The Flash
Another movie that likely won’t make its original 2018 release date is The Flash. Starring Ezra Miller, the speedster’s solo film has seen both Seth Grahame-Smith and Rick Famuyiwa vacate the director’s chair (as well as losing the involvement of Han Solo‘s Phil Lord and Chris Miller).
The latest word is that King Arthur: Legend of the Sword’s Joby Harold is penning a new page-one rewrite of the script in a bid to hook a new director. Kiersey Clemons and Billy Crudup are still signed up in the supporting roles of love interest Iris West and the Flash’s father Henry Allen, respectively, while Ray Fisher’s Cyborg is also said to appear in some form.
Shazam
Dwayne Johnson has been attached to the Shazam movie since it was first announced back in 2014 as the villain/anti-hero Black Adam, but so far he’s the only name officially announced to be connected to the project. However, it’s recently been reported that horror director David F. Sandberg is in talks to helm.
Despite the lack of momentum on this one at the moment, Shazam still has a lot of time left to make its planned release date of April 5th, 2019. It just may be a while before we hear anything more on it.
