Kiersey Clemons has closed a deal to star opposite Ezra Miller in “The Flash” movie.
Variety first reported earlier this month that she was the top choice for the female lead in the Warner Bros. film.
Insiders reveal that Clemons is likely to play Iris West, the tough-as-nails journalist and friend of Barry Allen, the Flash’s alter ego.
“The Flash” had to overcome the hurdle of replacing the film’s original director, Seth Grahame-Smith, who parted ways with the project over creative differences. “Dope” helmer Rick Famuyiwa took over directing duties in June. The movie, however, appears to be able to meet its planned start date. Production is expected to commence sometime this year.
The studio is keeping Smith’s most recent draft of the script, which is based on a treatment by Chris Miller and Phil Lord.
Clemons’ star has risen significantly since her breakout performance in “Dope.
