RUMOR: These Are The Villains THE FLASH Will Square Off With In His Upcoming Solo Movie
Take this with a pinch of salt for the time being, but the villains who will take on the Fastest Man Alive in The Flash movie have been revealed, and if true, it may not be who you're expecting...
It was back in April that we first saw a possible cast list for The Flash movie, and among those named on that was "Len Snart" (who it was said would be shown to be working alongside Eobard Thawne). However, it appears as if something may have changed since Rick Famuyiwa was hired to direct as the same source - The Wrap's Umberto Gonzalez - now says that The Rogues will be the movie's big bads.
According to Heroic Hollywood, he revealed via Periscope that The Flash will square off with the villainous team in his movie. Who will make up the roster remains to be seen, but this could explain why we've never seen The Rogues assemble in the television series as Warner Bros. have been saving them. There's some time to go before The Flash is released, so don't expect confirmation for a while!
The CW series has done such a great job with the Reverse-Flash that it's almost a relief to hear that he won't be used in this movie, and it's about time that The Rogues get the live-action treatment...
