The Flash without Grant Gustin: The hero of the series is not in the movie, and here’s why

The Flash is coming full speed to your movie screens! Ezra Miller takes on a role he has already played in the “Snyderverse” as Justice League or Batman V Superman. This time he’s almost solo as he’ll be assisted by no less than two Batmans played by Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton.

A film set in an alternate universe created by Barry Allen who wants to fix an event from his past, The Flash will offer a lot of cameos, but there are some that fans won’t be allowed to see and that were very close to his heart. fans, characters.

The version of the superhero played by Grant Gustin for years on American television will not be in the film, director Andy Muschietti confirmed to the media. Nerdist :

Of course, like I said before, the cameo list was…huge. So we’ve obviously been toying with the idea of ​​bringing DC characters from TV, but we have to decide.

And that piece was not in favor of the Arrowverse and Grant Gustin, after nine years of good and faithful service in the thick of the Speedster on the small screen.

Recall that in January 2020, Ezra Miller appeared as Barry Allen from another dimension in the Arrowverse crossover called Crisis on Infinite Earths. At the time, the two actors posed together to promote the event.

A time that, therefore, seems very distant, since Grant Gustin was not allowed to return to the elevator and did not even appear in a feature film about Barry Allen, based on many universes. However, if Flash 2 sees the light of day, fans can still hope that the glitch has been fixed.

They have other cameos “can’t walk” And therefore will not be in the film according to Muschietti, such as Wonder Woman played by Linda Carter, Marlon Brando’s Jor-El in 1978’s Superman, as well as Penguin and Batman’s Joker in the TV series. 60s.
