Tom Cruise’s high praise for “The Flash” adds another wild twist to the movie’s already ridiculous timeline. For one, the actor is such a random person to make headlines for watching the movie, given that he has no connection to the film whatsoever. But who knows action better than Tom “Savior of the Cinema” Cruise?
Believe it or not, “The Flash” began development in 2014 when Warner Bros. announced the project with Ezra Miller playing the titular hero. Numerous directors boarded and left the project between then and now, but Miller remained committed to getting the film off the ground. Eventually, Warner Bros. landed on director Andy Muschietti (“IT”) and was able to complete production for “The Flash.”
However, Miller then began their string of headline-making actions, including numerous arrests and allegations of grooming. It seemed like a new story about the actor’s off-screen activities hit the internet every week, jeopardizing the future of “The Flash.” Many fans were understandably skeptical about the long-awaited movie, given the stories surrounding its production and the quality of recent DC releases. However, James Gunn’s opinion on it shined a ray of hope on the movie, and with Cruise recently echoing those comments, fans may begin to finally accept that something special is on the way as “The Flash” speeds towards its June 16 release date.
