Seems like a very small timeframe to film flash though, it'll most likely get delayed to late 2020 perhaps which means probably a 2022 release date may be on the horizon for the movie.

This better not be the case, as said above, if Miller keeps acting like Harry Potter is a bigger priority than DC then there’s the door.

WB produces both series.   They're the one's doing hiring, scheduling and prioritizing.

Fantastic Beasts is a dying franchise. The next one's all but guaranteed to make sub-$600m worldwide, so why are they still prioritizing it without doing any creative changes?

They need to delay Fantastic Beast and turns those next 3 films into 2 to wrap up the series. So much filler and set up in CoG. A Flash movie with a 125-150 million budget would be a gold mine for WB.

They surely are rejigging it behind the scenes...that's why it's delayed.  But if you mean prioritizing over something like The Flash, well...it's a pre-existing franchise that still, despite the muted reception to this one, has more money tied up in it worth taking one more shot at, than taking an much-chancier gamble on a spin-off of a currently-dead team franchise.

Like Wonder Woman, Aquaman or Birds of Prey? 🤔

 

The real reason would be that Warner has many attractive choices for their next DC movie, while FB3 is the only current project in the Wizarding World.

No, like Justice League and its iterations.  That's why I was very precise in my wording. 

 

And possibly true, on the second statement.

No matter how you word it, there is nothing that makes The Flash a "much-chancier gamble" than what Aquaman was supposed to be (in fact, Aquaman was less famous and much ridiculed before the DCEU).

I would love to be a fly on the wall for the WB/dc meetings. I’m so curious if this will be made ever.

 

I’ve been so hopeful for so long for this but it just seems like it’s one thing after another. And now that we basically know we probably won’t be seeing another Superman movie for a while that tells me they aren’t afraid to shelve other A list characters in favour of some lesser known lower budget projects. 

 

The comic book movie landscape is so huge now that it’s really not that risky to take a chance on some lesser known characters as long as the budgets are kept in line. And the rewards can be huge if the movie hits big.

Didn't say that.  But I would be willing to bet that the immediate audience reactions post-JL and/or opinion cards would tell you that even amidst all the other problems of that film, Momoa still came off better for most people (and ultimately exuded more confidence in a spin-off) than Miller and his character did...

[Heat Vision]

They should focus on Flash instead of Fantastic Beast. FB needs rewrites and probably a new director. Flash has so much potential. The only major superhero left without a solo film.

This was from that article a few days ago from that test screener from JL. Seems like flash and Aquaman were about the same. 

 

”When we did our test screenings, one of the questions on the surveys that we asked various sample audiences were rank the characters in the film. Wonder Woman stood at the top, Aquaman and Flash were roughly neck and neck down the stretch - and it was more Flash just because of his comic relief, his geeky comic relief type of thing - but women and men alike liked Aquaman, they liked Jason Momoa. ... [He] had universal appeal to both men and women as being a marketable commodity and Batman and Superman fell way at the bottom of the list.”

[Darth Lehnsherr]

And people wonder why WB is in no rush get Batman and Superman solo films made

Read this. I wonder how they would have felt about Batman and Superman in the Snyder version.

Good question. We’ll probably never know though.

Couldn't those test screenings have been for the Snyder version? 

[DlAMONDZ]

Safe to say this movie is pretty much dead, right?

[TMP]

Suicide Squad 2 and Fantastic Beasts 3 getting priority over this is pretty sad. Had a lot of potential tbh, certainly a lot more than another Harry Potter prequel

[ChipDerby]

With the writers/directors still attached to this, no it's not dead. Though it's disconcerting to see them starting to announce DC stuff, and this isn't even mentioned.

[JGAR4LIFE]

I have a feeling Ezra himself is killing this. The movie was a top priority at Warner Bros., but he picked Fantastic Beasts 3.
