Ray Fisher, who played the superhero Cyborg in this year's “Batman V Superman” and will again in next year's “Justice League,” will reprise the role at least one more time in “The Flash,” the first big-screen starring vehicle for DC Comics’ Barry Allen, the fastest man alive.
There’s no word as to how much screen time Fisher will get in “The Flash,” nor any word as to whether Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, Henry Cavill or any of the other DC Comics movie actors will pop up.
“The Flash” will mark the fourth time Ezra Miller plays Allen, following the scarlet speedster’s appearances in “Batman V Superman,” "Suicide Squad" and “Justice League.”
In the comics I grew up with, Barry Allen was more likely to hang out with Green Lantern Hal Jordan – while Cyborg would pal around in the Teen Titans with Barry’s nephew Wally West, the Kid Flash. But the movie Cyborg is played by a fellow about five years older than Miller.
“The Flash” movie is the brainchild of “Lego Movie” writer-directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller, so I imagine it leans toward action comedy. Rick Famuyiwa, writer-director of the 2015 comic crime drama “Dope,” directs “The Flash” from a story by Lord and Miller.
Fisher is reportedly one of three actors cast for "The Flash"; Kiersey Clemons, who played Diggy in "Dope," has reportedly been signed to play Barry's love interest Iris West.
