There is no doubt that, after the setback of ‘Black Adam’ and ‘Shazam! The fury of the gods’, DC needs to start building interest in ‘The Flash’ now, so the movie doesn’t hit the box office. The film, which seemed cursed after the fall from grace of Ezra Miller, seems to be getting off the ground and creating some expectations thanks to the appearance of Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck as two very different Batmans from the multiverse. The latest publicity hook has come from the hands of the biggest star in Hollywood today: Tom Cruise.
Top Flash
In February, Cruise met with David Zaslav, CEO of Warner Bros., who was talking about how good ‘The Flash’ was. AND Tom, who couldn’t wait until June 16, asked for a copy to be sent home. Of course, the tycoon, knowing that he had a completely free publicity stunt at his fingertips, He offered to finally see her last week.
During viewing, a representative from Warner stayed with the actor and producer until it was finished, to make sure there would be no leak (and, by the way, to see the megastar’s mansion). Tom Cruise’s reaction was so good that he even called his director, Andy Muschietti, without notifying her or arranging a meeting, just to talk about her. Advantages of living in Hollywood.
Parroting in a way what Steven Spielberg told him during the nominees luncheon, Cruise stated that ‘The Flash’ is “everything you want to see, the kind of movie we need right now.”. It should be noted that the producer and actor is a category movie buff and even on the most complicated shooting days, after jumping into the void five times, try to see at least one title. In fact, in his day he already promoted ‘Tenet’ with that famous “Back to the movies!”.
The next step for the DC movie is April’s CinemaCon, where it will be screened in its entirety two months before its premiere. Will superhero movies finally be able to catch air again?
