Flash | Andy Muschietti has a four hour version of the film | tomatoes

The multiversal theme is increasingly recurring in movie theaters. The cinematographic spaces saw how Spider-Man, in two different films, introduced this concept. From Spider-Man: A New Universe – 100% and Spider-Man: No Way Home – 92%, the spider movies, even last year’s Best Picture winner, Everything everywhere at the same time – 91% are some of the works that address alternate realities and variant versions of their characters. Now, with the recent release of The Flash – 60%, DC Studios is committed to entering the multiverse game.

The film, directed by Andy Muschietti and starring Ezra Miller, has hit theaters over the weekend, and with it, the scarlet speedster presents different dimensions during his race against time. One of the most anticipated versions, since its confirmation, is the Batman played by Michael Keaton, which is very different from the last Batman, that of Ben Affleck. Added to this is the first film appearance of Supergirl, played by Sasha Calle, who takes the place of Superman played by Henry Cavill from Zack Snyder’s movies.

That ‘hall of fame’ of great characters and actors… there are so many that the list was endless. We had to choose, we had to choose.

At the film’s climax, when Flash opens up worlds within worlds, even more versions of the DC heroes of yore are glimpsed. These nods to ancient DC superheroes add an exciting element for fans and show love for the legacy of these iconic characters. The film even ventured to present scenes from a Superman movie that never saw its premiere and ruled out the presence of other actors who have brought these characters to life for its final cut, such as Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman; Marlon Brando, Superman’s father from the 1978 film; Burgess Meredith and Cesar Romero as Penguin and Joker from Batman: The Movie – 80%, respectively.

Maybe. I’m definitely happier with this version than the four hour version.

During a question and answer session after the screening of Flash (via Vanity Fair), the director of It (Eso) – 85% revealed interesting details about the process of creating the film. The director mentioned that he had originally created a four-hour version, but ultimately settled on a shorter version of around two hours and 35 minutes. Although he acknowledges that there were many interesting scenes and cameos that were not included in the final film, he claims that this is the best version of his work.

Michael hadn’t worn the suit in 30 years, and in fact, the last time he wore the suit, his son Sean, who is now a talented music producer with his own family, was a toddler. So, he put on his suit and the guy looked fucking great.

One of the most exciting moments in the movie is the return of Michael Keaton as Batman. Convincing Keaton to reprise the role after 30 years required persuasion and a meal at an Italian restaurant. The Muschietti describe Keaton as energetic and committed to the role, and the actor was excited to be donning the Batman suit again. The suit’s design was also modified to allow for more mobility, as Keaton had difficulties with the original suit.

We don’t talk about it. I think we’re all waiting to see how this movie fares. Of course, there is enthusiasm to continue the story, especially if this movie is successful.

The movie does open up the possibility of a sequel, but Andy Muschietti mentions that it hasn’t been officially discussed yet. The Flash’s box office performance is expected to determine the future of the franchise. Muschietti highlights the constantly evolving architecture of the DC universe, referring to the multiverse as responsible for different universes interacting with each other and allowing the structure of new DC projects to continue to grow.
