Add another one of my scoops confirmed, as now it is confirmed exactly as I was told, that the VFX artists working on The Flash movie didn’t have enough time to finish the special effects.
As I went over in June of 2023, director Andy Muschietti was pulling a Pinocchio when he said the visual effects for The Flash were supposed to look like that. How dumb did WB and Muschietti think the fans were? Pretty dumb by the looks of it.
So following The Flash movie, my contacts in Hollywood spoke with VFX artists on The Flash who said, “They didn’t give the CGI team enough time to complete the scenes. It’s why even scenes outside of the ‘speed force’ are trash, like Ben’s cape and moments with the Flash on Keaton’s plane & during the Zod final battle.”

Now we get a video from the Corridor Crew YouTube channel which includes a TikTok video that went viral from a VFX artist who worked on The Flash.
“If you thought The Flash had bad CGI, I can tell you why, because I worked on the movie,” says Zach Mulligan in the TikTok video. “If it looks like a VFX shot in The Flash was made in a week, it’s probably because it was.”

Additionally, Mulligan appears in the Corridor Crew video, where he reveals the insane deadlines they faced and shares how they worked on The Flash, Aquaman 2, and Black Adam simultaneously.
“Chaos was just kind of the norm,” Mulligan explained. “My first day, my supervisor was basically like, ‘Okay, everything’s on fire, and we need everything to get seen right now by the directors and everything.’ Every day was kind of a new challenge in that sense—you never knew what you were going to get when you walked in.”

Mulligan, who served as a production coordinator, was responsible for managing the artists directly so they could meet tight deadlines. However, the pressure of handling multiple high-profile projects at once made their job beyond challenging.
“The studio I was with primarily worked on DC Warner Brothers projects. Concurrently, I worked on The Flash, Aquaman 2, and Black Adam briefly, so it was the same time. Yeah, that’s chaotic,” Mulligan said. “Now you have three other projects that you’re working on that are also on the same timeline.”
Mulligan continued, “Sometimes you’d give an artist an asset or a shot for The Flash, and then the very next day, they’re working on something for Aquaman, and then the next day, it’s something for Black Adam. They have very little context for it, but we need them both done by the end of the week because we don’t know when people are going to need it up the chain of command.”
My insiders also filled me in on the real ending to The Flash. Also recall how the movie never revealed the villain and who killed Barry’s mother (it was Zoom).
