The director of The Flash movie made the decision to exclude Gustin's Flash due to the overwhelming number of cameos. However, there is still a possibility for Gustin to make a cameo in a different DC project that explores the multiverse.
Following his exclusion from The Flash movie, Grant Gustin from Arrowverse finally receives the deserved cameo recognition in new fan art. Despite the initial excitement surrounding the film, The Flash turned out to be one of the biggest box office failures of 2023 and one of the most disappointing superhero movies of all time. The film heavily emphasized the multiverse concept and featured numerous cameos from different DC live-action franchises, paying homage to various corners of the DC universe.
One of the most criticized aspects of The Flash was the lack of cameos featuring Gustin's Barry Allen from the Arrowverse. Fans have expressed frustration both before and after the DCEU film's release, and many have fantasized about what it would have been like to see Gustin in the movie.
A recent fan art shared by @thecw_arrowverse_ depicts Gustin's Flash crossing paths with Ezra Miller's version of the DC speedster once again. The artwork envisions Gustin's character informing the other Barry about the Flashpoint storyline, which loosely inspired The Flash movie, and setting the stage for an exciting collaboration. For viewers of The Flash TV show, they may remember when season 3 had its own interpretation of the Flashpoint arc for a few episodes.
Why Did The Flash Movie Ignore The Arrowverse And Grant Gustin's Flash?
It's strange that The Flash movie didn't include Gustin's Flash and ignored the Arrowverse, especially considering the number of other cameos that did happen. It was exciting when Miller's character appeared in "Crisis on Infinite Earths" on The Flash show and interacted with Gustin's Barry, breaking the barrier between the DCEU and DCTV shows. Miller's cameo seemed to suggest that Gustin might have a role in the DCEU film.
The Flash movie director, Andy Muschietti, has addressed why Gustin didn't appear in the DC movie. He explained, "We had a long list of potential cameos, and we had to make choices." This explanation faced criticism, especially considering the inclusion of non-actor-specific Jay Garrick and the extended sequence featuring Cage's Superman, which could have been shorter.
The release of James Gunn's DC Universe through DC Studios will determine if the fastest man alive will return to the big screen. It is hoped that if there is another multiversal The Flash project, the creative team will find a way to include Gustin in a cameo role, which he should have had in the 2023 film. Currently, Gustin's involvement in The Flash or any other DC movie is restricted to fan edits and imaginative speculation.
