With what feels like a very long rocky road we are finally close to actually getting the movie to be filmed which is scheduled to begin in April.
What is the latest news for The Flash movie?
The first piece is that we finally have a casting for Nora Allen, The mother of Barry Allen. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Spanish actress Maribel Verdu will portray Barry’s mother in The Flash movie.
This is great casting and one which has been needed for a while. We’ve only heard that his mother was killed and his father got the blame for it, but we’ve never seen her before so it’s finally nice to get a face to the name.
But when there is good news there shall be bad news.
Unfortunately, due to a scheduling conflict, Billy Crudup has to drop out of the upcoming The Flash movie project and will also be recast for the movie.
We saw Billy Crudup portray Henry Allen in Justice League, He was all set to return to the role but unfortunately due to a scheduling conflict and obviously the Covid-19 pandemic many filming times were altered and Billy is currently filming a TV series.
This is no way DC Comics or Warner Bros. fault (for once) but just bad timing. I’m sad to say this sucks but from what we saw it was only a small part we got to see Billy in Justice League, whether that changes in the upcoming Snyder Cut release we will have to wait and see.
