Warner’s 3 plans to solve his problem with Ezra Miller

The future of ‘The Flash’, the title of the character played by Ezra Miller in the DC Comics movies, is uncertain. The actor’s problems with the law begin to be weekly and increasingly complex and, at Warner, they are already preparing to face various scenarios.

Ezra Miller has not stopped working since he rose to fame with ‘We have to talk about Kevin’ (Lynne Ramsay, 2011). Five years later, he doubled with Warner by sneaking into the magical world of Harry Potter thanks to ‘Fantastic Animals and Where to Find Them’ (David Yates, 2016) and into his superheroic universe with ‘Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice’ (Zack Snyder, 2016).

In addition to appearing in its sequel, ‘Justice League’ (Joss Whedon, Zack Snyder, 2017), Miller became strong in the brand and began filming ‘The Flash’ (2023) under the orders of Andy Muschietti. , the premiere of his character as the protagonist.

And then everything got weird.

We need to talk about Ezra

Since the beginning of this year, news about strange criminal behavior has followed the actor at the same speed that he seems to run away from them. From ‘Ezra Miller threatens the Ku Klux Klan in a disturbing video’ we move on to ‘Ezra Miller, arrested for the second time in less than a month in Hawaii’, to climb to Ezra Miller is on the run from justice with serious accusations and Ezra Miller receives new accusations of assault and harassment.

With the film already shot, at Warner they were waiting for the media storm to clear so they could release it in the summer of 2023 but, this week, we have learned of a new accusation of a robbery crime for the actor and, as if that were not enough, Rolling Stone reported that the Vermont Department of Children’s Services is trying to locate a mother and three children who, allegedly , have been residing on the Miller farm.

As things do not seem to be getting better, at Warner they are already studying all their possible movements and, according to a source The Hollywood Reporterthese could be the three scenarios that the brand considers.

Solution 1: the good son

Warner has received reports that Miller will seek professional help after returning to his farm in Vermont after being away. If that happens, Miller, who uses the they/them pronouns, could give an interview at some point explaining his erratic behavior over the past few years. The actor would then be able to do limited press for ‘The Flash,’ and the film would open in theaters as planned.

Solution 2: the void

If Miller doesn’t ask for help, Warner could release the film but without the actor during the promo and I would not continue counting on him in future projects. Flash onward, as the role would be recast in future projects.

Solution 3: the drawer

Everything gets worse Warner would kill the film, since it could not be reshot with a different actor. Miller plays various characters and appears in almost every scene. Scrapping a $200 million movie would be an unprecedented move.
