The Flashis racing to the big screen and, ahead of this summer’s release of the movie that will define the future of the DC Universe, more details are appearing from the Speed Force, letting fans know just how many surprises they can expect. According toNerdist,Andy Muschiettispoke about some of the cameos that couldn’t make the cut for the movie, due to scheduling conflicts or simply because their appearances wouldn’t have fit in the narrative. Given how the filmmaker is dealing with a multiversal story, the characters that were supposed to show up were familiar faces.
Grant Gustinwas one of the cameos that were initially suggested forThe Flash, but since a place couldn’t be found for him within the story, he couldn’t be a part of the production. The actor has been playing Barry Allen in thetelevision series of the same nameover the course of a decade, developing the character from a young boy obsessed with solving the mystery behind his mother’s death, to the hero Central City can always rely on. The Scarlet Speedster even met Miller’s version of Allenduring a crossover eventthat took place in 2020, making the choice to pass on Gustin’s appearance even more baffling.
Some of the other characters that were meant to jump into action during the movie that has been in development before Gustin’s show began to air weren’t even directly connected to The Flash.Lynda Carter’s version of Wonder Woman was left on the cutting room floor, while it remains to be seen if evenGal Gadot’s version will be able to pop up for a second. On the other hand,Marlon Brando’s Jor-El fromSupermanwas also considered, but eventually dropped. Digitally brining back actors that have passed away has always been complicated, making that decision completely understandable.
