Director David Dobkin ("Fred Claus") has signed on to helm "The Flash" reports MTV News.

Dobkin ("Wedding Crashers") says his adaptation won't be the character's first appearance in theaters, with the Flash a major part of George Miller's Justice League movie.

Dobkin confirmed that his movie will be set in the same universe as Justice League as a direct spin-off, meaning whoever they cast for 'League' will likely reprise the role.

He added that the Flash they will use is "Wally West." Shawn Levy and David Goyer were previously attached to direct.
