Ezra Miller

The Flash was supposed to launch a new and profitable chapter for the studio. Now it's “hope for the best.”

“There is no winning in this for Warner Bros,” a source at the studio told the trade outlet. (He apparently nixed an adaptation of comic book characters The Wonder Twins as being too niche—rats, no “ ice ladders” on the big screen!) While the movie, which wrapped production in October 2021, awaits its June 2023 bow, Miller continues a reported rampage of bad press.

As reported by Deadline, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav and his team are headed towards a potential "first movie crisis" as The Flash's June 23, 2023, ...

This is not the first time Warner Bros. has had to deal with this type of situation, as i t replaced Johnny Depp with Mads Mikkelsen after the Fantastic Beasts actor who played Grindlewald was facing abuse allegations. Deadline has heard that Warner Bros. has attempted to get help for Miller, but the "headlines continue to pile up." As reported by Deadline, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav and his team are headed towards a potential "first movie crisis" as The Flash's June 23, 2023, approaches.

According to recent reports, controversy ridden actor Ezra Miller might no longer have a future in the DC extended universe...

Another option is that the studio opts for a different flash other than Barry Allen, such as Bart Allen or Wally West. Warner Bros as a studio has been making a lot of big changes behind the scenes. At this point, it is almost fair to say that the actor has a very bleak future in the DCEU. The controversial headlines keep piling up, which may mean that Miller does not fit into the work ethic and culture at Warner Bros and CEO David Zaslav’s ideas for the DCEU. They claimed that the actor had acted weirdly towards their child and wanted distance between the two. Miller has recently been at the center of several troubling headlines for the past few months.

Comic book writer Grant Morrison reacts to the ongoing controversies of The Flash star Ezra Miller. Warner Bros. Discovery is certainly in a tough spot ...

At this time, Warner Bros. Discovery reportedly looks to move on from Ezra Miller as The Flash after their standalone movie is released, regardless of whether or not more controversies arise related to the actor. The Flash is currently due to open on June 23, 2023. All I can say is that it’s just not the person I know. In an interview with Rolling Stone, the comic book writer reacted Miller’s legal and personal issues that have been on public display for quite some time: Although the studio certainly has high hopes for their upcoming DC Extended Universe film The Flash, there seems to be one major problem that clouds the film: Ezra Miller, and their ongoing controversies. So all I can say is that I didn’t see that side in any way with them.

Authorities have reportedly been unable to locate Miller after they were accused of grooming a girl from the age of 12 and using 'violence and intimidation' to ...

The Flash is currently set for release in June 2023. Miller won’t be the first actor to take on the character, with Grant Gustin previously playing The Flash in the CW series. Meanwhile, Iron Eyes recently took to social media to tell her followers she is mentally stable and that her ‘comrade’ Miller has been a help in her life, and that she is looking forward to the future. Iron Eyes is said to have fled to New York to reunite with Miller after her parents brought her home, before the pair travelled to Vermont, Los Angeles and Hawaii, where Miller was arrested several times, including for an alleged assault. Iron Eyes’ parents clam Miller flew her to London in 2017, when she was 14 and they were 25, to visit the studio Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them was filmed at, as she was a fan of the actor and the franchise. The actor is still said to be starring as Barry Allen/The Flash in the upcoming film despite allegations of grooming, and separately being charged with disorderly conduct and harassment, but they won’t star in DC films beyond that.

DCEU fans think taking the easy option and having Grant Gustin step in as the franchise's Flash would be the wrong move.

Thankfully, for the latter, Gustin’s version of the Scarlet Speedster will be sticking around for that little bit longer after The Flash was renewed for a ninth season earlier this year. However, that has not sat well with some fans of the DCEU, who believe Gustin replacing Miller would be a lazy move from the company. In light of Ezra Miller’s legal troubles, there has been an ongoing conversation from many fans as to who should replace them and don the lightning suit as the Flash.

Reports Say Warner Bros. Will Not Cast Ezra Miller as The Flash Anymore: After putting $200 million USD into 'The Flash' film to revitalize the DCEU.

Ezra Miller will return as Barry Allen/The Flash in the long-delayed The Flash film releasing June 23, 2023. Adding that the studio has tried to work with Miller but the continued behavior has become too much for it to deal with. It is also interesting to note that Warner Bros. that $200 million USD was put into the yet-to-release The Flash film, starring Ezra Miller, to revitalize the DCEU to match the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The removal of Miller could throw off plans.

This comes following a number of allegations against the actor.

