During Zack Snyder’s Justice League, the director was asked why he did not choose Grant Gustin to portray the Flash in the film, as he was already playing the character in the ongoing CW series. However, Snyder said that he didn’t find him a good fit for the character, and decided to cast Ezra Miller. The American actor is once again set to portray Barry Allen in the 2023 film The Flash. CW’s The Flash series will also wrap up with its last season airing in 2023 and fans are not ready to let Gustin go.
The Krystal star was introduced as the Flash in Arrow’s second season and has been playing the character for almost a decade. And fans have made it clear it would be hard for anyone to be as good as Gustin in portraying the scarlet speedster.
Grant Gustin’s Final Run as The Flash
Grant Gustin made his debut as the Flash in the second season of CW’s Arrow. Followed by his appearance in the TV series, the scarlet speedster got his own show in 2014. CW’s The Flash became one of the most popular shows and aired for eight seasons until and is all set for its ninth and final season.
Earlier this year, the network declared that season 9 of the show will be its final season. There are also rumors that Gustin would make his last appearance as the scarlet speedster in the 2023 film The Flash. A promo for season 9 was released earlier this week and the A Haunting star has once again impressed fans as the Flash.
With the upcoming season, the show will become the longest-running Arrowverse series on CW, but it would still be the shortest season yet with 13 episodes. The Flash Season 9 would also be the last series to take place on the Earth-Prime from the Arrowverse.
Fans have been cheering for Gustin and hope that the creators give the show a better ending. They are also sure that the ninth and final season of the show would be the best one of the whole series.
Fans Pay Tribute to Grant Gustin For Being the Best Flash
Grant Gustin has been Barry Allen aka The Flash for almost a decade. With the show reaching the heights of popularity, the actor has also become popular as the Flash. However, fans were not so happy when the network announced that Season 9 will be the final season of the series and would bring it to a conclusion.
As the network released the first look of season 9, fans started expressing their gratitude towards Gustin for being the best Flash. Ezra Miller, who portrayed the character in Justice League, did portray the character quite well. However, their legal troubles and scandals also caused issues for the upcoming film.
After this fans started asking the studio to replace the Trainwreck star with Grant Gustin in the film. Although the studio has yet not declared anything officially, the Afterschool actor is not expected to continue in the character after the 2023 film.
