Andy Muschietti Thinks The Spotlight Wasn’t For Everyone

After money We’ll see each other in civilization hell, The Flash they really came and went in 2023, huh? Warner Bros great effort to make sure that people know that it is coming, but the audience in the end he jumped it was very difficult during the year classic movies shaking in theaters.

To the director Andy Muschiettithe main problem of this film was that it did not find its audience. In a translated in an interview with Argentina’s Radio TU, he said that it was not a suitable “4-quadrant” movie: one that appeals to men and women over the age of 25. “If you spend $200 million to make a movie, Warner wants to bring even your grandmother to the theater, and The Flash he failed there,” he explained. And although he admitted that other factors could have contributed to the situation, such as the intense fatigue that year and the negative comments about the main player. Ezra Miller at the time, he felt that not many audiences cared about the Scarlet Speedster, “especially the two female quadrants,” with the help of box reports at a time when the demographic distribution was heavily skewed towards men.

About the failure of #TheFlashdirector, Andy Muschietti said:

Everyone had their own reasons for avoiding it The Flash, let it be all round Miller or just think it doesn’t look like watching time. What people don’t care about The Flash is… well, the CW’s long-running show (which wrapped up weeks before the film) puts this to bed. What Muschietti means is that audiences don’t care about the DCEU genre, which is also a problem with movies. Miller’s take on Barry Allen has some good thingsbut there was nothing to make people care about him like they did (and still do) with other groups of the universe, or would-be heroes like. Green Lantern.

The Flash’s movie future is up for grabs right now, as is every DC character who hasn’t been in it yet Superman or Muschietti Brave & the Bold. But if the runner does come back, maybe you can make him look like he’s not just taken from Tom Holland’s Spider-Man?
