'The Flash' New Movie News: Directors Phil Lord & Chris Miller Rumored to Direct Superhero Film
Warner Bros. DC movie lineup has gotten fans in high anticipation for the comic book universe to finally receive a cinematic universe much like the Marvel one.
Among the solo superhero films was 'The Flash,' which has already announced actor Ezra Miller to helm the role as the scarlet speedster, although while it was assumed that Zack Snyder would be directing the feature, it appears that Warner Bros. may be recruiting some other talent, namely Phil Lord and Chris Miller.
The news came from El Mayimbe and Meet the Movie Press podcast featuring Jeff Sneider of The Wrap. In the video, he states:
"We've heard a bit of a tug of war going on between Warner Bros. and Sony, which would like the same two directors for one of its big franchise movies... If Warner Bros. wanted them for The Flash, and Sony wanted them for a Ghostbusters movie, which would Lord and Miller do?"
This is still considered a rumor as Sneider has not yet reported this on his publication.
"Several years ago, Sony was courting Lord and Miller to do a third Ghostbusters but at that time they passed on it. The film then went to Paul Feig. Sony loves the duo, though, and with a second Ghostbusters movie in now development - a Channing Tatum film that likely lost its directors when the Russos signed onto to Avengers 3 and 4 - Lord and Miller might be a good fit," writes Slash Films.
