In an interview with Radio Tu's YouTube show La Baulera del Coso, Muschietti said people didn't actually care about the character of The Flash. Andy said, "The Flash failed, among all the other reasons, because it wasn’t a movie that appealed to all four quadrants. It failed at that... When a USD 200 million movie is made, the studio wants to bring even your grandmother to the cinema."

"Then I found out things like that a lot of people who are not interested in the Flash character...there are many women who are not interested in the Flash as a character...but I am very happy with the movie," he added.

The four quadrants refer to four types of audiences: Male viewers under 25, male viewers over 25, female viewers under 25, and female viewers over 25.

The Flash featured Ezra Miller as the titular speedster. The movie also featured Sasha Calle, Michael Shannon, Ron Livingston, Maribel Verdu, Kiersey Clemons, Antje Traue and Michael Keaton.

It faced numerous controversies prior to its release. Ezra was involved in several legal issues, including allegations of disorderly conduct, assault, and misconduct.
