Is The Flash movie streaming?

Blair Marnell
By

It was only about a month ago when The Flash TV series wrapped its nine-season run on The CW. Now, The Flash movie is in theaters after years of delays and a long run of very unflattering brushes with the law for its star, Ezra Miller. Regardless, the wait is over and audiences will now have the chance to judge The Flash on its own merits.

In the film, Barry Allen (Miller) discovers that he has the power to travel back in time. And since Barry is haunted by the murder of his mother, Nora Allen (Maribel Verdú), and the unjust incarceration of his father, Henry Allen (Ron Livingston), Barry attempts to rewrite history in his favor. What he creates is a world where Michael Keaton’s Bruce Wayne is Batman, and there are no other superheroes around when General Zod (Michael Shannon) invades with his Kryptonian army. The only ones who can go up against Zod are two versions of Barry, a largely broken Batman, and a Supergirl (Sasha Calle).

No, not yet. The Flash has only just arrived in theaters, and you’re going to have to wait for a while before it is available to stream. The previous regime at Warner Bros. experimented with releasing movies day on the streaming service formerly known as HBO Max the same day they hit theaters. For the most part, it did not go well, which is why the traditional theatrical release is once again the model for Warner Bros. Discovery.

Will The Flash be available to stream at home?

Yes, and The Flash‘s streaming home will be on Max. However, Max doesn’t have a firm timeframe in place for The Flash‘s arrival. It all really depends on how The Flash is received in theaters. If it does well and it has sustained business at the box office, then it probably won’t hit Max until this fall.

But if The Flash pulls an Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and absolutely plummets after the opening weekend, then you may see it on Max as soon as next month. That was Black Adam‘s fate, and it won’t be the last superhero movie that fails to connect.

Are there secret superhero cameos in The Flash?

Oh yeah, there are indeed a lot of superhero cameos in The Flash. But if you’re expecting a meaningful team-up across the multiverse along the lines of Spider-Man: No Way Home, then you may be disappointed. The only really important characters in The Flash are the two Barrys, the Michael Keaton Batman, and to a much smaller extent, Supergirl. Everyone else is just window dressing, and they don’t really affect the story at all.

The film does have one last surprise near the end that was genuinely funny. But you should really see that for yourself.

If you were to ask anyone what the most underrated month in the year is, they'd probably look at you funny and wonder why you're asking such a question. Once the shock passes, they'd probably reply, "April." After all, nothing really big happens in April, and when people think of spring, it's usually March that comes to mind.

Thus, it makes sense that such an underrated month would be perfect for watching equally underrated movies. Movie lovers probably watched a few hidden streaming movie gems in March and every prior month, but April is actually the perfect time to explore and engage with films few might know about. So buckle up and enjoy this selection of hidden streaming movies that will make April more enjoyable.

If you have to watch one Peacock movie this April, stream this one

Given its relatively low number of total subscribers, it's easy to understand how you might forget about Peacock, even if you're one of those subscribers. The service arrived on the streaming scene later in the game, and it was crowded out for many people by Netflix, Max, and Disney+.

Just because the service isn't as popular as some of its competitors, though, doesn't mean there aren't plenty of things worth watching on it. In addition to some devilishly fun original series like Poker Face, Peacock is also home to a great archive of older movies, some of which you might not expect to find on the service. We've selected an especially spooky one, Let the Right One In, as a movie you should definitely check out this April.
