>Warner Bros Pictures is eyeing actresses of all ethnicities in the 21-25 age range to play 23-year-old Iris West in Andy Muschietti's upcoming THE FLASH movie starring Ezra Miller. The character is described as "smart, bold and always with a cellphone in hand. She’s an energetic, and perhaps over-caffeinated, tenacious cub reporter for the Central City Citizen, a modern 21st century-style newspaper, which is perfect for the stylish, bright-eyed young reporter, who has the fashion sense of Carrie Bradshaw and the smarts of Christiane Amanpour. She can be a bit over the top, but despite her idiosyncrasies there is something about her that draws people in."
>Kiersey Clemons was cast as Iris in Zack Snyder's JUSTICE LEAGUE, but once he was replaced by Joss Whedon, all her scenes were cut, and it was reported that WB planned to recast the role for the Scarlet Speedster's solo movie, currently set for release on June 3, 2022.
Sometimes actors have their scenes cut in reshoots, and sometimes small characters are expanded. Rob Cordry said he's been lucky enough to have the latter happen to him a few times.

The Flash my favorite DC character but I cannot stand Ezra. Given that he's an actual homo, I bet they cast a hottie this time around, knowing no straight male can put themselves in the shoes of this donut puncher.
I thought that making Joe/Iris West black on the TV show wasn't too bad. They don't make the whole of their existence revolve around their race, they're just perfectly ordinary people who happen to have brown skin.
I could bet you $5,000 that theyll cast a black actress Im 100% sure of it Even if they cast a white actress they would take it back because of the angry Twitter mob that would find it racist

Most people know Iris as a chocolate qt anyway. There's no reason to change that.
They will use that disgusting whore Rita Ora because DC is so creatively bankrupt at this point they'll do anything for butts in seats. The hope will be that Rita Ora fans come to see the movie (but they won't).
Lincoln Rodriguez
No one really knows Rita Ora these days. Dua Lipa is the more well known British-Albanian slag.
