The Flash Director Set to Helm Next Batman Film

Andy Muschietti, the director of The Flash movie, has hinted at the possibility of being involved with DC Studios' upcoming Batman: The Brave and The Bold project. This new venture is part of the DC Universe, spearheaded by James Gunn and Peter Safran. One of the notable projects announced in January is the cinematic reboot of Batman, following The Batman. Although the lead actor is yet to be confirmed, Muschietti's name has been circulating as a potential candidate to direct the film. In a recent interview with Narcity Canada, Muschietti was asked about the rumors and what he would do if given the opportunity to direct a Batman movie. The filmmaker's response was intriguing.

Oh...I don't think I can talk to that...yet.

Why Andy Muschietti Makes Sense To Direct The Brave And The Bold

The rumors surrounding Muschietti directing Batman: The Brave and The Bold have yet to be confirmed or denied by DC Studios. However, it would be a logical choice considering the positive reception of The Flash in early screenings, with some already hailing it as one of DC's strongest films in recent years. If The Flash proves to be a box office hit, it would only make sense for DC to bring Muschietti back for another project in the future.

Muschietti's established relationship with Warner Bros. Discovery, having directed both It films and The Flash, makes him an ideal candidate for their new DC Universe. Gunn and Safran have praised Muschietti's work on The Flash, and with his experience working with two Batman actors, it's no surprise if he's announced as the director for Batman: The Brave and The Bold after The Flash's release. Perhaps a deal has already been locked down, but regardless, fans can anticipate the announcement of the director soon.
