Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Flash will reportedly be recast for the new DC Universe, and with Ezra Miller out, some actors would be perfect to take over as the speedster. Miller debuted as Barry Allen as a cameo in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, then had a major role in 2017's Justice League before getting to lead The Flash's cast in the hero's first solo movie.
10 Garrett Hedlund Hedlund has experience with a franchise that features more outlandish elements like The Flash. Hedlund played Sam Flynn in Tron: Legacy, which showed the actor's ability to be the face of an action-heavy franchise. Playing the DCU's Flash would allow Hedlund to finally have a long-running franchise role, as Tron failed to do that despite the actor being excellent in it.
6 Logan Lerman While Aquaman might be too on the nose, Logan Lerman would be a great pick to serve as a young Barry Allen in Gunn's DC Universe. The actor became famous for playing the lead role of Poseidon's son in two Percy Jackson movies, and Lerman was perfect as the charming, fierce, and loyal Percy, making him a great choice to play Barry. Lerman has also shown his acting range with a role in the war movie Fury and hunting Nazis in Amazon's Hunters series.
4 George MacKay George MacKay played the lead role of William Schofield in one of the best war movies of all time, Sam Mendes' 1917. The film followed MacKay's character running around during World War I, with the actor hardly having any lines. That setup led to MacKay showing his incredible range, as he could express through facial expressions and body language all the fear and adrenaline his character was experiencing.
