FlashKiersey Clemons has been cast in The Flash film adaptation. This actress will take on the role of Iris West.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Clemons will star alongside Ezra Miller who will play the titular superhero (a.k.a. Barry Allen). The theatrical release date has been scheduled for 2018.

Here’s more from Variety: “The Flash had to overcome the hurdle of replacing the film’s original director, Seth Grahame-Smith, who parted ways with the project over creative differences. Dope helmer Rick Famuyiwa took over directing duties in June. The movie, however, appears to be able to meet its planned start date. Production is expected to commence sometime this year.” (via ScreenCrush)
