Warners is high on the sequel, with the title being the only movie the studio will be showcasing at the upcoming San Diego Comic-Con. His adaptation of It, released in 2017, was a critical and commercial hit, making over $700 million worldwide. Muschietti hails from the horror world and made his feature debut with Mama, the 2013 thriller that starred Jessica Chastain.

By May, the studio rejected his approach, but concluded that Miller should still remain the Scarlet Speedster. That script was submitted to the studio in March. The two sides have been working on compromises since last year, but Miller then made the unusual move to take it upon himself to pen his own script, enlisting the aid of comics superstar Morrison. Miller, who has played the character since 2016’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, favored a darker approach, while Goldstein and Daley, the pair who wrote Spider-Man: Homecoming and were behind the comedy hit Game Night, wanted the opposite. The tensions surfaced around what kind of take was the best fit for a Flash movie. But months of tensions over creative differences bogged down the project, with the duo deciding it was time to move on and find new opportunities. At one point, the project seemed like it was heading toward a start date in late 2019. The pair have been with the project since January 2018, writing the script and developing it to direct.

Goldstein and Daley’s exit is described as voluntarily, according to multiple sources. Official offers are expected to go out shortly.

The goal is to be in prep by January.ĭealmaking has not yet begun, stress insiders. Instead, Warners will hire Christina Hodson, the scribe behind Bumblebee and the studio’s upcoming DC movie, the Margot Robbie-fronted Birds of Prey, to tackle the script. But in a further development, the studio won’t be moving forward with the script Miller co-wrote with comics author Grant Morrison.
