<p>DC's much-anticipated <em>The Flash</em> will release next month. While the excitement is quite considerable about the project, a shadow also looms over it, thanks to the lead star Ezra Miller. But director Andy Muschietti has said that he doesn't think anybody else can play that character as well. In the teaser for the upcoming episode of <em>The Discourse</em> podcast, he said, "I don’t think there’s anyone that can play that character as well as they did. The other depictions of the character are great, but this particular vision of the character, they just excelled in doing it. And, as you said, the two Barrys — it feels like a character that was made for them.” Miller indeed essays two versions of Barry, one in the main continuity and one in a parallel reality.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Andy's sister and co-producer Barbara Muschietti said, “In principal photography, Ezra was brilliant and the most committed and the most professional [actor]. Ezra gave everything for this role — physically, creatively, emotionally. They were absolutely supreme.”</p>

<h2><strong><em>The Flash</em> and its numerous troubles</strong></h2>

<p><em>The Flash</em>, a $200 million project, has been in trouble ever since it went into production. Mind you, this is apart from the troubles over conflicts between the studio and the writers and directors. The project has seen the comings and goings of multiple writers and filmmakers over the years before Muschietti, who directed the It movies for Warners, joined the project.</p>

<p>But the real cause of distress has been Miller. They had numerous run-ins with the law in the last couple of years [Miller uses they pronoun]. 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.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Some people told <em>Vanity Fair </em>as saying that Miller claimed to be Jesus, the Devil, and the next Messiah, among other things. Naturally, the Warners Bros execs were apprehensive of the bad press the film and by extension, the studio was getting. It was even contemplated to recast them or scrap the project altogether, much like what happened with <em>Batgirl</em>.</p>
