It's perhaps not surprising that Dope director Rick Famuyiwa, who took over in charge of the Flash movie after the departure of Seth Grahame-Smith, might choose to work again with one of his talented cast members. The move comes as more evidence that the film is finally back on track after the sudden directorial change. Iris, in case you've never read the comics or see the TV series, is a journalist friend of Barry's and has, in some plot lines, been more than that (they've been married).
This once again represents the film getting back on track after the directorial switch, with Famuyiwa still working from Grahame-Smith's script draft, itself adapted from a treatment written by Phil Lord and Chris Miller, who were attached to direct before their schedules became a crazy teetering tower of premium projects.
Clemons' breakout in Dope has led to several jobs, and she's currently shooting a lead role in the Flatliners remake. The Flash should be in production later this year and is expected to dash into cinemas in 2018.
