The Flash featuring Ezra Miller was released a few months back. There were a lot of expectations around the film as it was the first film since the transfer of power of DC to James Gunn and Peter Safran. The film also boasted a strong star cast including Ben Affleck, Michael Keaton, George Clooney, and more. However, the film could not do well at the box office, leading to poor ratings and reviews. It seems the makers will learn from their mistakes with the potential sequel of the movie.
Talks about the sequel to Ezra Miller’s The Flash are making rounds on social media, and fans are excited about the entry of the Flash’s nemesis, Reverse Flash in the film. There are also speculations about the actor who would be best suited for the role.

Who is Reverse Flash and why is he Flash’s enemy?
As we delve into the details of the villains in the Flash comic books, one of the most prominent names is Reverse Flash. Director Andy Muschietti confirmed that Reverse Flash was the one who murdered Nora Allen, Barry Allen’s mother,
“Well, Reverse Flash is the elephant in the room, right? It feels like you can’t make another movie without addressing the one that, in all accounts, is the murderer of Barry’s mom. So, it feels like the big villain.”
As per Muschietti, the character, Reverse Flash, would be shown in the sequel following The Flash. In that film, Barry would finally confront the man who murdered his mother.
Reverse Flash exists in the James Gunn-led DC universe, however, there can be some changes to the inclusion of the character in future films.

With the ongoing Writers’ Strike and the poor performance of The Flash, there is no certainty on the release date of the sequel film.
