The Flash star Ezra Miller (they/them), who has been embattled in controversy following a slew of arrests and allegations in recent years, appears to have been quietly replaced in Season 2 of the Prime Video animated series Invincible.
In the show’s first season, Miller voiced the character D.A. Sinclair, a mad scientist who murders humans and turns them into ReAnimen (robots).
Although the villain is defeated in Season 1, he returns in a nightmare sequence during the latest Season 2 episode titled “I’m Not Going Anywhere.” According to EW, the character’s voice this time, however, is that of actor Eric Bauza (X-Men ’97, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles).
Invincible was created by The Walking Dead‘s Robert Kirkman and is based on the Skybound/Image comic of the same name. It centers on teenager Mark Grayson (Yeun), who learns that his father (J.K. Simmons) is the most powerful superhero on the planet. The show also stars Steven Yeun, Lauren Cohan, and Michael Cudlitz (who all appeared in TWD), among others.
Miller has been accused of assault, abuse, and grooming children in recent years and was arrested for alleged disorderly conduct and harassment. The actor struck several plea deals in multiple states and was able to have some of his charges dropped.
The actor apologized for their behavior in 2022 and said in a statement that they’d begun “ongoing treatment” to address “complex mental issues.”
“I want to apologize to everyone that I have alarmed and upset with my past behavior,” said Miller. “I am committed to doing the necessary work to get back to a healthy, safe and productive stage in my life.”
Due to his controversies, there were calls to replace Miller with Elliot Page in the 2023 superhero film The Flash, but director Andy Muschietti instead stood by the actor in a show of support.
“We have a lot of empathy in general for people who need help, and especially in mental health issues,” said Muschietti at the time. “That’s why they are taking the necessary steps to deal with their recovery, and we support them in that.”
