The Flash Movie Production Halted Following Batcycle Crash Involving Crew Member

Glasgow Live brings word that production on Warner Bros.’ The Flash movie has been halted following an accident on set in the UK. According to the outlet, a camera operator “collided with Batman on his Batcycle from behind” during filming on Renfield Street, injuring the crew member.

The camera operator was reportedly “on a motorcycle shooting Batman from behind while travelling at speed down Renfield Street, before he collided with the stunt double and went under the Batcycle near to the junction of West George Street.”

An ambulance was called to the scene, and an eyewitness shared with the outlet that “the crew clapped as the ambulance then left the scene, suggesting the crew member was taken to [the] hospital.”

The Flash movie sees Ezra Miller reprising his role as the DCEU’s Scarlet Speedster/ Barry Allen, who he first portrayed in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Justice League, and Zack Snyder’s Justice League. He also made a surprise appearance in 2019 during The CW’s Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover event.

Joining Miller are Kiersey Clemons as Iris West, Maribel Verdú as Nora Allen, and on-the-rise star Sasha Calle (The Young and the Restless) signing on to star as Supergirl, becoming only the second actress to ever portray the character on the big screen. Golden Globe nominee Ron Livingston has also been cast to replace Billy Crudup as Henry Allen. It has been confirmed that Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck will be reprising their respective versions of Bruce Wayne/Batman for the film.

Warner Bros. first revealed that their Flash film would be inspired by Geoff Johns and Andy Kubert’s Flashpoint comic as early as 2017, even going so far as to change the project’s title to Flashpoint, but after last year’s announcement of its 2022 release date, it was subsequently changed over to its current title.
