5 Actors Who Could Play The Flash in ‘Justice League’
by Andrew Dyce
(6 of 5)
The Flash; the Scarlet Speedster; the Fastest Man Alive. DC has once again given the title to Barry Allen for the time being, but every gathering of DC's greatest heroes has required a man or woman blessed with superspeed.
With the upcoming Justice League movie, it's practically a guarantee that The Flash will be making his big-screen debut. As always, the question of casting now arises.
We've put realistic options above outlandish 'dream-casting' in determining our list, based on the apparent tone and direction that Warner Bros. is taking with their superhero films.
Here are our picks for 5 Actors Who Could Play The Flash in Justice League.

![Fall TV 2013: 10 Best New Shows [Trailers]](http://static.srcdn.com/slir/w87-h65-c1.33:1/http://screenrant.com/wp-content/uploads/abc-fall-previews-shield.jpg)
‘Dexter’ Season 8 Trailer: The Hunt Begins – How Will it End? 
‘Game of Thrones’ to End in Season 7? 
‘Pacific Rim’ Featurette Explores ‘Drift Space’; First TV Spot Offers More Action 
‘Halo’ Live-Action TV Series From Steven Spielberg Announced 
Chris Pine would be my personal pick. I just can’t see Joel Edgerton or Patrick Wilson being the Flash. I like them both (a lot) but as a superhero in red tights? Eh, not so much.
Chris Pine has an audacious and charming personality, and if it does fit Flash than I’m all in for it.
I think Im with you, Flash has to be a skinny but not to skinny man. Out of this 5, Chris Pine´d be my choice too.
chris pine or joel. watch warrior pl0x
Would Pine want to go for a third role in a big-budget action blockbuster franchise? The man only has so much time.
The Jack Ryan reboot remains to be seen (although your point is taken). That being said, if Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale managed it, I guess it’s manageable.
True, but Bale and Jackman kept it at one franchise each (or maybe 2, if you include Terminator for Bale). However, Pine is already a star of Star Trek (no pun) and presumably Jack Ryan will spawn a new franchise. Can he handle a third franchise?
It’s a tough call. It seems like Abrams will be putting off Star Trek 3 for a while now…. and the delay was already pretty substantial between the first and second.
If it’s too much for Pine, and Urban gets spoken for with a Dredd sequel, I won’t be too disappointed. Pine deserves more hits, but if he skips superhero films, they’ll be the lesser for it.
…still wish he’d been Hal.
just before I looked at the bank draft that said $7731, I have faith …that…my best friend was actually bringing home money part-time from there computar.. there moms best frend has been doing this less than nine months and at present took care of the loans on there place and purchased a gorgeous Smart ForTwo. read more at, http://www.Jump90.ℂom
So, MacIntyre, then?
Nah. I think he’s effectively going for Pine.
Intriguing choices. I’d say Joel Edgerton just because he’s the most talented from the bunch, but I can’t say who matches Flash’ personality because I never read the comics! But I’m certain Aussie Edgerton can pull off just about any characteristics in a role.
Good picks. No love for Garret Hedlund though? He looks the part, is a great actor, and already has some blockbuster cred under his belt (Tron: Legacy). Plus he’s 28, so he’s a realistic choice to sign a multi-picture, ten-year deal.
Much love for Hedlund from me personally, but I see him as more of a Wally West than Barry. I’m just glad we’ll see him again in another Tron movie to hopefully call on a bit more of that Friday Night Lights drama.
Jim “Sheldon Cooper” Parsons!!
That’s would be hilarious!!
#Bazinga!
Bazinga!
no Jensen Ackles??? seriously?? his the perfect flash!! other choice is maybe bradley cooper
I’d prefer them as Wally West, but I think Pine is the best one on the list.
Why do you think he’s the perfect Flash? I’ve never gotten a Barry vibe off him at all.
No, just no. He does have a funny side but has a WAY too serious and intense demeanor to be wasted on someone like Flash.
Ackles has what it takes to play both batman and Bruce Wayne.
Good picks. I’m thinking Pine but I’d also add SOA’s Charlie Hunnam to the list. The (hopeful) success of Pacific Rim might boost his star power.
Chris pine for me
Jeffrey Donovan is my choice.
I never thought about it, but you know… He could pull it off.
