Movies that feel likeThe Flash (2023)

When his attempt to save his family inadvertently alters the future, Barry Allen becomes trapped in a reality in which General Zod has returned and there are no Super Heroes to turn to. In order to save the world that he is in and return to the future that he knows, Barry's only hope is to race for his life. But will making the ultimate sacrifice be enough to reset the universe?

If you loved The Flash, the closest films we have are The Fantastic 4: First Steps (2025), Thunderbolts* (2025) and Superman (2025). All three share The Flash's kinetic and cerebral feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026).
