I know, you’re probably asking yourself “Wasn’t Kiersey Clemons always in The Flash“? Well, sorta. It’s been about four years since she was cast as Iris West in the film, along with appearing in Justice League. Not only were her scenes with Ezra Miller cut from Joss Whedon’s version of the superhero teamup film, but The Flash has been…well, troubled ever since, leaving Clemons’ involvement on shaky ground.
Well now it’s been reported by THR that Clemons is back as part of The Flash cast, with shooting expected to begin in April. Production has been saddled by a revolving door of filmmakers, but also because of Miller’s busy Fantastic Beasts schedule. However, that has all been ironed out and things are ready to roll with Andy Muschietti behind the camera.
The Flash will also feature Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck playing different versions of Batman, as the DC Universe concept of the Multiverse gets introduced. Also in the film is Sascha Calle as Supergirl, although it’s unclear if she’ll be of the regular universe or from an alternate one.
Clemons’ scenes have been restored for Zack Snyder’s Justice League, so we’ll finally be able to see Barry Allen rescue Iris West, leading to what should be a romantic pairing in The Flash. The film is currently set to open on November 4th 2022.