Before doing so, however, they apparently shared a number of images, including quotes saying “I am shielded from negative people and their ill intent” and “you cannot touch me. Reportedly, Deadline’s sources claim that even if no more allegations are brought to light, the studio is unlikely to keep Miller as the Flash in future DC films, which most likely means a recast. Last week, Miller deleted their Instagram account, going off-grid amidst the allegations.

As Dugin and Hinckley might agree, comics are now dirtier than comix. Za52bvvvdbca7gwqhm6kfy5sju.jpeg?ixlib=rails 2.1 ...

Speaking of people getting hurt when things go off the rails, it appears two actors in another comic book adaptation, the dark Second Coming tale Chosen One, were killed in a van accident in the desert. Knowing that Flash stories, including the movie in which Miller is still slated to appear next year, often involve variant timelines or doppelgangers, Miller has even taken to mocking the authorities by posting messages online such as “you cannot touch me/i am in another universe.” It would be cute if he hadn’t committed some real-life assault and home invasion. Maybe so, but again—as with the wildest hippies or most progressive companies—maybe there’s a limit to how much weirdness you can cultivate before things go off the rails. Future audiences may be confused about whether the movie Catch Me If You Can was prophetic or whether it was about Miller. That film depicted a con man on the run using the alias “Barry Allen,” which is the Flash’s secret identity in the comics. A weird side effect of mainstream media turning so heavy-handedly and methodically p.c. is that a far-right crank like Russia’s Aleksandr Dugin, simply by retaining the capacity for mental rebellion, an element of spontaneity and surprise, now sounds a little like those 1960s hippies and comix readers. Look at how weirdly left-wing and decadent things have gotten at the two biggest, ostensibly most aboveground publishers of comics (as opposed to offbeat “comix”), Marvel and DC.

The actor, who has been arrested multiple times and subject to restraining orders in recent months, will play Barry Allen aka The Flash in the forthcoming DC ...

“There is no winning in this for Warner Bros,” a source told the outlet. Miller has been arrested multiple times in recent months, once for disorderly conduct and harassment at a karaoke bar in Hawaii, and again for allegedly striking a woman with a chair. “This is an inherited problem for Zaslav. The hope is that the scandal will remain at a low level before the movie is released, and hope for the best to turn out.”

Could The Flash end up being canceled following the ever-increasing number of disturbing reports and allegations around Ezra Miller?

The studio was forced to make a similar call when it dropped Johnny Depp from the Grindelwald character in the Fantastic Beasts franchise and replaced him with Mads Mikkelsen. While no definitive action has been put in place yet, the Ezra Miller controversy has already caused the corporate synergy to hit a few speed bumps. CEO and President of the newly merged Warner Bros. Discovery, David Zaslav has tried to get help for Ezra Miller. But they have not been receptive to these attempts. Or it can be relegated to a streaming release on HBO Max. Alternatively, Warner Bros can still lean toward making the movie a hit and drop Miller as Scarlett Speedster in any future projects. Finally, a second restraining order was taken against Ezra Miller to protect another teenager after they allegedly got agitated about the origins of the game Parcheesi. Given the shocking amount of bad press, the studio that has already invested $200 million on the superhero movie is wondering what to do next. Although The Flash is only set to hit theaters in June 2023, it has officially become Warner Bros Discovery CEO David Zaslav’s first movie crisis. The studio even managed to convince Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton to suit up as their respective Dark Knights. Unfortunately, the project now appears to be in more trouble thanks to lead star Ezra Miller’s off-screen issues.

WB has a crisis on their hands, but one that will not be resolved by time travel or multiverse traversal. Ezra Miller's erratic and often dangerous behavior ...

Depp was removed from the Fantastic Beasts saga and recast in the wake of domestic violence allegations, but the recent trials and decision (mostly) in his favor now has fans demanding that Heard to be stripped out of her role as Meera in Aquaman 2. This seems unlikely, due to the fact that it seems pretty clear Allen wants to stop being The Flash with the show winding down, and it would be a weird bit of universe hopping to pull Gustin over to the DCEU without his supporting cast and universe. There are other reports that WB is planning a larger overhaul of DC projects, and right now, the continuation of what’s viewed as the official DCEU in general does not seem like a sure thing.

Prior to the recent news involving inappropriate and grooming behavior with minors, the We Need To Talk About Kevin actor was arrested twice in Hawaii for attacking folks in a karaoke bar. Per gossip website TMZ, Deadline originally wrote, “In (David) Zaslav’s plan to make DC an explosively successful division like Marvel under his newly structured studio, with its own new boss, the non-binary identifying Miller, we hear, is simply not a part of those plans going forward in the future universe regardless if there are more allegations or not.” Zaslav’s First Movie Crisis: What To Do With Ezra Miller, The Erratic Star Of Warner Bros’ $200M ‘Flash’ Franchise Launch— Deadline Hollywood (@DEADLINE) https://t.co/TMJKZ9YMHG June 18, 2022

DC Comics icon Grant Morrison reacts to Ezra Miller's growing list of legal troubles and reveals a now-scrapped Flash film script co-written with Miller.

