The Flash's Eric Stoltz joke was actually perfect.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT 2023's The Flash made a reference to the classic time travel movie Back to the Future by joking about Eric Stoltz's casting that could've been. Released on June 16, 2023, The Flash marked Ezra Miller's first solo film as the DCEU's Barry Allen, adapted from 2011's Flashpoint in DC Comics.
The Flash makes many references to pop culture as the original Barry Allen comes into contact with his alternate teenage self from ten years prior. Several Easter eggs are included in The Flash, including posters in alternate Barry's room referencing to Warner Bros. projects such as I Am Legend, Inception, and Pacific Rim, alternate Barry referencing Star Wars' Emperor Palpatine, and the reveal that several classic movies had very different casting choices.
The Flash's Eric Stoltz Joke References Back To The Future's Original Marty McFly In reality, Marty McFly was a role made famous by Michael J. Fox in 1985's Back to the Future, but while Fox was the first choice for McFly, the role almost went to a completely different actor. Originally, The Wild Life and Mask's Eric Stoltz was hired to portray Marty McFly in Back to the Future.
Filming on Back to the Future began in November 1984, and was expected to run until February 1985. However, Zemeckis - displeased with Stoltz's serious take on McFly - fired the actor in January, and Fox was hired instead. Stoltz had filmed numerous scenes including McFly traveling back to 1955 in the DeLorean, the car breaking down before it travels back to 1985, and Marty's eventual return to the future.
Why The Flash's Back To The Future Joke Is Perfect Barry Allen referencing this alternate version of Back to the Future in The Flash helps to establish the fact that the original Barry's actions have changed the world significantly, perhaps not always in big ways, but in enough small ways that the changes can be felt instantly.
