The upcoming Flash movie already had one fan when James Gunn called it “probably one of the greatest superhero movies ever made,” but now an unexpected celebrity is sparking buzz around DC’s upcoming movie: Tom Cruise.
According to a report from THRThe Top Gun and Mission: Impossible star loved The Flash so much that he called director Andy Muschietti to praise him.
The story began when Cruise had a meeting with the CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery by David Zaslav, who reportedly mentioned to Cruise how great The Flash is. Cruise asked to see the film and Zaslav agreed, sending an advance copy of the film to Cruise’s home in Beverly Hills. Shortly after Cruise finished the film, he approached Muschietti.
According to THR sources, Cruise called The Flash something like “everything you want from a movie” and added that “this is the movie we need right now.”
Tom Cruise has received tons of praise from people like Quentin Tarantino and Steven Spielberg for Top Gun: Maverick and his role in the box office bailout, so it’s nice to see the star pass on some of the love back.
Right now, all we can do is take Cruz at his word, as The Flash won’t hit theaters until June 16th. the arrival of Kara Zor-El, also known as Supergirl. The film will also mark the return of Zod Michael Shannon and Faora Antje Traue. The Flash also faced a lot of controversy due to Miller’s legal issues and related questions about whether WB would stick with the actor.

Mobile game studio Nexters continues to trade on the Nasdaq stock exchange.
The company is returning after a year-long hiatus due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Nexters was delisted from the stock exchange, while other businesses were removed or shut down after the start of the war.
Throughout the past year, the developer has made changes to return to the exchange, including relocating from Russia.
The studio was founded in 2010 and listed on Nasdaq in 2021.
“Over the past year, we have been working hard to get permission to sell our shares and warrants on the Nasdaq. We are happy to announce that GDEV is back,” said Andrey Fadeev, CEO of Nexters.
“We would also like to thank all of our stakeholders for their support and patience during this difficult time of the trade suspension.”
