James Gunn Shuts Down Fresh Flash Casting Frenzy, Says No DCU Search Is Underway

He reiterated that no casting happens before a finished script, calling Elliot Page rumors baseless.

Overview

  • Responding on Threads to a fan post about Grant Gustin and Elliot Page, Gunn said he loves Gustin and "doesn't know what Elliot has to do with anything."
  • DC Studios’ policy remains script-first, and Gunn restated that a Flash movie is not in development because there is no complete, viable script.
  • Grant Gustin has said he has never discussed the Flash role with Gunn, though viral photos of him with blonde hair recently fueled fresh fan speculation.
  • Reports emphasize there are no credible indications that Elliot Page is being considered, and the circulating claim was unfounded.
  • Coverage continues to note Ezra Miller is not expected to return as the Flash, with the 2023 film drawing mixed reception and weak box office despite earlier studio backing.
