Doctor Manhattan to play Barry Allen’s father in The Flash movie

Ezra Miller is playing Barry Allen / The Flash in the DC cinematic universe. We have already seen him briefly in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad. Although I really like The Flash TV show, it does seem that Miller has the right approach for the film version.

Rick Famuyiwa (Dope) is directing the film and Kiersey Clemons is playing Iris West. Billy Crudup (Almost Famous) is in talks to join the film as Barry’s father.

Crudup played Doctor Manhattan in Zack Snyder’s adaptation of Watchmen, so he is not new to the world of comic books. He’s a great actor and a great addition to the cast. Not sure how big a role it will be, but nice to know he is involved.
