“Of course, there’s an architecture in DC that is brewing and it’s being created. And the question is, will this new architecture absorb this story? The good thing about the multiverse is that it is possible. The multiverse allows all of these different worlds to coexist and interact, and so, hopefully, yes, I mean, we don’t know yet. That’s the truth.” Andy Muschietti added.

Update: That Flash Sequel Never Came — the DCU Rebooted Instead (2026)

Updated July 2026. The sequel teased here didn’t happen. The Flash (2023) underperformed badly, grossing just $271 million worldwide against a $220 million budget, and became one of the biggest box-office write-offs in superhero-movie history. Rather than build on it, new DC Studios co-head James Gunn shelved further Flash development and rebooted the DC Universe from scratch with Superman (2025), starring David Corenswet — pointedly leaving Ezra Miller’s version of the character behind. Gunn has said Flash and Aquaman won’t factor into the DCU’s first wave of films.
