The highly anticipated sequel to the 2023 DC film has been greenlit, marking the first time two iconic characters will share the screen in live-action DC history.
The film, titled 'The Flash 2', will introduce John Stewart, played by Aaron Pierre, who made his debut in HBO's 'Peacemaker' before crossing over into the film. Additionally, Milly Alcock's Supergirl will return, following her solo film this summer. As filming commences on July 9, 2027, director James Gunn has shed light on Lex Luthor's storyline, revealing that the villain's prison sentence has set off a dual timeline.
The timeline spans two decades, with one sequence beginning in 2016 and the other in 2026, making the show a prequel and present-day story simultaneously. The HBO series, 'The Flash', premiered on August 16th, and follows Barry Allen as he is stranded on a hostile planet with no established path home. Gunn confirmed that there are no plans for a third season of 'The Flash', meaning Chris's situation on Salvation was always intended to carry forward into future projects.
However, fans are left wondering about the fate of Chris on Salvation, as the film 'Brainiac' is set to explore the character of Brainiac, without addressing the significant gap in the timeline. A two-year stretch of in-universe time passes with one of the DCU's most prominent characters stranded and unaccounted for, with no movie or TV show in the calendar to address that significant gap.
The DC Universe's timeline structure has sparked debate among fans, with some advocating for real-time dates and others suggesting a push towards in-universe events. Fans are encouraged to share their thoughts on the matter in the comments below
