Now that Zack Snyder has a diminished role in the DC Extended Universe, Jeffrey Dean Morgan is less confident about appearing in the Flashpoint movie.
The announcement of Flashpoint was an exciting moment for fans of DC and, of course, The Flash. Due to its alternate universe elements, the film would have allowed an alternate timeline version of Thomas Wayne to appear, with Jeffrey Dean Morgan excited to hopefully reprise the role.
However, now that Snyder isn’t so involved with the DCEU, Morgan has revealed to MTV at San Diego Comic Con that he’s not sure he will be in the mix:
“I’ll keep talking about it because it’s really fun to talk about and I really would like Warner Bros to open their ears a little bit. When Zack Snyder was involved in the DC world more, I think there was a real possibility. But now that he’s kind of stepped away a little bit, I’ve heard different things that Flashpoint might not be going in that direction. It’ll be more of an origin story for Flash. But look, I’m always here and would love to do it.”

Whether Flashpoint will happen at this point is unclear but fans of the story and of Jeffrey Dean Morgan can at least take heart in knowing the actor hasn’t changed his desire to be a part of the project.