And that was the end of it." "It really was just the two of us. It was hardcore. The comments came amid a slew of controversies, including the actor's multiple arrests when they were detained and fined for disorderly conduct while on vacation in Hawaii in March of 2022. So all I can say is that I didn't see that side in any way with them." "I haven't spoken to them for a while, and the last time I spoke was long, long before this.

Ezra Miller's growing number of legal issues have become too much for Warner Bros. to continue using them as The Flash in new DC projects.

Another option is to simply hope for the most successful release possible come June 2023, as it’s been established that reshooting The Flash would be impossible at this stage. To make matters worse, The Flash star has been missing in action since that last accusation, leaving courts dumbfounded as to where to find them to serve them for current legal proceedings. For the better part of the last three months, The Flash star Miller has found themself caught up in all sorts of trouble, running from an alleged assault incident that landed them on the receiving end of a restraining order.

People are looking to Emma Watson for some clarity on the sensitive situation regarding her former co-star, The Flash star Ezra Miller.

One of Miller's most recent interactions with Watson occurred in 2016, when they were cast as the troubled wizard Credence in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. According to Miller, Watson was delighted for them, knowing how much the Harry Potter books meant to them as a young person. At this time, no definitive action has been taken by Warner Bros., but the studio acknowledges that it has an "Ezra Miller problem." According to Miller, they kept their next-door hotel rooms open so that they could live together and cultivate a natural "brother and sister" relationship. At the same time, Watson's fans came to her defence, saying that she shouldn't be held accountable for words and actions that aren't her own. Currently, it's unclear whether the two still keep in touch with each other, or if Miller's bad press has influenced Watson to distance herself from them. Watson has been keeping a low-key profile lately, but she is still being mentioned in ongoing discussions about Miller's current situation.

The movie has both Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck returning as Batman, the studio spent $200 million on a big multiverse-themed story…they went all out on this.

He could release the movie straight to HBO Max, or he could just market the movie like normal knowing that Miller wouldn’t return for the sequel he no doubt wants to make. He could release The Flash movie as planned but do little press for it, not wanting to risk putting Miller out there to do god-knows-what while the cameras are rolling. Miller was arrested multiple times in Hawaii — first for starting stuff at a karaoke bar and then for throwing a chair at a party and hitting a woman in the head — and then being accused by multiple families of grooming their young children.

A temporary protection order against actor Ezra Miller was issued out of Greenfield District Court Wednesday to a mother on behalf of her 12-year-old child, ...

Miller’s Instagram account was recently deactivated, and Instagram said it did not remove the account, according to NBC. The order was filed in an attempt to end an alleged “abusive relationship” between Miller and Tokata Iron Eyes, according to reports from NBC and TMZ. It follows a series of allegations made against Miller, 29, who uses they and them pronouns and identifies as nonbinary. The first protection order was filed by the parents of 18-year-old Tokata Iron Eyes, according to NBC. Chase Iron Eyes, an environmental activist, lawyer, and Tokata’s father, filed the order, according to NBC. Miller was released from jail after posting $500 after their first arrest and paid a $500 fine after pleading no contest to the count of disorderly conduct, according to NBC. Miller was arrested and later released on the assault charge “pending further investigation,” according to the New York Times. Miller has starred in the three “Fantastic Beasts” movies, as well as “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” and “We Need to Talk About Kevin,” according to IMDb. They have also starred as The Flash in the 2016 iteration of “Suicide Squad” and “Justice League.”

Actor Ezra Miller has been the subject of troubling allegations and headlines for months. Here's our quick guide to what's going on.

The second meme was said to include the words “message from another dimension,” and another involved a long message about being “shielded from negative people and their ill intent”. While the movie isn’t scheduled for release until 2023 — the many allegations against Miller obviously don’t bode well for a superhero movie. Over the weekend, a mother in Massachusetts was granted a temporary protection order against Miller on behalf of her 12-year-old daughter. According to NBC, Miller offered to shower the 12-year-old with gifts — including a horse — even after she said no to Miller’s earlier offers. In late March, the actor was reportedly arrested in Hawaii for disorderly conduct and harassment. They also called their parents’ behaviour an act of “emotional and psychological manipulation”.
