Flash It just debuted in theaters, but there is already talk of a possible sequel. In fact, a new rumor suggests that the hypothetical continuation of Barry Allen’s adventures already has a script ready, but its approval depends almost entirely and solely on how Andy Muschietti’s film performs at the box office.
In accordance with WrapperDavid Leslie Johnson has been commissioned to write the next movie chapter Flash. And if his name sounds familiar to you, it’s because he already has experience with the DC Extended Universe as one of the writers. Aquaman.
However, all indications are that Warner Bros. will not approve of the continuation of the film. Flash slightly. The same medium indicates that the Argentine director’s film must solve a difficult economic problem: you must collect an amount close to what you received Batmanpremiered in 2021.
Recall that the feature film by Matt Reeves with Robert Pattinson exceeded all expectations and reached $770 million World. A considerable figure, considering that his budget ranged from 185 to 200 million.
If so, then Flash — which costs about $220 million — should do superb box office if it wants a sequel. Something that isn’t necessarily guaranteed, despite the fact that superhero movies usually raise sky-high numbers, often ignoring what critics say. Going no further Aquaman It was far from a masterpiece, but it brought in over $1 billion.
Flash must exceed Batman box office
A problem with Flash is that the instability in which its production has been involved, especially due to the controversy of Ezra Miller, today makes it difficult to predict how well it will appeal to the public. And polarization among critics also doesn’t help paint a too clear picture of what to expect in terms of commercial effectiveness.
It should also not be forgotten that the intention James Gunn And Peter Safran was to take advantage Flash to reboot the DCEU. However, later it became known that this will happen only in 2025, when the premiere will take place. Superman: Legacy.
We made it clear that the continuation Flash doesn’t seem to be guaranteed even though his script is finished. But there’s another point that’s already causing controversy: where the sequel will fall if it gets the green light from Warner Bros.
Just like in the comics DC will bet on the creation of a label other worlds for your films. There will be productions that are not included in the new canon, or explore already known stories of superheroes, but from a different angle. yeah Flash the second part is finally coming out, can it be part of this alternate universe?
Nothing is certain at the moment. The only thing that is clear to Andy Muschietti is that if the sequel is approved and he stays on as director, Ezra Miller is irreplaceable. In any case, the Argentine director knows that his future will still be in the DC Extended Universe, as he will be in charge of Brave and boldNew film Batman.
