"The Flash" Movie Moves Release Up One Week

Warner Bros. has moved up the release date for DC's long-awaited movie "The Flash" from the previously slated June 23 to June 16, 2023.

The new date gives the movie more breathing room ahead of the release of Disney’s "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny", which bows on June 30.

Ezra Miller stars as Barry Allen/The Flash in the project, which also stars Michael Keaton, back as Batman for the first time since 1992, as well as Ben Affleck, also playing a version of Batman. It will also introduce Sasha Calle as Supergirl. 

Miller has been at the centre of various controversies this year, which culminated with him apologizing and seeking help for mental health issues.

The actor has long been attached to the movie after being cast as "The Flash" in 2014. He first had a cameo in "Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice" (2016) and had a lead role in "Justice League" (2017).

Andy Muschietti is directing the movie from a script by Christina Hodson.

In addition, Warners announced its movie "Mummies" will open in limited release on February 24, 2023. 

Juan Jesus Garcia Galocha directs with a voice cast led by Sean Bean and Hugh Bonneville. It follows three mummies who wind up in modern-day London.
