The much-anticipated film, The Flash, came out with a short clip that showed great chemistry between the two leads - Barry Allen and Iris West. While Kiersey Clemons plays the role of Iris West, controversial actor Ezra Miller plays the role of Barry Allen aka The Flash.
Fans have been awaiting a look into Barry’s relationship with Iris, his only love, on the large screen. While the two actors had filmed the characters in Justice League, it was edited out in the final cut of the 2017 movie.

After seven years, fans can finally watch the two characters enacting their relationship on screen in the upcoming release. The teaser clip shows Barry using his super speed to clean his apartment for Iris. However, Iris finds out about a messy pile and is not impressed.
