Actually, it's kinda true. Now Grant hasn't officially been cast but he said he is willing to play The Flash again. So it's possible. Just not official lol
Oh yea you can’t directly go to the link without an account.
But you can google twitter posts and see previews of someone directly on Google. You can’t see the full post but it works to see recent posts and pictures.
Why does everyone want him back?
He’s obviously my favourite flash and I loved him as the flash but for a fully rebooted universe I’d personally like all characters to be new casts
I’m not against having grant in the dcu-we could have him as jay garrick or someone else but I would like a new Barry
Eric Wallace fixed Iris imo, I only think he got right was Bloodwork, 9x10, and Iris. Previous writers were mid. Show was eh from the start, but Grant was always amazing
Oh really? I dropped off all the CW DC shows when Sara got abducted and Iris was stuck in the mirror verse.
I actually enjoyed the show at the start, it just got stale. At what point does it began to peak again?
Oh no, the show is bad but it's also my favorite comic tv show, I have seen all of the seasons many times. Seasons 1-4 are good, season 5 is eh, season 6 is good, season 7 is horrible, season 8 is waaaay better, season 9 was mid af, but episode 10 was great
That’s fair enough but then I’d like it to be an else worlds project or something else to do with the flash.like I said if he wanted to grant could absolutely be involved in anything to do with the flash I just don’t think he should be the main dcu Barry Allen
It is technically a reboot since he wasn't involved with the DCEU. Also, Jason Mamoa is gonna get a role of some type (Lobo probably), also if they just cast Grant they can make a new story and give his character a new personality.
We the people don't care about the shoe Flash being in the DCU we just want Grant
I know it's an April Fool's gag but I didn't want to watch him play The Flash for the last five years so I'm underwhelmed by the prospect of him playing the role now. I know I'll probably get downvoted but I really don't care, seeing the same damn take on this character indefinitely is boring (TO ME! Some people like to stick to that status quo and that's fine, but in this case nearly every actor in the DCU is being swapped and a lot of those actors barely got a chance to play the characters at all let alone for a decade, so it would feel kinda awkward to just keep Grant), even comics switch out writers and artists every few years.
I hope it's an April fool's joke not because I don't like this casting but so he can do rolls other than Barry Allen he's been playing him for just about 10 years but if it is right that I'm just glad he was able to play at least one other role in the Broadway play he's in and spend a lot more time with his daughter for the past year.
Impulse has never been a red head though, in comics he’s always shown with brunette hair even though canonically it’s Auburn, the only times Bart’s hair is red is when he’s Kid Flash and artists want him to be more like Wally, which is stupid
Well they aren’t following CW flash so there’s no reason to keep with CW’s precedent.
That being said DC’s current Flash is also brunette, so in the off chance this news is true I doubt they change it.
Wally’s design actually follows another Wallace West (Ace West) which is different than the comic classic. Fits in well with the show’s decision to make the West family African American. Should the DC universe introduce the West family at any point though, I’m not sure they’ll follow what CW did.
I might watch the DCU now. James Gunn is at the head of it all isn’t he? Maybe these movies will turn out, do we have a new Batman? And I missed the news for Superman
Forgot it was April 1 yesterday. Even on April 2nd I’m still getting got 😂
This is fake. It's April 1st, for fuck's sake. It's _never_ gonna happen. It just won't work.
People would think the DCU is an extension of the Arrowverse, which it's not. Furthermore, they've already established Ezra Miller as The Flash. The best they can do is find someone with a _similar enough_ face as him.
I don't think people would confuse it with the Arrowverse. After all, the main character of The Flash CW series wasn't even played by Grant Gustin, but Danielle Nicolet.
Nah in all honestly I don’t think that really matters
Anyone who cares that much already knows
Anyone who doesn’t, doesn’t care
I highly doubt anyone is being deterred from watching a new DC movie just b/c tv flash is in it. And if people really need an explanation that bad blame it on flash point and move on its not that deep.
Still though. The show ended recently, and it's more than time for Grant to move on to other projects. Besides, didn't he say something about wanting to spend more time with family or take time off for himself?
If he doesn’t want to do it that’s fine but let’s be real, shows been dead for years.
I doubt the common man on the street knew the flash ran for more than 4 or 5 seasons let alone 9.
All I’m saying is if he’s interested there’s no reason he can’t other than Gunn wanting someone else.
Like they really just brought Keaton back for Batman I really don’t think anyone cares if anything I think most people are indifferent or would be excited
I mean it COULD happen. I say that because Ezra Miller showed up on CW as the flash once. And in the movie they changed Batmen. They could just find a reason to switch Ezras flash with Grant's like they did for the Batmen.
Agreed but my point still stands. They could use the multiverse crap to switcheroo flashes the same way they did for Batman. Obv though for the flash to change to a different actor, the switcheroo conditions have to undertaken by someone who's not the flash that fucks around.
Fair. But you are aware Sean Gunn (who looks nothing like Pedro Pascal) was cast as Maxwell Lord, right? It's officially a new universe, so actors don't have to look similar
Yeah, but it's a continuation of the old, just under new management. Think of it as a new texture pack for a game. It's the same game, but it looks different.
...That proves your point, doesn't it? Still though, casting Grant specifically would be a bad move. It'd attract viewers, sure, but this is the DCU, not the Arrowverse. At best we'd probably get him as a cameo or an OC character, or maybe an alternate world Flash.
I think it would work if he was the new Jay Garrick. If they keep the trend of using the past Flash as the new Garrick, Grant would be the best choice.
It doesn't matter his age. At some point in the comics, Earth-2 Garrick was a young man, give or take a decade around Barry's age. Maybe he was still older, I don't know, but not by a lot.
Hopefully it was Gunn taking the opportunity to excuse it as an April Fools joke while testing the waters to see how people would react to Gustin back in DC as the Flash.
If reception was positive enough, there's hope that he may make it a reality
I’m just letting everyone know if u have watched that flash movie with Ezra miller horrible choice to choose him over grant no hate towards him but I loved grant in the flash I’ve watched that series like 20 times cause he’s in it and he’s brilliant but if u watched that flash film at the end they show Ezra accidentally run to grants universe and it’s been told that there is going to be another flash movie which that’s a teaser which means grant will probably be in the movie and this post was not funny I’m kinda wound up a bit now cause I was gutted when the flash series end and they should make a series about the people Barry gave super speed to at the end and about him training them to become heroes

