Phil Lord And Chris Miller Are Developing The Flash Movie

Warner Bros. is continuing it's trend of bringing in high end talent to further it's DC comic book films. Today, Deadline has confirmed that the studio has tapped directors/writers Chris Miller and Phil Lord (21 Jump St.) to develop the story for 2018's The Flash with a possibility that they may also direct the film. The duo do a great job of mixing action and comedy so this is some great news for Flash fans. Especially for the ones who were irked by Ezra Miller's casting.

I'm a huge fan of Miller and Lord. The guys have knocked it out of the park the last few years with the Jump St. franchise and The Lego Movie. They have qualities that work well with the Flash's universe.

The biggest plus of adding this duo is that it puts an end to that bullshit rumor that DC films will have a "no humor" policy. These bros excel at writing humor. One can easily surmise that The Flash script they write will have plenty of it.

Miller and Lord have past running credentials

Now all I can think about is ridiculous casting possibilities that Lord + Miller could make happen:

Jonah Hill as Captain Cold

Rob Riggle as Gorilla Grodd

Dave Franco as the Trickster

Ice Cube as Captain Frye

Channing Tatum as Heat Wave

Elizabeth Banks as Golden Glider

Sounds crazy, but I would be all in on that cast.
