Ezra Miller: 'I have been unjustly and directly targeted'

<p>Ezra Miller essays the titular role of DC speedster superhero in the upcoming superhero movie<em> The Flash</em>. The actor, who has had several run-ins with the law in the last few years, appeared in public for the first time in quite a while at the movie's premiere in Hollywood, Los Angeles. The said incidents included Miller choking a woman and throwing her to the ground in Iceland in 2020, which was caught on video and went viral, and allegedly grooming a child. Things became so bad that at one point, Warner Bros mulled scrapping the $200 million project to save face, which, had it happened, would have been unprecedented.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Even before Miller's alleged crimes-spree, <em>The Flash</em> had undergone several filmmaker and writer changes ever since it was announced back in 2014.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>What did Ezra Miller say at <em>The Flash</em>'s premiere?</strong></h2>

<p>These are the first public words from Miller's mouth since their apology in 2022. “Having recently gone through a time of intense crisis, I now understand that I am suffering complex mental health issues and have begun ongoing treatment.

Ezra Miller returns to spotlight at The Flash Premiere, thanks James Gunn, WB for 'grace and discernment'

<p>The upcoming DC movie <em>The Flash</em>, directed by Andy Muschietti, screened in its entirety at the ongoing CinemaCon, and naturally, early reactions have surfaced online. And they are wildly positive. The Ezra Miller-starrer introduces the multiverse to DC movies big time and features alternate versions of several characters. For instance, apart from Ben Affleck's Batman, the movie, penned by &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Christina Hodson, also features Michael Keaton's Caped Crusader that he played in Tim Burton's Bat-movies. Also, the movie does not have Henry Cavill's Superman, but has Sasha Calle's Supergirl. The movie is also rumoured to feature many surprises. Here are some of the reactions:</p>

<p>Fandango's Erik Davis wrote, "DC’s #TheFlash is TREMENDOUS! Forget DC, it is without a doubt among the best superhero films ever made. An all-timer. Inventive storytelling, FANTASTIC action sequences, great cast. SO MANY nerdy details. I’m in tears at the end. Everything you want from a superhero film &amp; more."</p>

<p>Collider's Steven Weintraub wrote, "#TheFlash is fantastic. I know Ezra Miller has made a lot of mistakes but they are soooooo good in this movie. Loved Keaton, the action, humor and emotion. Andy Muschietti has crafted something special. Thumbs way up."</p>

<p>Fandom's Eric Goldman wrote, "Yeah, #TheFlash is legit great! It delivers some notably thrilling, fun and creative moments I felt I hadn’t seen in a million other superhero movies. It had me smiling from the Warner Bros. logo at the top and I even dug stuff inspired by movies I wasn’t into."</p>

<p>Variety's Scott Mantz wrote, "THE FLASH is awesome! One of the very best DC movies, a perfect blend of action, heart &amp; humor! So many WOW &amp; chill-inducing moments that longtime DC fans will love! EZRA MILLER is superb (twice, actually!) &amp; MICHAEL KEATON’s still got it! #TheFLASH #BATMAN #CinemaCon."</p>

<p>Considering that The Flash has had a long and difficult road towards its release, this bodes well for the film's success. It has been in development in one form or another since 2014, and has experienced a revolving door of writers and filmmakers over the years before Andy Muschietti joined. And even after he shot the film, Warner Bros at one moment considered scrapping the $200 million project, thanks to the erratic behaviour of the main star Ezra Miller. They have had numerous run-ins with the law in the last couple of years. Even the lockdown induced by COVID-19 did not deter them as they were involved in a spate of incidents around the globe and many of which were violent in nature.</p>

The Flash first reactions: DC's multiverse movie is 'among the best superhero films ever'

