Will The Flash Movie Crossover with the TV Show?

Ever since Warner Bros. started crafting their DC Extended Universe (DCEU) for the big screen, some fans have been disappointed that the movie side won’t be connected to the burgeoning DC TV universe. The biggest opportunity for any sort of crossover is withThe Flash, which hasEzra Millerstarring as the movie version of Barry Allen andGrant Gustinheading into his third season as the speedster on The CW series of the same name. During a recent interview,Ezra Millerteased that there may be some sort of crossover between both Barrys after all.

You may recall that, earlier this year,Grant Gustintook to social media to ask his fans to stop “bashing"Ezra Miller, stating that he “fully supports” his casting. However, this May,The FlashTV series starTom CavanaughdissedZack Snyderfor overlookingGrant Gustinas the movie version ofThe Flash. During a recent interview withMTV,Ezra Millerteased that both of theseBarry Allen’s may end up meeting at some point. Here’s what he had to say aboutGrant Gustin.

“He’s a boss. I can’t wait to see him, eye to eye, adrift in the Speed Force - our eyes will lock and, in that moment, we will both know the truth. What truth? I dare not say.”

Of course, it’s possible thatEzra Milleris only joking about “meeting” this other Barry Allen in the Speed Force, but then again, it’s also possible that Warner Bros. has changed their mind about connecting the movie universe with the TV universe. After all, their first two DCEU films,Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justiceand last weekend’sSuicide Squadwere both torn to shreds by critics, so perhaps the studio is now considering crossing the TV world into the movie world. WhileEzra Millerwouldn’t expand on those comments, he did talk about working with directorRick Famuyiwa.

“I think there’s just an intention to make something extremely fun and something superhuman and something deeply human. It’s the thing we’re all trying to do, but I thinkRick’s mind and his heart are in an excellent place, and his expertise as a filmmaker, as evidenced byDope, all come together as very exciting factors to me. It’s hard when talking about Rick to not use the word dope too many times. It’s the Brooklyn in me; dope is a big part of my vernacular.”

Warner Bros. announced at their Hall H Comic-Con panel thatKiersey Clemons, who starred inRick Famuyiwa’sDopeand this summer’s comedy sequelNeighbors 2: Sorority Rising, has come aboard to play Iris West in this new superhero adventure.Ezra Millerwouldn’t say much about his new co-star, but he did reveal that they had an incredible chemistry read together. Here’s what he had to say below.

“Kierseyis amazing. I had the opportunity to read with her and do some explorative acting in our chemistry read … the results of these experiments clearly were positive. I’m just deeply excited about what these people carry in their hearts, and I’m excited about the radical intention that everybody seems to be bringing to the genesis chamber of this film.”

Back in April, a new report revealed that Iris West is one of five DC Comics characters who are currently being cast, along with Eobard Thawne, Fred Chyre, Len Snart and Jay Garrick. We don’t know for sure when these roles will be filled, or when exactly production will begin, butEzra Millerteased one of his biggest influences in researchingThe Flash, comic book legendGrant Morrison. Here’s what he had to say about his interactions withGrant Morrison.

“Grant Morrison is my absolute Guruji when it comes to The Flash and the mythos of the comic book - these two-dimensional realities that we engage with in our three-dimensional world. Us trying to understand those beings is as ludicrous as those two-dimensional beings trying to understand us, and yet there’s something about The Flash that we can relate to on a uniquely human level.”

Back in April, producerDeborah Snyderteased thatCyborg(Ray Fisher) will be featured inThe Flashmovie. The movie hits theaters on August 16, 2025, just a few months afterJustice Leaguearrives on July 28, 2025. It isn’t known if any other members of theJustice Leaguewill be dropping by inThe Flash, but we’ll be sure to keep you posted with more updates as soon as we have them.
