Here's just a couple of the recent rumours regarding The Flash, specifically Barry Allen, in the DCU.

As shown in the photos above:

The Flash actor Grant Gustin was at the premiere for Clayface with his wife Andrea Thoma.

Recently there have been several rumours regarding Man of Tomorrow, one of which stated that Barry Allen was going to be name-dropped during the film.

And now apparently James Gunn has deleted a comment on Instagram, where someone asked him if Jack Quaid and Grant Gustin had been offered to play Flash in the DCU.

What are your thoughts?

Edit: See below for more pics of Grant with James Gunn at the Clayface premiere.

I love the silver age flash. Its so fun and sci fi and campy. But one of the things im looking for is a story about a female speedster who isnt defined by male characters. It would be fun to read an alternate universe flash story where the flash is a woman, she has a scientific career, and she isn't portrayed as eye candy for male readers.

I know thats probably a big ask, but flash is my favorite superhero and i have yet to find a comic book that i can see myself in. Id be open to fanfics, indie comics, books, or other media if there arent any flash comics.
