It’s official – “Neighbours 2: Sorority Rising” actress Kiersey Clemons will be starring as Iris West, Barry Allen’s love interest, in “The Flash” movie!
According to Variety, the young star is a friend of director Rick Famuyiwa, who took over the film’s directing duties in June, having previously starred in his acclaimed indie comedy film, “Dope”. Production is expected to start sometime this year.
It was reported that Famuyiwa is currently drawing from “The Flash” movie’s draft script, which is penned by previous director Seth Grahame-Smith and based on a story treatment by Phil Lord and Chris Miller (from “The LEGO Movie”).
An unofficial casting report for the film previously described the script draft’s version of Iris West as “having Christiane Amanpour’s brains and Carrie Bradshaw’s style. An over-caffinated doe and a reporter at The Central City Citizen”.
Besides that, Clemons also took to Twitter to tease her fans about the casting news using lightning bolt emojis.
