The Flash director Andy Muschietti has spoken out about why he thinks his 2023 DC movie delivered disappointing box office takings.Starring Ezra Miller as speedy hero Barry Allen, The Flash made a not-insignificant $271 million (£222 million) at the global box-office.

The point of this movie is what?’”During the interview, Hanks confirmed that he’s never met with either Kevin Feige or James Gunn to discuss joining the DC or Marvel Cinematic Universes.He did share some positive feelings towards superhero movies, saying: “There was a period of time, and I felt this way too, where we would see DC and MCU movies in order to see these better versions of ourselves.
