Joby Harold has been tapped to do rewrite “The Flash” script, TheWrap has learned.
The film, starring Ezra Miller as the titular speedy superhero, was originally set for a March 16, 2018, release. But it has been delayed as the studio wants to get the script right and is not rushing the project.
Fans got their first glimpse of Miller as the Flash in “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” last year. He also plays the part in the forthcoming “Justice League,” and appeared briefly as the fast comic book character in the summer hit “Suicide Squad.”
Harold’s credits for the studio include “King Arthur: Legend of the Sword,” “Robin Hood,” as well as a “Twilight Zone” film.
Following poor critical reception and sagging box office of “Batman v Superman,” Warner Bros retooled its comic book-based slate coming out of its DC Films unit.
Variety first reported Harold’s involvement with the project.
