Tom Cruise has seen Andy Muschietti’s The Flash and apparently, he loves it.
The Flash is an upcoming standalone superhero film and the 13th installment in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). It stars Ezra Miller as Barry Allen / The Flash, a role he reprises from 2021’s Zack Snyder’s Justice League and previous appearances.
According to a report in The Hollywood Reporter, Tom Cruise met with Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav in late February. During the meeting, Zaslav mentioned how well The Flash has turned out and Cruise requested to see it.
A Warners employee delivered the film to Cruise’s home in Beverly Hills and stayed until the actor finished watching it, insiders told The Hollywood Reporter,
