Ezra Miller's 'The Flash' set for speedy return as movie will hit theaters one week early
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Ezra Miller is coming back as the 'The Flash' sooner than you expected. It was announced by the officials that the film will now open one week earlier than previously scheduled and is set to arrive in theaters on June 16, 2023. It is a little confusing as earlier this year, Ezra Miller had a lot of controversies around him.
Over the past several years, the actor has come under scrutiny for choking a woman in Iceland, been accused of grooming children, faced multiple arrests for assault and burglary, and reportedly housed a mother and three young children on an unlicensed cannabis farm despite protests from their father. Apparently, the movie was already completed when Warner Bros executives reportedly paused future plans to include Miller in the DC universe earlier this year, but that still left the question of what to do with 'The Flash.' Regardless, Ezra Miller stars as Barry Allen aka 'The Flash' in the feature. The movie also stars Michael Keaton, back as 'Batman' for the first time since 1992, as well as Ben Affleck, also playing a version of 'Batman.' It will also introduce Sasha Calle as 'Supergirl.'

According to The Hollywood Report, it was announced that the film will now open one week earlier than previously scheduled and is set to arrive in theaters on June 16, 2023. The film had previously been scheduled to open on June 23, 2023. The change in release date will give 'The Flash' more time in theaters before the premiere of another eagerly anticipated release, 'Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny' starring Harrison Ford which will open on June 30, 2023. However, it is confirmed that the DCEU film will now open with Pixar's 'Elemental.'
The film is helmed by Andy Muschietti from a screenplay by Christina Hodson and stars Ezra Miller as Barry Allen, (also the titular character) alongside Ron Livingston, Michael Keaton, Kiersey Clemons, Michael Shannon, Antje Traue, Sasha Calle, and Ben Affleck. In the film, Barry travels back in time to prevent his mother's murder, which brings unintended consequences.
Recently Deadline has reported that the response to early test screenings for 'The Flash' has been overwhelmingly positive, with one anonymous source saying that the film is as good as Disney’s 'Spider-Man: No Way Home.' The film reportedly features nostalgia-invoking cameos from Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck that have played extremely well with fans.
