Recent Emmy winner Billy Crudup is in early negotiations to join Ezra Miller in “The Flash” film at Warner Bros. Pictures.
Crudup was cast to play Barry Allen’s incarcerated father several years ago when Rick Famuyiwa was onboard to direct. The film famously underwent a shift through multiple helmers and struggled to get out of development until the arrival of “IT” director Andy Muschietti.
Since then, the casting of Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck reprising their roles as different versions of Bruce Wayne/Batman has seen the feature pick up some serious steam with a shoot scheduled to kick off in London in 2021.
Christina Hodson helms the film which sees Flash go back in time to prevent the murder of his mother, an act that proves to have unintended consequences for his timeline.
Crudup did briefly play the role in scenes for Zack Snyder’s “Justice League” and that film’s new cut next year is expected to show more of his performance.
