Warner Bros. has unveiled an update regarding the DC movie “The Flash” eventual streaming release date on Max, a combination of the HBO Max and Discovery+ services.
The movie is finally on its way to theaters in weeks after experiencing years of development problems, which resulted in delays to its release seemingly every few months over the past decade. “The Flash” is set to hit theaters on June 16.
HBO & Max chief Casey Bloys revealed during Warner Bros. Discovery’s Max event that "The Flash" will debut on the streaming service in fall 2023.
"'The Flash' will land on the service the fall after its exclusive run in theaters this June," he said in a statement.
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.
“The Flash” plays a major role in the evolution of DC’s onscreen stories, serving as a reboot ahead of James Gunn and Peter Safran’s new plan for the DC Universe.
Miller 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).
It also featured a return of Michael Shannon’s General Zod from “Man of Steel” and introduced Sasha Calle as Supergirl. The cast also includes Kiersey Clemons as Iris West, Saoirse-Monica Jackson, Antje Traue, and Maribel Verdú.
Andy Muschietti, best known for directing 2017’s “It” and its sequel, helms “The Flash”. The script was written by Christina Hodson and produced by Michael Disco and Barbara Muschietti.
