Lord & Miller Met With DC About The Flash Before Leaving Han Solo

Phil Lord and Chris Miller reportedly met with DC Films about directing The Flash movie during a production hiatus on Lucasfilm’sHan Solo. Warner Bros’ DC Extended Universe officially launched last year with the premiere of Zack Snyder’s Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, which introduced a host of new heroes to the world that kicked off in Man of Steel. Among those heroes were Batman (Ben Affleck), Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), Aquaman (Jason Momoa), The Flash (Ezra Miller), and Cyborg(Ray Fisher) – all of which were planned to receive solo movies. However, though The Flash was announced as part of the original DCEU slate, it has since lost two directors and is currently without a director and release date.

Since the departure of The Flash movie’s last director, Rick Famuyiwa, Warner Bros and DC Films have been looking for replacements. Now, a new report claims they met with Lord and Miller – the creative partnership well known for their work on The LEGO Movie and21 Jump Street – while the directing duo were on a production hiatus from another blockbuster franchise installment.
