Warning: Spoilers ahead for The Flash. Proceed at your own risk.
The Flash finds itself in an unfortunate situation, drawing comparisons to the notorious box office bomb, Wild Wild West. Although these connections may seem unlikely, it’s intriguing to explore the similarities between the struggling DCU blockbuster and the ill-fated Western.
Years ago, Will Smith famously turned down the role of Neo in The Matrix to instead star in the most expensive movie in Hollywood history; Wild Wild West. Unfortunately, the steampunk Western failed miserably at the box office and even earned five Razzie Awards.
Now, with The Flash facing similar challenges at the box office, it’s astonishing to see the connections between the two films. During the development of a Superman project, Warner Bros. producer Jon Peters insisted on featuring a giant mechanical spider in the third act. This demand resurfaced in Wild Wild West. Interestingly, even Nicolas Cage’s cameo as an alternate version of Superman in The Flash involves battling a giant mechanical spider.
The way these unlikely coincidences play out is truly remarkable. The biggest failure of Will Smith’s career, which he openly detests, is now intertwined with the latest superhero extravaganza from the DCU.
