'Flashpoint' Movie Updates: Iris West May Belong to the Altered Timeline, Hints Kiersey Clemons
Following the reports saying that the draft of the script for "Flashpoint" is already done, Kiersey Clemons, who has been tapped to play the role of Iris West in the upcoming standalone big screen adaptation of The Flash, has hinted that her character may belong to an altered timeline in the movie.
After several delays due to the departures of its earlier directors, it was finally announced that the solo "The Flash" movie's script would undergo a page-one rewrite. Things are moving forward for the movie which was originally slated for a 2018 release.
While it will now be called "Flashpoint," an adaptation of the popular comic book story arc that features Barry Allen/The Flash (Ezra Miller in the movie) altering the timeline as he travels back to the past to prevent his mother's death, it has recently been reported that the draft of the script is finally done.

While it remains unclear as to how faithful the live-action movie adaptation of the movie will be to its comic book counterpart, Clemons has hinted that her Iris West character may belong to the altered timeline that resulted from Barry Allen's attempt to change the past.
"Because of going back and forth past and future with The Flash, you don't even know what time period you actually meet Iris," Clemons said in a recent interview, adding that her character and her subsequent relationship with the speedster are still in the process of development.
Meanwhile, apart from possibly featuring an Iris West from a different timeline in the movie, it is also speculated that "Flashpoint" will feature an evil version of Gal Gadot's Diana/Wonder Woman in the story as it is how things are in the comic book origin of the story. After all, in the comic book version of "Flashpoint," Diana has an affair with Aquaman and eventually kills him.
Warner Bros. has yet to attach a release date for "Flashpoint."
