Ron Livingston was chosen to play Henry Allen, the father of Flash, also known as Barry Allen, at Warner Bros. and DC Films The Flash. Crudup fell out of the project due to scheduling conflicts. Ezra Miller is on board to play the title character with Kiersey Clemons set to play Iris West. Sasha Calle is also on board to play Supergirl in the film and Maribel Verdu will play Barry’s mother.
This director Andy Muscheitti is directing the photo 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 unraveled, but it is known that it will involve alternate dimensions and time travel with the hero trying to save his mother from the murder.
Livingston, best known for the 1999 comedy “Office Space”, was most recently seen on ABC’s A million small pieces. He is represented by UTA And Thruline Entertainment.
