‘The Flash’ Brings Back Kiersey Clemons To Play Iris West Five Years After She Was Originally Cast

THR has the scoop that Kiersey Clemons will play Iris West in The Flash. Clemons is no stranger to the role – she played the character in Justice League, but her scene ended up on the cutting room floor (and reports indicate her scene was cut even before that film was taken over by Joss Whedon). Zack Snyder has since restored the scene for his upcoming Zack Snyder’s Justice League, and now Clemons is confirmed for The Flash as well.
Now, the film is in the hands of It director Andy Muschietti, and Clemons is back. She joins Ezra Miller, who is once again playing Barry Allen/The Flash. Also part of the cast: Micheal Keaton, who will reprise the role of Batman. But he’s not the only Batman expected to appear – Ben Affleck’s take on the Caped Crusader is said to have a role in the film, too, suggesting that The Flash is going to deal with alternate universes. Also in the film: Sasha Calle, who will play Supergirl. Muschietti is directing a script by Christina Hodson, who also wrote the DC flick Birds of Prey.
The Flash is expected to start shooting this April, and is currently set to open on November 4, 2022.
