Will The Flash Movie Bring Grant Gustin's Barry Allen to the Big Screen?

As we now know,The Flash moviewill include at least two iterations of Batman, but might we also see multiple other versions of Barry Allen? Recently, it had been officially confirmed thatThe Flashwill see the returns of both Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne, as the movie will establish a multiverse capable of featuring alternate versions of the same character. Seeing an opportunity, Eric Wallace – the showrunner of the ArrowverseFlashseries on The CW – said ahead of Saturday’s DC FanDome event that he’s hoping to see his Flash make an appearance as well.

Of course, if Grant Gustin’s Barry Allen from the Arrowverse series runs into Ezra Miller’s take on the character inThe Flashmovie, it wouldn’t be the first time the alternate Flashes have met. Previously, Miller madea surprise cameo appearanceas the DCEU Flash in the televised crossover eventCrisis on Infinite Earths. It was an exciting moment, but it was perhaps all too brief with fans wanting to see more of the two Flashes. Feeling that there’s more mileage in a collaboration between Gustin and Miller, Wallace is now making the push to get Gustin into the movie.

“I would love to see Grant appear somewhere in their version of the film,” Wallace explained. “Say I said, ‘You know what? I’ll give you a couple of weeks off easy now.’ I don’t know if they’ll do that, but I’m putting it out there. Because I know Grant would be excited. I think he would have some fun.”

If gettingGrant GustinintoThe Flashmovie ultimately doesn’t work out, Wallace says that there will still always remain an open invitation for Miller to come back to the Arrowverse. “I also told Ezra, with open arms, we would welcome him back,” Wallace noted. “I would love to have him back for longer, for a full episode ofThe Flash TV Show, if we can somehow make it happen. Schedules are so tough. He’s a very busy man. He has not justThe Flashfranchise, but other franchises too.”

He adds, “So I don’t know how possible it is, but I do know it’s not impossible because we proved it inCrisiswhen we saw the two Flashes together. So I’m going to be hopeful and I’m going to put that energy out there. Hopefully someday sooner, rather than later, we will see thosetwo Flashes of Ezra and Grant togetherand for anybody reading this article, I am happy to help accommodate in any way possible.”

With the plot of the movie continuing to take shape, anything is possible withThe Flash. The movie will also reportedly see the return of Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, and with Affleck’s involvement also confirmed, we could end up seeing a complete reunion of the Justice League. Even so, Keaton’s reprisal of hisBatmanrole from the original Tim Burton movies has fans especially excited, and the casting also made it clear that any fan favorite DC character from years past can potentially show up in the movie.

In any case, Wallace also says he will “literally be the first person in line to go see” the newFlashmovie when it is released in theaters on August 17, 2025. Meanwhile, The CW’s version ofThe Flashis set to premiere its seventh season in January 2021. This news comes to us fromComicBook.com.
