The announcement of the Flash movie send many fans of the DC superhero in frenzy. However, if there is one group that is not happy with the arrival of the scarlet speedster in the big screen, those are the fans of the ongoing CW Network the Flash series. This is because Grant Gustin, who currently stars as Barry Allen in the 2014 series, was not selected to play the highly-coveted role. Reports say it will be Ezra Miller of Perks of Being a Wallflower.
Although it is unlikely that Gustin will be in the Flash movie for the title role, fans still don't give up. They continue to vouch for the 24-year old actor. Even Arrow star Stephen Amell thinks Gustin would be robbed of the job.
Talking to Wall Street Journal's Speak Easy, the Canadian actor, who also has his own show being regarded as one of the best comics-based TV series right now, thinks the Flash series star Grant Gustin should be the one who will do the movie.
"And I feel like it should be Grant doing the movie. But the important thing to remember is just because Grant Gustin plays the part of Barry Allen doesn't mean Ezra Miller can't also play Barry Allen. There can be different interpretations of the character. Anyone who is a fan of the comics knows the Flash character is one of the forces that leads to parallel universes."
Aside from talking about the Flash series and Grant Gustin, he also said that he is hoping he'll be included in a movie that will feature Green Arrow.
"And who knows, they might find a fantastic actor to play Oliver Queen on the feature side who has a different take on the character. I'm certainly a departure from the typical Oliver Queen from the comic books. I just think that everybody needs to be patient with the whole thing. The fact that DC and Warner have announced all these comic book features is nothing but good for business."
There's not much news yet on the Flash movie. But if you have suggestions on who you want to play Stephen Amell, watch the CW Network's The Flash series and you be the judge.
