The Flash movie was never designed to reboot the DCEU completely from scratch, and James Gunn's plans for the new DC Universe confirm it.
The Flash will be the bridge between the DCEU and the new DC Universe, but James Gunn already revealed that it won't reset the franchise completely from scratch. The birth of a new DC Universe leaves behind the baggage that kept new DC projects from reaching their full potential. In order to ease the audience into it, The Flash will use the concept of the multiverse to rewrite reality and make it possible for a new set of characters to take over.
What James Gunn Has Said About The Flash Resetting The DC Universe DC Studios CEO James Gunn officially announced the official slate for the DC Universe in January 2023. Before revealing the upcoming projects, Gunn expressed his thoughts on the four remaining DCEU movies, Shazam: Fury of the Gods, The Flash, Blue Beetle, and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. When talking about The Flash, Gunn said it "resets the entire DC Universe".
The Flash Movie Predates James Gunn's DC Universe Plan The Flash's multiversal story may seem like a tool specifically designed to justify the change from the DCEU to the new DC Universe, but that was never the case. Development on a Flash movie dates back to the 1980s. By 2017, The Flash was already planned to adapt DC's Flashpoint storyline; and by 2020, the movie's multiversal plot was solidified regardless of the direction that the DCEU would take afterward.
