Despite “The Flash” being on target to premiere in 2023, and getting high marks during test screenings (via THR), Ezra Miller’s future with the DC Universe is uncertain. With James Gunn and Peter Safran taking the helm of DC, “Wonder Woman 3” got canceled, Black Adam was shown the door, and Henry Cavill’s Superman has been retired. It’s surprising that “The Flash” has survived the chopping block, but it is simply too expensive for Warner Bros. to scrap (per Variety), even with Miller’s image problems.
Negative press has plagued Miller because of their erratic behavior and troubles with the law, beginning when production of “Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore” was paused due to the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020. Miller went to Iceland, where they were caught on video assaulting a woman (via Variety). Miller was arrested in Hawaii later that month and then arrested for burglary in Vermont.

As reported by Vanity Fair, Miller has also been accused of allegedly grooming minors and starting a sex cult. They’ve had restraining orders taken out against them and threatened a Ku Klux Klan chapter on social media. Miller’s volatile behavior, apparent paranoia, and obsession with guns have left many worried about the actor’s mental health and safety. In August 2022, Miller issued a statement to Variety, saying they have been experiencing a mental health crisis and are seeking treatment, adding, “I want to apologize to everyone that I have alarmed and upset with my past behavior.”