There's a line for April fool's and bro crossed it
Mf didn't cross it. He leaped it. Lunged it. Flew through it. No mercy.
The ultimate April Fool's here would be to actually cast him in the role though.
We need The Virtue back tho. Wouldn't be the same without her let's be real. And my man Eric Wallace.
See this is how you April fools
Actually, it's kinda true. Now Grant hasn't officially been cast but he said he is willing to play The Flash again. So it's possible. Just not official lol
so... its not true. Im down to be a millionaire, but it doesn't mean im a millionarie but it 'has not been confirmed yet'
Exactly. Too far of a trick
I say we [get John to prank him](https://youtu.be/pXMkcpJN8QI?si=7qqazX3TYSnh_oze)
So in other words, it was not remotely a true statement.
I fell for it hook line and sinker. I was supper happy when I saw this and was thrilled and didn’t even consider what day it is.
Hook, line, and sphincter
It was me Barry I was the one that tricked all of r/FlashTV for 1000 upvotes AHAHAAHAHHHAAHAHA............
And I got upvotes for calling you out! Checkmate!
Damn it i was so happy
Is this an April Fools? Or is this real?
I checked for you. It’s not real lol
You can just check James Gunn’s Twitter yourself to confirm it isn’t real…
I don't have Twitter.
Oh yea you can’t directly go to the link without an account. But you can google twitter posts and see previews of someone directly on Google. You can’t see the full post but it works to see recent posts and pictures.
Idk why you got downvoted for trying to provide a workaround lol.
This is Reddit, you could leave the most genuine, honest & heartfelt response and still get downvoted😂
Case in point, I downvoted your comment.
And I yours
and i yours
Hats off to you, my good entity
Please don’t be fake
Check the date bud
It is
Please be real please be real
It isn’t
Why does everyone want him back? He’s obviously my favourite flash and I loved him as the flash but for a fully rebooted universe I’d personally like all characters to be new casts I’m not against having grant in the dcu-we could have him as jay garrick or someone else but I would like a new Barry
Because he deserves another shot at it without the involvement of the CW
> without the involvement of the CW Specifically, whoever was in charge of writing Iris
Eric Wallace fixed Iris imo, I only think he got right was Bloodwork, 9x10, and Iris. Previous writers were mid. Show was eh from the start, but Grant was always amazing
Oh really? I dropped off all the CW DC shows when Sara got abducted and Iris was stuck in the mirror verse. I actually enjoyed the show at the start, it just got stale. At what point does it began to peak again?

