Breaking News: The Genius Behind The Flash To Take On Batman!

Andy Muschietti, the director of The Flash movie, is reportedly being considered to direct Batman: The Brave and The Bold for James Gunn's new DC Universe. As the DCEU draws to a close, Gunn and Peter Safran are working on a fresh start for Warner Bros. Discovery with an interconnected DC franchise. The Flash, starring Ezra Miller as Barry Allen, is one of the last DCEU films on the release calendar. It seems that Muschietti is interested in continuing his involvement with the DC franchise beyond 2023. According to The Hollywood Reporter, he is currently the top choice to direct Batman: The Brave and The Bold, which will be part of DC Studios' Chapter 1, "Gods and Monsters." Although Muschietti has not yet signed a deal and there is no script, rumors of his involvement with the Batman reboot have been circulating for weeks. Neither DC Studios nor Muschietti's representatives have commented on the report at this time.

Why DC Wants Andy Muschietti To Direct The Brave & The Bold

Muschietti's potential involvement in the Batman reboot is not surprising considering his solid relationship with Warner Bros. following the commercial success of the It films. His proven ability to navigate large studio systems and handle valuable IP franchises was a major factor in his selection to direct The Flash, a project that had long been stuck in development before Muschietti took the helm. With principal photography already underway and the movie set to release soon, his track record of success bodes well for his potential involvement in the new Batman film.

Once The Flash hits theaters and its success is evaluated, Warner Bros. is expected to finalize a deal with Muschietti. Having already directed the Dark Knight in a DC movie with Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck's versions appearing in Miller's film, directing Batman: The Brave and The Bold would be a huge opportunity for Muschietti. Fans eagerly await news on the project's progress.
