Andy Muschietti has proven himself to be a valuable asset for Warner Bros. Pictures for more than half a decade now. First he helmed the IT movies, respectively released in 2017 and 2019, and now we’re just a few weeks away from seeing the director’s work on display in The Flash, which finally puts Ezra Miller’s title Scarlet Speedster onto center stage. While Muschietti has already said he’ll bring back Miller if The Flash 2 happens, word’s come in that there’s a different upcoming DC movie that the filmmaker has lined up instead.
While nothing is set in stone just yet, THR shared that Muschietti is currently WB’s “top choice” to direct The Brave and the Bold, the upcoming Batman reboot that will be part of the new DC Universe shared continuity that DC Studios heads James Gunn and Peter Safran are putting together. The project currently doesn’t have a script, and work on that won’t progress until the writers strike is over. As such, Muschietti doesn’t have a “formal commitment” to The Brave and the Bold right now, but assuming there aren’t any major shakeups, his odds of directing it are looking quite strong at the moment.
