Actress Kiersey Clemons, who starred in Famuyiwa's film Dope and will play the superhero's love interest Iris West in The Flash, told The Hollywood Reporter , "Rick was one of the main reasons I wanted to do the movie ... So him not being a part of it is obviously very upsetting to me.""Ezra [Miller, who plays the titular superhero Barry Allen] and I are going to do what we promised to do from the beginning," Clemons told THR. "No matter who the director is, I am going to do what I think Iris should be."Warners is now searching for a new director and the film's production start and release date are likely to be postponed. Said Clemons, "All I can do is give it up to the gods."Meanwhile, rumor has it that Iris West will make her DCEU debut not in The Flash but in next year's Justice League.
