The producer of DC's upcoming film The Flash has tried to calm fan's fears that it is next to be axed by Warner Bros after the studio killed off the $90million flop film Batgirl.
Starring Ezra Miller, The Flash is scheduled to be released in 2023 - but many have speculated that it will also be shelved because of Warner Bros' seeming lack of clarity.
According to The Flash Film News on Twitter, the movie's producer Barbara Muschietti said that 'All is good in Flash land' despite it only being 'expected' to hit theaters next June.
In a conversation with the fan page, which collates information about the upcoming film, Muschietti said that it was 'absolute b******t' to suggest that The Flash does not yet have a firm release date.
They posted: 'Amid the recent DCEU shakeup, THE FLASH producer, Barbara Muschietti, wants to reassure fans that "all is good in Flash land."'
Warner Bros has not commented on whether The Flash is still expected to hit screens next year. The company has also not dismissed allegations that it may be axed.
According to The Flash Film News on Twitter, the movie's producer said in an Instagram message that 'All is good in Flash land.' It comes after the star of The Flash Ezra Miller was arrested multiple times

But Warner Bros has allegedly been put in a difficult position because the film's star Miller has been arrested multiple times - and the actor's behavior has become erratic, according to Rolling Stone.
Miller, who is non binary and uses the pronouns they and them, was arrested twice earlier this year after they allegedly assaulted and spit at someone in Hawaii.
The film is said to be on track for its release next year, but Warner Bros has paused working on any future projects involving Miller.
David Zaslav, CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, previously said that Miller is 'simply not a part of those plans going forward in the future universe regardless if there are more allegations or not.'
According to Washington Posts' comic book expert David Betancourt, the lack of clarity and Miller's recent actions mean 'one must wonder whether we’ll ever see Michael Keaton’s bat-comeback at all.'
Despite Muschietti's assurance, fans are still skeptical that the film will finally be in theaters next year.
Entertainment journalist Lacy Baugher Milas said: 'The fact that they’re shelving Batgirl but still planning to release that The Flash movie and praying somehow no one has read a single Ezra Miller story online for the past two years is…a choice.'
One fan wrote: 'Sure, she told we would get a trailer 2 months ago. Still we got nothing. It might get cancelled, I don't know.'
Another fan added: 'Like I’ve been saying… don’t ask producers or directors. They have NO IDEA. Until they are told, they will say nothing is wrong.'
A third person wrote online: 'Bet that’s what Batgirl’s crew thought 2 days ago also.'
This comes after Batgirl star Leslie Grace spoke out for the first time after Warner Bros executives axed the $90 million movie, and shared behind-the-scenes pictures and footage from the film's production.
Writing on Instagram following criticism of the sudden canceling from directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah on Wednesday, the actress said she was proud of the
