Warner Bros.'s upcoming The Flash movie won't make it to theaters before the New Year. As part of a wider rescheduling of films from the studio, Ezra Miller's solo film as the lightning-fast superhero was pushed back to June 23, 2023 following COVID-19 production delays, joining the Jason Momoa-led Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom in moving back a year. It was originally slated to premiere in theaters in November after the previously scheduled Black Adam, which now debuts in October.

It's a disappointing set of news, especially after seeing DC's sizzle reel of superhero films last month that gave a brief glimpse of Miller and his retractable eye visors. The film has been one of DC's biggest upcoming releases in part because of how much hype director Andy Muschietti has been stirring up on social media, but because it'll also be the first time Miller's Flash will be the star of the show in a DC film. Beyond that, some sort of movie involving the fastest man alive has been on DC's mind since 2004, further stoking the flames of a Flash fandom hungry to see the hero in his own feature film.
