Andy Muschietti (Mama, IT, IT: Chapter Two) has been set to direct feature film The Flash for DC, and The Wrap reports a huge shocker of an update on that project this afternoon.
According to the site, Michael Keaton is in talks to play Bruce Wayne in Muschietti’s The Flash, the character he of course first played in Tim Burton’s two Batman movies!
The Wrap explains, “Talks with Keaton are in the very early stages, it is far from a sure thing, and can go either way. No details are currently available about how big or small Keaton’s role is.”
Ezra Miller is currently still set to play the title character in the WB/DC movie, which will see The Flash travel back in time and “inadvertently create another universe.” The film will explore the idea of a “multiverse” existing with the DC Cinematic Universe, allowing for Michael Keaton’s Bruce Wayne to serve as something of a mentor to the young Barry Allen.
Reportedly, Keaton’s Bruce Wayne could also appear in subsequent DC films as well.
