Director Rick Famuyiwa has left Warner Bros. and DC Films’ “The Flash” over creative differences, TheWrap has learned.

A source close to the project said the film’s production as well as its release date will likely be postponed following the exit of the “Dope” director.

The film, starring Ezra Miller as the titular speedy superhero, was originally set for a March 16, 2018, release. But the studio wants to get it right, the source said, and is not rushing the project.

A similar thing happened when Michelle MacLaren left the studio’s “Wonder Woman” over creative differences in 2015.