<p>A recent report in The Hollywood Reporter was full of potential revelations about the upcoming DC films. Among them was a nugget that a sequel to the upcoming movie 'The Flash' is already in development with a script being written. This is surprising because the film, set to be released next year, has been in all sorts of trouble thanks to the star <strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-ezra-miller-apologizes-to-warner-bros-bosses-for-bringing-negative-attention-to-the-flash-franchise-510630">Ezra Miller'</a></strong>s multiple and seemingly ceaseless run-ins with the law. David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick is scripting 'The Flash' sequel and the chances of it being greenlit depend on how the first film does. The film, which will explore the concept of the multiverse in the DC universe, stars Miller in the role of Barry Allen or the Flash, the speedster superhero and member of the Justice League.</p>

<p>Miller recently pleaded not guilty to charges that have been levelled against him.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The film, directed by 'It' duology helmer, was supposed to be the big comeback of Michael Keaton in the role of Batman. Since the film is all about the multiverse, there can be multiple versions of the same character. Ben Affleck will also be seen as the Caped Crusader. Sasha Calle will also debut in DCEU as Supergirl.</p>

<p>Ron Livingston, Kiersey Clemons, Michael Shannon, and Antje Traue also star.</p>

<p>It was not known earlier whether 'The Flash' itself will see the light of the day as the new David Zaslav's leadership at Warner Bros Discovery has proven itself to be ruthless, shelving an almost-finished $90 million 'Batgirl' movie. But 'The Flash, budgeted at $200 million, is perhaps too expensive to be cancelled.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The titular role, however, might be recast, as Miller has proven himself to be nothing other than trouble in a recent couple of years.&nbsp;</p>

<p>'The Flash' is scheduled to be released on June 23, 2023.</p>

'The Flash' sequel reportedly already in development. Will Ezra Miller return?

<p>American filmmaker Kevin Smith, during the latest episode of his 'Hollywood Babble-On'&nbsp;show, spoke out against Warner Bros.'&nbsp;decision of axing `Batgirl` while going ahead with 'The Flash'&nbsp;movie.<br />
<br />
According to Variety, Smith called it "an incredibly bad look" for the studio to drop the rare comic book tentpole to be headlined by a Latina actor, especially when they are still moving forward with the Ezra Miller-led tentpole `The Flash`.<br />
<br />
"It`s an incredibly bad look to cancel the Latina `Batgirl` movie. I don`t give a shit if the movie was absolute f****ng dog sh*t - I guarantee you that it wasn`t," Smith said.<br />
<br />
He added, "The two directors (Bilall Fallah and Adil El Arbi) who directed that movie did a couple of episodes of `Ms. Marvel,` and it was a wonderful f****ng show and they had more money to do `Batgirl` than they had to do an episode of `Ms. Marvel` and stuff."<br />
<br />
On August 2, Warner Bros announced that despite `Batgirl` being fully shot and in post-production they would not be releasing the USD 90 million film in theatres or on its HBO Max streamer.<br />
<br />
Executives from Warner Bros said the reason for shelving the movie was because it did not have a blockbuster scale for theatres (the film was originally conceived for HBO Max), but Variety reported that a tax write-off was also one of the driving forces behind the decision.<br />
<br />
The only way Warner Bros. can write the film off is if it does not get a release in any capacity, as per the outlet. Variety stated, that earlier reports claimed that `Batgirl` test screenings were a disaster and that the film was "irredeemable," but Smith has a hard time buying into those rumours.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The filmmaker said he doubts the film is "absolute f****ng dog shit," and he noted that even if the movie did not look the greatest, well neither does the handful of DC series that air on The CW. Last week, during Warner Bros` Q2 earnings call, it was revealed that `The Flash` is still set for its slated release amid the numerous controversies in recent months regarding Miller`s alleged abusive behaviour.<br />
<br />
These allegations include choking an Icelandic woman in a bar and harassing another woman in her home in Berlin. He has also been arrested twice in Hawaii this year.<br />
<br />
As per Variety, commenting on this, Smith stated, "That is the baffling thing. I don`t give a shit how bad the `Batgirl` movie is, nobody in that movie is complicated or has anything in their real life you have to market around. In 'The Flash' movie, we all know there's a big problem! Flash is the Reverse-Flash in real life."&nbsp;</p>
