Anyone who was heartbroken when the Ryan Reynolds-led Flash movie appeared to break down awhile back will read this item with great interest: According to an MTV Movies report, we might get to see Reynolds wear a lightning bolt on his chest after all.
The latest talk — sparked by comments Reynolds made to MTV‘s Shawn Adler — springs from recent reports of Warner Bros.’ planned Justice League of America adaptation, a project which would presumably feature the Flash. Questions of Reynolds’ involvement in JLA, as well as questions of a Flash spinoff, are only natural — and Reynolds was perfectly forthcoming, telling MTV:
“‘The Flash’ isn’t dead at all. There’s talk of it being a JLA movie, the Justice League having them all together. And then there’s other talk of doing a ‘Flash’ movie with [director] Shawn Levy.”
Given that we’re hearing reports of a mad dash toward production on JLA, it seems reasonable to expect that any solo Flash projects will come later on, something Reynolds seems to agree with. From the article:
When asked if he thought the JLA film might happen first, Reynolds told us, “[it] might, yeah. I don’t really know how much I’m allowed to talk about that stuff. But I’m sure they’ll figure out something. It’s no secret that they have a JLA script and it’s a project that’s in development — the contents of which, who knows. We’ll see.”