Chris pine has never disappointed….he would make a great Flash.
My Dream Justice League cast:
Superman: Ryan Reynolds
Batman: Ryan Reynolds
Green Lantern: Ryan Reynolds
Flash: Ryan Reynolds
Green Arrow: Ryan Reynolds
Martian Manhunter: Ryan Reynolds
Wonder Woman: ….. Ryan Reynolds
Hawk Girl: Ryan Reynolds
Epic beyond Epic Movie
Am I right?
Ryan Reynolds must also play the supervillain as well as any and all love interests.
THANK YOU!!! Finally someone says patrick wilson, ive been saying him for years. Best choice by far. 1 he will be far cheaper than pine and he is a more versatle actor imo. Change his hair to a little more blonde. Andrew great work.
@Trey: Thanks! He may not have the star power of other names fans are bringing up (Ryan Gosling? Seriously? Why not Brad Pitt?) but can play a likable dork like few others. I personally also loved him in The A-Team (succeeding at what Jason Patric tried in The Losers).
If anyone has doubts, watch Hard Candy and get back to me.
I’m not sure why, but when I saw the suggestion of Patrick Wilson, I said YES, that’s the flash!
On a side note, Olivia Wilde for Wonder Woman? Very much agree. Would she have to bulk up a bit though? That doesn’t seem right.
I like Patrick Wilson.
I know everyone is gonna think of this as a joke but i extremely see Sean William Scott as the Flash. He might have done all those comedies. But the flash is suppose to be camera friendly and then when he has to fight someone he get serious. I can see that working.
Maybe also Glen Howerton from its always sunny in Philadelphia.
Scott would be better as Wally West, he’s a lot less serious than Allen
I like these ideas! Outside of the box!
I always thought NPH would be great.
Good choice but to short
He’s 6’1″ – same height as Henry Cavill.
Oh man didnt know that.
No love for Michael Rosenbaum? He looks the part perfectly, and he has voiced the character for years in the DCAU.
Much love for Rosenbaum! But that carries so much baggage, and from the looks of it, he might get signed by Marvel first. I’d like to see more of him for sure, but I don’t think Barry Allen is the way to go.
Really no Bradley Cooper?
Nope.
If these are supposed to be realistic choices then why are some of these actors nearing 40? If Justice League happens in 2015, which I highly doubt, I’m pretty sure that they’ll want a seemingly younger cast. I’m thinking mid-to-late 20′s, early 30′s max.
Even Reynolds, at 36, still has a youthfulness to him and he doesn’t look his age. Still, I don’t see them going after an Edgerton or a Wilson. Pine is probably a bit too loaded on roles and opportunities at the moment, too.
Wilson is cheap, worked with snyder before and has a open schedule plus he is pretty useful
@Adrian: I don’t think age needs to be used to count some actors out if they have the skills. Hugh Jackman is 44, and I think all of the actors in this list are all, and appear to be even younger than that.
Chris Pine for me. Having him and Ryan Reynolds together as superheroes on film would be priceless. They would be cracking jokes, hitting on Wonder Woman and always being bossed around by Batman. Awesomeness.
Spin-off film with the two of them, or showing up in eachother’s films for a beer? Awesome.
Chris Pine hands done he fits the bill more than any actor out there but we all know the fans never get what they want and it will be given to a no name actor.
I kinda could see chris pine as the flash but the others definitely not… maybe t he kid who played Iceman in the xmen movies as flash I could see, or the kid who played impulse in Smalville
Here’s who I want to see inn the Justice League!!!
*Superman / Clark Kent – Henry Cavill
*Batman / Bruce Wayne – Christian Bale
*Wonder Woman – Olivia Wilde
*Green Lantern / Hal Jordan – Ryan Gosling
*Flash – Justin Timberlake
*Aquaman – Bradley Cooper
*Martian Manhunter – Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje
*Darkseid – Michael Ironside

I like that. .. hell yea I agree
I could see some of them as green arrow if he was put in the movies after the show, i mean Amell is a good actor but these guys could do it better

Amell is more of a batman guy i think..
Chris Pine as The Flash would be awesome!
I think Neil Patrick Harris would be fantastic honestly, he’s blonde, funny, and has the right body type
Neil Patrick Harris for Barry Allen.
Chris Pine? Yes. Please.
Even in the comments theres no love for Liam…
