While we don’t know much about the firstFlashsolo movie that Warner Bros. is working on, we may now know who the villains are. A new report is claiming that Captain Cold and Golden Glider are set to square off with Barry on the big screen. There are a lot of fans of CW’sThe FlashTV series who are a little upset thatGrant Gustinisn’t playing Barry Allen in the DC Extended Universe movies, and this may give them a little bit more reason to get grumpy, as both of those characters have appeared in the show as significant villains.
According to aTweetfrom Mashable’sJeff Sneider, the sibling duo will be the featured villains inThe Flashsolo movie, which is due out in 2018. This comes just after a report from /Film claimed that the Rogues were set to be the bad guys inThe Flashmovie. Captain Cold and Golden Glider are members of the team, but there are several members of the team, such as Heat Wave,Weather Wizardand Trickster, who are supposedly going to be left out. There is already some evidence that the Rogues are being set in the DCEU.
“Seeing rumors about the Rogues inThe Flash. FWIW, last week I heard villains areRogues membersGolden Glider and her bro Captain Cold.”
Captain Boomerangis also a member of the Rogues, and he recently made is DCEU appearance inSuicide Squad, as played byJai Courtney. In the movie, The Flash made a very brief cameo in which he foiled Captain Boomerang, which resulted in him being in prison. That is why he wound up fighting alongside Harley Quinn and Deadshot inSuicide Squad.The Flashmovie could easily use that altercation as some connective tissue to set up the Rogues in the future.
Both of these rumored villains for the newFlash moviehave been introduced on CW’sThe Flash, with Captain Cold played byWentworth Miller, who also plays the character onLegends of Tomorrow, and Golden Glider played byPeyton List. While the footage fromJustice Leaguethat heavily featuredEzra Milleras Barry Allen has been well received, there is still some animosity fromGrant Gustinfans. The CW’sThe Flashis very well regarded, and the movies so far in the DCEU have not been, for the most part. So, bringing in villains fans of the show are already used to could be piling on.
For those who may not be familiar,Captain Coldis the leader of the Rogues and is one of the most classic adversaries inThe Flashcomics. He is a master tactician and his main power is a gun that can freeze things, sort of like Mr. Freeze inBatman and Robin. Golden Glider is his sister who is an expert figure skater and has the ability to move at very high speeds. So, the two go together very well.Ezra Millerwill next be seen as Barry Allen inJustice League, which is set for release on August 06, 2025.Rick Famuyiwais directingThe Flashsolo movie, which is due out on June 29, 2025.
