The DC Universe may have The Flash for a brand new technology.
@RoyalMaj3sty just lately shared paintings of what Percy Jackson and the Olympians‘ Walker Scobell may appear like as Wally West, a.ok.a. Child Flash, one of many many heroes within the DC canon to have carried The Flash mantle. Test it out beneath:
The DCU paintings comes after Scobell just lately opened up in an interview about wanting having dream roles in thoughts for James Gunn’s franchise. One of many gigs he expressed in desirous to painting was Wally as a Flash substitute following Gustin’s time with Barry Allen within the Arrowverse.
Walker Scobell: [If] they need to go like a younger Wally West, I may try this.
Gunn has beforehand said that whereas there isn’t any energetic growth on a challenge for the Scarlet Speedster at DC Studios, he’s a fan of each Barry and Wally. He requested in 2025 concerning the path of the DCU’s Flash with the query, “By way of your choice for those that run quick, do you want them blonde or as redheads?”
The DC Studios co-CEO responded with, “I like them each. I like blondes and redheads.” Many have additionally been hoping that Gustin would reprise the position of the quickest man alive within the DCU, as he completed The Flash TV present in 2023 on The CW.
The DCU’s Chapter 1: “Gods and Monsters” slate has established that this can be a franchise the place many superheroes are already established, together with Superman and Batman. With the various Flashes that exist within the canon, it is fairly attainable that Barry is much into his journey as the enduring hero.
With HBO’s Lanterns establishing Hal Jordan as a veteran Emerald Knight, it would not be stunning that Barry is probably depicted as near his age, which might pave the best way for somebody like Wally to be arrange as the subsequent speedster. Scobell, whose stardom has solely been on the rise through the years, has already seen lots of help in him as Wally for Gunn’s DCU.
As there are different priorities at DC Studios, The Flash could also be utilized as a supporting participant via different motion pictures and TV reveals. Whereas the DCEU film timeline did not have the perfect run with the speedsters, the DCU will hopefully have higher outcomes.
