Rumors that Flashpoint will restart the DC movie universe have been around since 2017, but work on the film was constantly skidding due to the change of directors, Ezra Miller’s requirements and his employment on other projects. It was originally supposed that the film would remove Batman from the plot. Ben Affleck and a number of other characters, as well as forget about the failure of the Justice League, while maintaining successful decisions (Aquaman, Shazam and Wonder Woman) The updated line of DCEU projects has very conditional connections with each other, which was done intentionally.
As The Wrap notes, the reboot idea was again relevant due to the success of the film “Avengers: Final“but has become much larger. Flashpoint allows you to more than just restart DC Extended Universe, but also make canon two versions of the “Justice League” from Joss Whedon and Zach Snyder. Yes, you can still throw out unsuccessful elements, but you can do it so as not to ruin the franchise.
Moreover, given the rumors about the possible return of Ben Affleck to the role of Batman, a unique situation may arise when three Dark Knights harmoniously coexist in the DC cinema: Keaton, Affleck and Pattinson.
You can even introduce films into the single universe that are not included in it. For example, “Jokers” Todd Phillipswhat AT&T would be happy about. However, in this case, the consent of the director and actor is necessary Joaquin Phoenix.
The multiverse can also solve the problem. Superman. According to the latest information, Warner Bros. in talks with Henry Cavill about his possible participation in new projects. His position is now quite strong: the actor is not only very much in demand, but he also has a very percussive agent.
Cavill represents interests Dani Garcia – ex-wife Dwayne Johnson’s “Cliffs”. At the same time, the producer maintained friendly relations with the ex-spouse, because she still represents his interests. Wrestler for almost a decade attached to the role Black Adam. And he really wants his good friend Henry Cavill to appear with him.
And if Skala wants something, he can be very persistent. This is proved by numerous scandals on the set “Fast and furious“and conflict with Wine Diesel (Johnson struck a separate spin-off for himself, which Diesel and some other actors did not like).
At the same time, last year there was a discussion that Superman should play a black actor. It was reported that the role claims Mike B. Jordanallegedly negotiating with a company Bad Robot Productionswhich is the result of a mega deal with Warner Bros. responsible for a number of new projects.
The new plan will make it possible to reconcile all parties. Want a white Superman? You are welcome! Agitate for an alternative version of Steel Man? No problem! The main thing is that this approach be financially successful, otherwise all hopes will be buried.
Multiverse’s pilot launch could already be seen on CW. He organized in his series a large-scale crossoverInfinite Earth Crisis“, in the framework of which there were numerous references to Batman Adam West, Batman Keaton, other series based on DC comics, and the central event was the meeting of two Barry Allen: Ezra Miller and Grant Gastin.
