Despite making his movie bow in next year's Justice League, Barry Allen will still be getting to grips with his powers in 2018's The Flash , says star Ezra Miller.

Speaking to IGN, Miller explained that while Allen will have learned more about harnessing the Speed Force in his team-up with Batman, Superman and co., he will still be an in-training superhero to some extent:"I certainly think it will represent the next stage," he explained. "What I find fascinating is that we’re still very much amateur-hour Speedster." That's a journey Miller's clearly keen to continue in any potential future movies: "I’d love for the series to track an evolution of Barry Allen’s early times as The Flash."When asked if we could see a fully-powered Flash in DC's movie universe one day, Miller explained why that was unlikely:"Like, I love this comic 'Kingdom Come' - unbelievable art - and in that The Flash is fully evolved, and you never even see him, right? It’s just like a red mist, and there’s no crime in [Keystone] City. He protects a whole chunk of the country."So that wouldn’t make for the most interesting film - you know what I mean? What do we have to learn about that guy? That guy barely exists, right? He’s almost one with the Speed Force. So it’s interesting to go to the beginning."Then - as if just to get us wishing for the impossible - he followed it up with an idea for a fully-powered Flash move as fantastic as it is unlikely: "It would be hard - you’d have to get Werner Herzog to make a movie about a bolt of lightning!"The Flash recently lost its second director in a year , but Miller remains upbeat about the movie, saying "it's the same project" it has been since he was attached two years ago, and that his preparation - both physical and research-based - is continuing.The Flash is due for release on March 16, 2018, and will feature Kiersey Clemons as Iris West , and is rumoured to include appearances from Ray Fisher's Cyborg Billy Crudup as Barry Allen's Father , and The Rogues as antagonists
