Is The Flash In Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice?
Costume Designer hints at a "glimpse" of hero in the film.
Well, that was quick - just days after the trailer hit we have more Batman V Superman news; costume designer Michael Wilkinson has seemingly confirmed the addition of Ezra Miller's The Flash to Dawn Of Justice. Speaking with Portuguese site Omelette, Wilkinson said that "Im not really at the liberty to talk about The Flash right now, but its something that youll be seeing in the future in our films. You do get a glimpse of him, of course, in Batman v Superman." BvS was always looking fairly crowded with cameos - Aquaman and Cyborg are said to appear - let alone the inclusion of Wonder Woman, who seems to have a fairly big part, but after much speculation is seems Barry Allen (surely?) will indeed pop up. Ultimately I think it'll just be distracting, a kind of pop culture show of force on the studio's part; a bit like "Hey, never mind that other superhero cinematic universe! Check out who we have!" It is their prerogative, I suppose, and fans (myself included) will legitimately be excited to see The Flash and all the others on screen, so it kinda makes sense, I guess. Although Ezra Miller feels like more of a Wally West-type to me, Wilkinson seems enthused about his casting as Barry Allen.
"...Im really looking forward to taking the amazing, iconic costume for The Flash and interpreting it in a fresh way where Ezra Miller is playing The Flash... Hes an extraordinary performer, he has a sort of interesting sense of humour and the youth that will be great for Barry Allen and I think hes going to make a great Flash."Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice will be released on 25th March 2016.
