'''''The Flash''''' is an upcoming American [[superhero film]] based on the [[DC Comics|DC]] character [[Flash (Barry Allen)|of the same name]]. Produced by [[Warner Bros. Pictures]], [[DC Studios|DC Films]], Double Dream, and the Disco Factory, and set for distribution by Warner Bros. Pictures, it is intended to be the 13th film in the [[DC Extended Universe]] (DCEU). The film is directed by [[Andy Muschietti]] from a [[screenplay]] by [[Christina Hodson]] and stars [[Ezra Miller]] as [[Barry Allen (DC Extended Universe)|Barry Allen / The Flash]] alongside [[Ron Livingston]], [[Michael Keaton]], [[Kiersey Clemons]], [[Michael Shannon]], [[Antje Traue]], [[Sasha Calle]], and [[Ben Affleck]]. In the film, Barry [[Time travel|travels back in time]] to prevent his mother's murder, which brings unintended consequences.
Development of a film featuring the Flash began in the late 1980s, with multiple writers and directors attached to the project through 2014. The film was then redeveloped as a part of the DCEU, with Miller cast as the title character. Multiple directors were attached to the film over the following years, with [[Seth Grahame-Smith]], [[Rick Famuyiwa]], and the duo of [[John Francis Daley]] and [[Jonathan Goldstein (filmmaker)|Jonathan Goldstein]] each departing the project due to creative differences. Muschietti and Hodson joined the film in July 2019, and pre-production began in January 2020. The film is influenced by the comic book storyline ''[[Flashpoint (comics)|Flashpoint]]'', featuring multiple DC
''The Flash'' is scheduled to be released in the [[United States]] on June 23, 2023, following multiple delays caused by the director changes, the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], and [[post-production]] setbacks. A sequel is in development.

=== Development ===
==== Early attempts ====
Development of a film based on the [[DC Comics|DC]] character the [[Flash (comics)|Flash]] began in the late 1980s when [[Warner Bros.]] hired comic book writer [[Jeph Loeb]] to write a screenplay.<ref name="LoebScript" /> Warner Bros. hired [[David S. Goyer]] to write, direct, and produce a new version of ''The Flash'' in December 2004 after he impressed them with his script for ''[[Batman Begins]]'' (2005).<ref name="GoyerHelm" /><ref name="GoyerChoice" /> Goyer approached [[Ryan Reynolds]] to portray [[Wally West|Wally West / The Flash]] after working with him on the [[Marvel Comics]]-based film ''[[Blade: Trinity]]'' (2004), and intended to have the character [[Flash (Barry Allen)|Barry Allen]] appear in a supporting role. Goyer was influenced for the film's tone by [[Sam Raimi]]'s [[Spider-Man (2002 film series)|''Spider-Man'' trilogy]] and the Flash comic book runs by [[Mike Baron]], [[Mark Waid]], and [[Geoff Johns]]. By early February 2007, Goyer left the project due to creative differences with the studio,<ref name="GoyerChoice" /><ref name="GoyerBooted" /> and [[Shawn Levy]] was hired to direct and oversee the writing of a new draft written by [[Chris Brancato]], which used elements from Goyer's script.<ref name="LevyHelm" /><ref name="Brancato" /> Later that month, Warner Bros. announced the development of a [[Justice League]] film with Michelle and [[Kieran Mulroney]] writing the screenplay.<ref name="JusticeLeague" /> [[George Miller (filmmaker)|George Miller]] signed on to direct the film, entitled ''[[Justice League: Mortal]]'', in September,<ref name="GeorgeMiller" /> with [[Adam Brody]] cast as the Flash.<ref name="AdamBrody" /> It was envisioned as the start of a franchise with planned sequels and spin-offs, including the Flash film.<ref name="GeorgeMiller" />
Levy left ''The Flash'' in October 2007 due to scheduling conflicts with ''[[Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian]]'' (2009). [[David Dobkin (director)|David Dobkin]] took over as director and began developing the film as a spin-off from ''Justice League: Mortal'' with a focus on Wally West.<ref name="DobkinDirect" /> [[Craig Wright (playwright)|Craig Wright]] was writing a [[script]] for the film the next month,<ref name="WrightScript" /> before ''Justice League: Mortal'' was canceled and Warner Bros. set a 2008 release for ''The Flash''.<ref name="2008Release" /> Further development was delayed due to the [[2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike]].<ref name="WGAStrikeDelay" /> [[Charles Roven]] joined the project as a producer by July 2009, with Geoff Johns consulting and writing a [[film treatment]] that [[Dan Mazeau]] adapted into a screenplay.<ref name="RovenJohns" /> In October, Roven said the studio was not confident enough in their take to greenlight the film, though Mazeau disputed this and said the film was moving forward as planned.<ref name="RovenMazeauTalks" /> In June 2010, ''[[Green Lantern (film)|Green Lantern]]'' (2011) writers [[Greg Berlanti]], [[Michael Green (writer)|Michael Green]], and [[Marc Guggenheim]] were hired to write a new treatment for ''The Flash'' based on a recent comics run by Johns that featured Barry Allen.<ref name="GLFlashWriters" />