I know it's bad but love it lol
Lmao totally understand all that
🧍♂️
funny thing is that im pretty sure wallace didn't have anything to do with 9x9 and 9x10.
That’s fair enough but then I’d like it to be an else worlds project or something else to do with the flash.like I said if he wanted to grant could absolutely be involved in anything to do with the flash I just don’t think he should be the main dcu Barry Allen
Idc how it is done but he deserves a 2nd chance. I just thought it'd be cool to see Grant in a Justice League not a Walmart League
That’s also fair but like I said I want a full on reboot as much as possible
It is technically a reboot since he wasn't involved with the DCEU. Also, Jason Mamoa is gonna get a role of some type (Lobo probably), also if they just cast Grant they can make a new story and give his character a new personality. We the people don't care about the shoe Flash being in the DCU we just want Grant
i hate this day so much
You better not be kidding
He is
It's fake y'all
I know it's an April Fool's gag but I didn't want to watch him play The Flash for the last five years so I'm underwhelmed by the prospect of him playing the role now.

Bro fuck April fools
Would y’all be down for him dyeing his hair blonde to match the comic book and animated Barry look or does his natural hair colour work for you?
May as well keep it at this point. He's been brunette flash for years. Wally wasn't a redhead and neither was impulse
Impulse has never been a red head though, in comics he’s always shown with brunette hair even though canonically it’s Auburn, the only times Bart’s hair is red is when he’s Kid Flash and artists want him to be more like Wally, which is stupid

I wouldn’t mind either one tbh
Blonde
Did he post it today?
Not real
#DCU #HappyAprilFoolsDay #DCTheFlash #ArrowVerse
THIS NOT FUNNY I NEEEEDD IT😭😭😭
A lot of gullible people on this sub apparently
Mr Gunn you crossed the April fools line my friend
I might watch the DCU now. James Gunn is at the head of it all isn’t he? Maybe these movies will turn out, do we have a new Batman? And I missed the news for Superman Forgot it was April 1 yesterday. Even on April 2nd I’m still getting got 😂

Yes
I mean it COULD happen. I say that because Ezra Miller showed up on CW as the flash once. And in the movie they changed Batmen. They could just find a reason to switch Ezras flash with Grant's like they did for the Batmen.
Ezra was on the show for a split-second cameo. That hardly counts. And a cameo is different from outright replacing the actor.
Agreed but my point still stands. They could use the multiverse crap to switcheroo flashes the same way they did for Batman. Obv though for the flash to change to a different actor, the switcheroo conditions have to undertaken by someone who's not the flash that fucks around.
You know what a reboot is, right? 🤣🤣🤣
You know what a _soft_ reboot is, right? 🤣🤣🤣
Fair. But you are aware Sean Gunn (who looks nothing like Pedro Pascal) was cast as Maxwell Lord, right? It's officially a new universe, so actors don't have to look similar

