Ezra Miller's 'The Flash' Begins Production, Michael Keaton To Return As Batman In The DC Superhero Film

Michael Keaton has been confirmed to return as Batman in the upcoming DC superhero film, "The Flash" which has started production in London on Monday (April 19). Keaton will be returning as Batman nearly after 30 years to appear alongside Ezra Miller in Warner Bros' long-awaited film. ## The production start of "The Flash" comes after over six years since the Ezra Miller-led superhero film was first announced in 2014. Andy Muschietti is directing the project with sister Barbara Muschietti serving as a producer through their recently formed production company Double Dream. The film is scheduled to arrive in theaters on November 4, 2022.## Keaton's arrival as Batman is massive news for the DC fans. However, the actor recently raised the eyebrows of his fans when he hinted in an interview with Deadline that he might not do "The Flash" because of his concerns about the COVID-19 situation in the UK. ## "To be honest with you, you know what worries me more than anything about all this stuff? It's COVID. I'm more concerned. I keep my eye more on the COVID situation in the UK than anything. That will determine everything, and so that's why I'm living outside the city here on 17 acres, staying away from everybody, because the COVID thing has got me really concerned. So, that's my first thing about all projects", Keaton has said. ## Keaton first played Batman in Tim Burton's 1989 blockbuster of the same name before making his final appearance in 1992's "Batman Returns". And now, after nearly 30 years, we will finally get to see Keaton's version of Batman since we last show him. Interestingly, Ben Affleck will also be reprising his version of Bruce Wayne/Batman for the film, "The Flash". ## The story of "The Flash" sees Ezra Miller as Barry Allen travel back in time to prevent the death of his mother. The result? Allen inadvertently creates another universe protected by Keaton's Batman, now 30 years older. It stars Ezra Miller as Barry Allen / The Flash, alongside Ben Affleck, Michael Keaton, Sasha Calle, Kiersey Clemons, Maribel Verdú, and Ron Livingston. ## Stay tuned...

This movie delivers on so many fronts, the trailer leaves so much meat on the bone and that's what I am really excited about," Cena added.## F9 was originally scheduled for worldwide release in April 2019 but was delayed several times, first due to the releases of Hobbs & Shaw (2019) and No Time to Die (2021), and then the COVID-19 pandemic.

Netflix Acquires Streaming Rights To Sony Feature Films Starting In 2022 In US

The leading streaming giant, Netflix has grabbed gold by signing a new multiyear deal with Sony Pictures. According to the contract, Netflix will be the first to stream Sony Feature Films beginning from 2022 after they complete their theatrical run in the USA. These films include Uncharted, Morbius, Bullet Train & Where The Crawdads Sing, along with future sequels to Venom, Jumanji, Bad Boys & Spiderman: Into The Spider-Verse.## Sony Pictures' primary pay-TV partner has been Starz, now owned by Lionsgate, since 2006. The new theatrical output deal with Netflix is believed to run about five years and is said to have worth hundreds of millions of dollars to the studio over the term. Industry sources said (according to Variety) Sony executives are working on another significant theatrical movie licensing pact outside the Netflix agreement.## Netflix is an obvious first pay window choice for Sony, given that the company already has a deal for its animated releases with Netflix. But the new deal is far more comprehensive and will see Sony's theatrical films from its Columbia Pictures, Sony Pictures Classics, Screen Gems, and TriStar Pictures studios all head to Netflix after completing their theatrical run. ## Starting in 2022, Netflix will be the first US streaming home for Sony Pictures films following their theatrical releases. Get ready for UNCHARTED, MORBIUS, BULLET TRAIN & WHERE THE CRAWDADS SING, plus future sequels to VENOM, JUMANJI, BAD BOYS & SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE— NetflixFilm (@NetflixFilm) April 8, 2021 ## The new deal will also provide Netflix a first look at any of Sony's original movies produced for the direct-to-streaming market. But it doesn't stop Sony from selling direct-to-streaming titles to Netflix's rivals. In that case, however, Netflix would have to pass on the project for Sony to be able to sell it to another streamer.## "Netflix has been a terrific partner as we continue to expand our relationship. At Sony Pictures, we produce some of the biggest blockbusters and the most creative, original films in the industry. This exciting agreement further demonstrates the importance of that content to our distribution partners as they grow their audiences and deliver the very best in entertainment", said Keith Le Goy, SPE's president of worldwide distribution and networks, in a statement. ## Meanwhile, the new deal between Sony and Netflix won't include "Venom: Let There Be Carnage" and "Spider-Man: No Way Home" because they release this year. ## Stay tuned...
