The Flash Movie: Warner Bros. Discovery CEO Praises New DC Film

Warner Bros. Discovery is currently holding their annual earnings call where CEO David Zaslav revealed some interesting things like new The Lord of the Rings movies. Zaslav also discussed the studios upcoming DC Studios releases like Shazam! Fury of the Gods, the Ezra Miller-led The Flash movie and the upcoming movies slate from James Gunn. The Flash has had a ton of controversy behind it, but if the first trailer or Gunn are to be believed, then we’re in for a good film. While explaining that they’re excited for all of the upcoming DC Studios releases, Zaslav revealed that he’s seen The Flash and it’s actually good.

“We’re also excited for the release of for DC films this year, starting with ‘Shazam‘ in two weeks, and followed by ‘The Flash,’ which James Gunn called one of the greatest superhero movies ever made a masterpiece,” Zaslav revealed in the earnings call. “I saw it and loved it. It’s a wow. I can’t wait for ‘The Flash‘ to hit the theaters in June.”

What is The Flash about?

Warner Bros. describes the film as follows: “Worlds collide in “The Flash” when Barry uses his superpowers to travel back in time in order to change the events of the past. But when his attempt to save his family inadvertently alters the future, Barry becomes trapped in a reality in which General Zod has returned, threatening annihilation, and there are no Super Heroes to turn to. That is, unless Barry can coax a very different Batman out of retirement and rescue an imprisoned Kryptonian… albeit not the one he’s looking for. Ultimately, to save the world that he is in and return to the future that he knows, Barry’s only hope is to race for his life. But will making the ultimate sacrifice be enough to reset the universe?”

What’s Happening at DC Studios? 

Gunn and Safran began their jobs as Co-CEO’s of DC Studios last year and it’s safe to say that the future of DC is looking bright. When the duo was announced by the new Warner Bros. Discovery boss, they released a statement on their excitement for the job.

“We’re honored to be the stewards of these DC characters we’ve loved since we were children,” Gunn and Safran added in a joint statement. “We look forward to collaborating with the most talented writers, directors, and actors in the world to create an integrated, multilayered universe that still allows for the individual expression of the artists involved. Our commitment to Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Harley Quinn, and the rest of the DC stable of characters is only equaled by our commitment to the wonder of human possibility these characters represent. We’re excited to invigorate the theatrical experience around the world as we tell some of the biggest, most beautiful, and grandest stories ever told.”
