Back in April, DCEU producerDeborah Snydermade a surprising revelation, confirming thatRay Fisher’sCyborgwill be joiningEzra Miller’s Barry Allen in Warner Bros.' stand aloneFlashmovie. The producer teased that they both have a, “really nice camaraderie with each other,” while seemingly hinting that this movie may break the studio’s unspoken “no jokes” rule, stating that film will have a “different tone.” While we don’t have any updates on the tone, we do have confirmation thatRay Fisherhas in fact signed on to star inThe Flash.
Variety’s report doesn’t indicate how large or smallRay Fisher’s role is, but he signs on just weeks afterKiersey Clemonssigned on to star asIris West. Earlier in July, we reported thatKiersey Clemonswas the studio’s top choice for the Iris West Role, withRita OraandLucy Boyntonlisted as the other top candidates. Another recent report revealed there are several other DC Comics characters yet to be cast.
Back in April, a report surfaced that claimed there were four moreDC Comicscharacters yet to be cast, aside from Iris West, Eobard Thawne, Fred Chyre, Len Snart and Jay Garrick. That report also revealed that this version of Iris West is a reporter for the Central City Citizen, with Eobard Thawne described as Central City’sBill Gates. Fred Chyre is said to be a detective who befriends Barry after they meet at a crime scene, while Len Snart, a.k.a. Captain Cold is said to be working as “hired muscle” for Thawne. Jay Garrick will only have a cameo as a Central University professor who was fired for his work in fringe sciences and with the speed force.
WhileKiersey Clemons' casting as Iris West certainly lent some validity to that report from April, it hasn’t been confirmed yet that Eobard Thawne, Fred Chyre, Captain Cold or Jay Garrick will be joiningEzra Miller’s Barry Allen. It’s also worth noting that report surfaced before directorSeth Grahame-Smithdropped out of the project, and was replaced byRick Famuyiwa, so it’s possible that the new director will bring in different characters, but we don’t know for sure.
