famuyiwa has left The Flash due to creative differences with the studio. Famuyiwa was hired on to direct earlier this year after the departure of Seth Grahame-Smith. This will likely mean the loss of the March 2017 filming start date.

Cyborg to Appear in The Flash

Variety has reported that Victor Stone (aka Cyborg) will be appearing in the 2018 Flash movie. It's not known at this point how big his role will be.

UPDATE: Apparently, this isn't the first time this has been reported. Just another case of somebody saying the same thing that's already been said and journalists reporting it as news anyway.

UPDATE 2: The director of the movie has appeared to deny this

Flash Filming to Begin in January

According to On Location Vacations, The Flash movie will start filming this January in London. It has a March 2018 release date.

Kiersey Clemons Cast in The Flash Movie

Warner Bros has cast Kiersey Clemens to play Iris West in the upcoming Flash movie. This follows reports from a few weeks ago that she was one of the top picks for the role.

Rick Famuyiwa to Direct The Flash

Deadline has revealed that Rick Famuyiwa (Dope, Confirmation) will be directing the 2018 Flash movie. This comes after the previous director, Seth Grahame-Smith left the project due to creative differences (most likely actually due to Warner Bros wanting a more experienced director in the wake of Batman v Superman).

Flash Director Drops Out

The Hollywood Reporter has posted that Flash director Seth Grahame-Smith has left the project due to creative differences. The movie is set to come out in a little under two years, which leaves several months to find a new director.

Flash Release Date Moved

Warner Bros has apparently moved the release date of the Flash movie, by a grand total of one week. The film will now come out on March 16, 2018.

UNTITLED DC FILM (possibly FLASH) will streak into multiplexes a week earlier than planned--3/16/18 instead of 3/23.

Phil Lord & Christopher Miller Writing The Flash

Deadline has reported the Lego Movie directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are going to be writing the 2018 Flash movie. They are currently in the process of writing the treatment, which is the first step before the full script.

DC Movie Announcement

Warner Bros and DC have recently made a large announcement regarding their movies over the coming years. First off, Ezra Miller has been confirmed as the Flash and Jason Mamoa as Aquaman. Second, there will be two Justice League movies, coming out in 2017 and 2019. Suicide Squad is scheduled for 2016 and Wonder Woman the next year. The Flash and Aquaman will be coming out in 2018 with Shazam the following year. Green Lantern and Cyborg are also expected for 2020.
