Maribel Verdú, best known to the international public for her work on Alfonso Cuaron’s Y Tu Mama Tambien and Guillermo del Toro Pot maze, will play a key role in The Flash, who is preparing for a spring-summer shoot in England.
But, at the same time that the mother wins, she is losing the father. Sources say THR that Billy Crudup, who was supposed to play the role of father, left the project. Crudup must also film the new season of The Morning Show, for which he won an Emmy and conflicting schedules. (Many productions are facing conflicts by juggling tight schedules thanks to the pandemic, with quarantines on both sides of the Atlantic forcing restrictions on the availability of actors.)
The movements come as Kiersey Clemons, who has been associated with Flare through various incarnations, he straightened his schedule and closed his deal this week. She is playing Iris West, Allen’s romantic interest.
Ezra Miller is starring as the Flash in the DC movie that will also feature Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck as multiverse versions of Batman.
This director Andy Muschietti is directing from a script written by Christina Hodson. Barbara Muschietti and Michael Disco are producing, while Marianne Jenkins is serving as an executive producer.
The plot details are being kept sealed in Allen’s ring, but it is known that it will involve alternate dimensions and time travel with the hero trying to save his mother from being murdered at one point in the plot.
Verdú is a veteran of Spanish cinema and television and has been nominated several times for the country’s Goya Prize, winning twice.
