Warner Bros. had been trying to figure out what to do with it The flash movie for most of last year due to the ongoing controversy surrounding Ezra Miller. The studio had the choice of canceling the film, reshooting it with a different actor, or releasing it as is. That was finally decided The flash would be released with Miller still as the lead and the actor apologized for his actions and even started getting professional help. James Gunn and Peter Safran recently took over DC Studios and unveiled a series of projects they’re developing, even touting The Flash as one of the best superhero movies ever. Now, one of The Speedlights stars speaks out about the whole situation with Miller. During a recent red carpet appearance, The Hollywood Reporter got a chance to talk to Kiersey Clemons, who plays Iris West, and she revealed it was hard watching it all happen with her costar.
“What people forget is that a lot of people are going through that, but they’re not doing it with the whole world watching,” Clemons revealed. “Even though it comes with the territory, it’s really unfair and I looked hard at that.”
Gunn and Safran started out as co-CEOs of DC Studios last year, and it’s safe to say DC’s future looks bright. When the duo was announced by the new boss of Warner Bros. Discovery, they released a statement about their enthusiasm for the job.
“We are honored to be the stewards of these DC characters that we’ve loved since we were kids,” Gunn and Safran added in a joint statement. “We look forward to working with the most talented writers, directors and actors in the world to create an integrated, multi-layered universe that still allows for the individual expression of the artists involved. Our commitment to Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Harley Quinn and the rest of DC’s stable of characters is matched only by our dedication to the wonder of human possibility that these characters represent. We are excited to revive the theater experience around the world while we have some of the greatest, greatest, and grandest stories ever told.”

Pictures and New Line describe the film as follows: “Endowed with the powers of the gods, Billy Batson and his fellow foster kids are still learning how to juggle teenage life with adult superhero alter egos.
