Famuyiwa replaced Seth Grahame-Smith, who dropped out of the project due to creative differences, as director for "The Flash" movie in June. Alex Gartner, Geoff Johns, Dan Mazer and Charles Roven produce the film. The superhero flick is set for a March 16, 2018 release in U.S. theaters.
Miller's The Flash, who already made his debut in "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice", is also set to appear in the upcoming "Justice League" alongside full roster of iconic DC heroes, including Ben Affleck's Batman, Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman, Ray Fisher's Cyborg, Henry Cavill's Superman and Jason Momoa's Aquaman.
