After spendingso longin development hell , The Flashreally came and lead in 2023 , huh ? Warner Bros. sure put alot of effortinto making certain people knew it was come , but audiences ultimatelybounced offit pretty hard amid a year ofsuperhero moviesfizzling in theater .
To directorAndy Muschietti , the moving-picture show ’s biggest failing was that it did n’t fully find its hearing . In atranslatedinterview with Argentine electrical outlet Radio TU , he said it was n’t a proper “ 4 - quadrant ” movie : one that appeal to virile and distaff demographics both over and under the age of 25 years old . “ When you spend $ 200 million making a movie , Warner wants to bring even your grandmother to theaters , andThe Flashfailed at that , ” he explain . And while he acknowledged other factors could ’ve play a hand in thngs , like a case of superhero tiredness that year and the troubling allegations surrounding lead actorEzra Millerat the meter , he felt not a lot of audiences give care about the Scarlet Speedster , “ in particular two female quadrant , ” backed up bybox role reportsat the metre revealing its demographic snag leaned heavily towards men .

Everyone had their own individual rationality for avoidingThe Flash , be it everything surroundingMilleror just thinking it did n’t look like appointment viewing . The moment about folks not worry about Flash is … well , the CW ’s long - range show ( whichwrappedweeks before the movie hit ) partly put that to bed . What Muschietti likely have in mind is that interview did n’t care about the DCEU rendering , which is also a job with the pic . Miller ’s take on Barry Allen father somecool action scrap , but there was n’t really anything to make multitude care about him like they did ( and still do ) with that creation ’s other collection of characters , or would - be heroes likeGreen Lantern .
The Flash ’s cinematic future is presently up in the air right now , ditto mark any DC character not inSupermanor Muschietti’sBrave & the Bold . But if and when the speedster comes back , maybe make a adaptation of him people like that is n’t just mostly cribbed from Tom Holland ’s Spider - Man ?