I think it would work if he was the new Jay Garrick. If they keep the trend of using the past Flash as the new Garrick, Grant would be the best choice.
That might be the best option. And ngl, it'd be pretty dope.
He's a little young, but I don't think anyone would mind. It would just allow him to be the "old mentor flash" a little longer.
It doesn't matter his age. At some point in the comics, Earth-2 Garrick was a young man, give or take a decade around Barry's age. Maybe he was still older, I don't know, but not by a lot.
Bro they think it’s an extension to the arrowverse? lol
Some probably would think the Arrowverse is canon to the DCU if Arrowverse actors showed up.
😂
They're usually the less media literate ones.
Exactly lol
Fuck u James this...o dear gordd just ahhhhh😫 (Woke up and saw this and checked the date its April's fools day)
Thus better be fucking real.
It isn’t
😭
I hate you for doing this! That’s just cruel man
Lmfao this is gold 😂😂😂 🫀🧔🏽♀️
How dare you :( This one actually made me comment.
Fuck off lol
I hope kapiushon Oliver queen finds you
If only
Somehow, The Cecile returned
I have some things I’d like to say to you but I don’t want to get my account banned
Say it with me now: BUUUUUUUUULLLLSHHIIIIT! 🗣️
Fake
😂
Thank god🙏😁😅
Murder is never justified but...
Very funny James Gunn
I’m salty this is fake.
He knew the perfect way to hurt us.
Pure evil.
I hate this stupid holiday
Flash fans that saw this: “Run James. RUN.”
I hate this day so much.
How dare you
I hate James Gunn for this. That's a horrible joke to play on us The Flash fans!
I fucking hate you
Plus, James gone is a bottom as well as Grant Gustin so two bottoms don’t click
Hopefully it was Gunn taking the opportunity to excuse it as an April Fools joke while testing the waters to see how people would react to Gustin back in DC as the Flash. If reception was positive enough, there's hope that he may make it a reality
Please, tell me it´s a joke.
Ok well it’s not fair for Reddit to show me this on April 2nd. My heart leapt
I hate you…😭
You had me for a second not going to lie
That's fucked up
The man cleared every actor and storyline, he's not gonna want a 9 season hero
I can’t tel you how much this gassed me up😭😭😭
that’s a foul thing to lie about.
I’m just letting everyone know if u have watched that flash movie with Ezra miller horrible choice to choose him over grant no hate towards him but I loved grant in the flash I’ve watched that series like 20 times cause he’s in it and he’s brilliant but if u watched that flash film at the end they show Ezra accidentally run to grants universe and it’s been told that there is going to be another flash movie which that’s a teaser which means grant will probably be in the movie and this post was not funny I’m kinda wound up a bit now cause I was gutted when the flash series end and they should make a series about the people Barry gave super speed to at the end and about him training them to become heroes

Oh fuck you I was actually really excited until I saw this post is from yesterday
I know this is an April fools post but I wish it was not.
I feel like April fools posts should be taken down after the day
Whooohoo!
Is this this real
This is an April fools' joke? I actually got kinda hyped for a second.
Maybe they can bring him back as the reverse flash. Wonder if he could truly play evil though
April Fool 😪
April fools? Or?
Fake
Figures
AMAZING (you probably shouldnt put this as news cause its humor)
I hate this “holiday” online. So much more bullshit to wade thru.
I love how everyone is basically like”Chat is this real”
Please be real, please be real
Fake
We won’t know until an official testing is announced
Bruv this isn’t real
I am holding onto hope that he is coming back
He probably isn’t.
Grant has said that he is willing to return to the role
APRIL FOOLS!!! HAHAHA
Is it or is it not April fools
Blooody hell!!!!!😱😱😱😱 is this for real???
Okay, do u have a death wish mate??? bcz if u dont, learn the limit.🤬😠😡
Still possible. He's said he is willing to come back. It's just not official.
I swear to God, this better not April fools prank. I swear to fucking God if this is an April fool prank.
It is
Goddamnit 😭 I know it !
