‘The Flash’ Movie Updates: Rick Famuyiwa Teases Possible Cyborg Appearance in Standalone Film in DCEU; Ezra Miller’s Hero Teams Up with Ray Fisher’s?

‘The Flash’ director Rick Famuyiwa teased a possible appearance by Cyborg in a cryptic new photograph posted on Twitter. The post fueled more rumors that Ezra Miller’s The Flash may team up with Cyborg in the hero’s first ever standalone film in the DCEU.

According to Cinema Blend, Famuyiwa recently posted a cryptic photograph of the feet of two action figures on his social media account. The Twitter post featured what looked to be The Flash’s own yellow boots and iconic red super suit while the owner of the other pair of feet was yet to be identified. It was quickly speculated that the silver boots belonged to none other than Victor Stone a.k.a. Cyborg.

The strategically positioned Funko Pop vinyl figures were placed over a draft of the film’s screenplay titled “current revisions by Rick Famuyiwa based on the characters in DC comics. Rumors of Cyborg’s appearance in The Flash’s first ever standalone film in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) were in full force since last month to which the director responded with the hashtag #sayswho.

Although Cyborg’s involvement in ‘The Flash’ film is yet to be confirmed, producers hinted of a blossoming friendship between Ezra Miller’s The Flash and Ray Fisher’s Cyborg in Zack Snyder’s upcoming ‘Justice League’ film, according to Comicbook.com.

Executive producer Deborah Snyder said during a previous interview with Forbes, "David Ayer’s Suicide Squad has such an amazing, brash tone. It’s fun and it’s about the villains, and it’s super-different than Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman, which is an origin story and tells her story.”

Snyder continued, “As you can imagine, when we get to the Flash movie, Ezra Miller and Ray Fisher — who plays Cyborg — are kind of our youngest characters, and they have a really nice camaraderie with each other. Ezra is super funny, so the tone of that film will be very different than the rest of them."

Cyborg is set to make his official DCEU appearance in ‘Justice League’ although he already made a cameo in ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’ as a disgruntled youth attached with alien technology on a video from S.T.A.R. Labs.

 ‘The Flash’ is an upcoming action-adventure and fantasy film directed by Rick Famuyiwa based on a screenplay by Seth Grahame-Smith. It is produced by DC Comics, DC Entertainment, and Warner Bros.

The film is scheduled to premiere in theaters on March 16, 2018 and is intended as the sixth installment in the DCEU following 2017’s ‘Wonder Woman’ and ‘The Justice League’.
