After the fallout from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, the DCEU is finally starting to pull everything together. Not only did their latest (and also divisive) entry, Suicide Squad, make over 600 mil at the global box office, but recent news of Deathstroke being the big bad in Batfleck’s first solo outing as The Caped Crusader almost broke the internet today. It’s safe to say that golden boy Geoff Johns and the rest of the DC Film team have it under control, because the hype is real.

Justice League is already planning to set up Ezra Miller’s Flash as a breakout character in hopes of making his own solo outing a huge success. Other than his distinct early ’90s shoulder pads and well-defined crotch region, they are off to a damn good start. As we’ve already seen in the Justice League Comic-Con 2016 trailer, we know that The Flash will be Batfleck’s young protoge’ via an exciting scene where he accidentally gave away his superpowers.
As for The Flash movie itself, not much detail is known about the actual plot, other than there will be Rogues. However rumors started flying today as to who they would be noted by Jeff Sneider of Mashable via Twitter:
Seeing rumors about the Rogues in THE FLASH. FWIW, last week I heard villains are Rogues members Golden Glider and her bro Captain Cold.

Both Captain Cold and Golden Glider are classic Rogues of The Flash, as we’ve already seen what they are capable of in The CW’s The Flash television series. If these rumors are true, we might be seeing this sibling crime duo make the jump on the big screen, obviously with different actors. In the meantime, we can at least keep our fingers crossed that we’ll be seeing Jai Courtney’s Captain Boomerang appear, too.
Ezra Miller will star in 2018’s The Flash from Dope and Confirmation director Rick Famuyiwa. After first appearing in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and again briefly in Suicide Squad, Miller’s take on Barry Allen, the Fastest Man Alive, will make one last stop in next year’s Justice League before he finally gets his own movie, starring alongsideDope‘s Kiersey Clemons as Iris West and Justice League‘s Ray Fisher as Victor Stone, the Justice League member better known as Cyborg. The film is expected to film in London in 2017 and be released in the U.S. on March 16, 2018.
