Screen Rant claims that Pine is currently the studio's first choice to take on the iconic role of speedster The Flash, although it is still uncertain which incarnation of the character he could play.
Earlier this year, it was announced that Green Lantern scribe Marc Guggenheim would co-write the script alongside Michael Green and Greg Berlanti.
In an interview with Newsarama, Guggenheim hinted that the current version of the script focuses on original Flash Barry Allen.
Pine was previously rumoured for the lead role in Captain America before the part eventually went to Chris Evans.
It is thought that The Flash is slated for release in 2013.
