I can’t recall a movie production in recent memory that seems to be as cursed as The Flash. With countless director changes, countless rewrites, and countless delays, there is not telling what to make out of this upcoming DC superhero flick because I don’t think the people behind it even know what to make of it either. However, there is not one thing that been cursed more with the movie than with the lead themselves in Ezra Miller.
You might be asking what exactly has Ezra Miller done? I think a better question is what HASN’T Ezra Miller done? For what has at least been a better part of a year or two now, Ezra Miller has been causing absolute chaos around the world! There has been numerous allegations and charges against them for what they have done outside of production of The Flash and it doesn’t seem to be coming to an end.
It all started back in April 2020, just right around the time that the pandemic hit, where a video surface of Miller out in public choking a girl and throwing her into the ground. The video itself was confirmed by Variety to have taken place at Prikio Kaffihus, a bar in Reykjavik, and a bar employee confirmed that the person who strangled the woman was no other than Ezra Miller. No one knows why they did it or the intent behind it, but that unfortunately was only the beginning of the absolute trouble that Miller has caused in recent memory.
Here’s a video of the incident if anyone is interested. Be warned, this might be disturbing to some readers! Viewer discretion is heavily advised!
While Miller was mostly silent in 2021, 2022 was a whole another story! Since March 2022, there doesn’t seem to be a day that passes by where Miller is NOT all over the news!
They were arrested twice in Hawaii, one where he was accused of disorderly conduct and harassment at a karaoke bar and the other was for second-degree assault where he threw a chair at a 26-year old woman after being told to leave a private get-together! They were filled a restraining order by the parents of 18-year-old activist Tokata Iron Eyes after claims of emotional, mental, and physical abuse of the child. There’s been harassment allegations against them after a mother and her 12-year-old after they threatened their family and acted innapproiate in front the child. There were claims that they were giving very young children that were only one to five years old, access to guns and ammunition while they housed a woman and their children in Hawaii. And just a few days ago, they were charged with burglary in Vermont where they stole bottles of alcohol.
And I wouldn’t be surprised if there is one thing I missed or something else gets reported by the time I post this but yeah, Ezra Miller has been an absolute disaster as of late! I may not know what’s going on with them mentally or emotionally but this needs to stop now! Whether it’s putting them behind bars or in a mental hospital, this reign of terror has to come to an end!
Of course, the bigger question with Warner Bros is how exactly can they deal with this massive problem with one of their casted leads? According to The Hollywood Reporter, the heads of the studio are looking to try three different methods on how to handle this utter fiasco.
- First, Miller, with the aid of their mother, will seek professional help and will give an interview that will explain their erratic behavior recently. They will then be able to do limited press or the movie and it will be able to get released on time.
- Second, If Miller doesn’t get help, WB will still release the film but Miller will play no role in the marketing or press tour and will no longer work with Warner Bros as the Flash.
- Lastly, WB will just cancel their incredibly expensive movie all together since they couldn’t reshot it with a different actor and will just write this whole disaster as a loss and move on!
No matter what choice is made from WB, it will be resulted in a painfully awkward and long process. Whether it’s being forced to ask Miller themselves questions as to why they’ve been acting like a complete psycho for the past two years, release a film with no attention presented to it’s lead actor, or pulling the plug on a 200 million dollar production right after pulling the plug on another certain female-lead production less than half it’s budget (That post is for another day!) , nothing will come easy!
The Flash was suppose to be one of the biggest films in the DC Extended Universe as it was believed to be the one that will help change course and push boundaries towards the new direction they will go for in the future. With the inclusions of returning veterans such as Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton as the Batmen themselves to new additions such as Sasha Calle as Supergirl, this was the movie that was thought to clear a straight forward path with starting up a new timeline with the characters they would focus more on in the future. However, all of that seems to be in complete jeopardy now with the cancellations of movies such as Batgirl and Supergirl along with Erza Miller disastrous behavior out in public.
I don’t know exactly what Warner Bros will do with this current ordeal with Ezra Miller but I know damn well that something MUST be down with them here and now! I don’t care what it takes but you have got to stop the bleeding in some way, shape, or form! The longer this drags on, the more problems this will cause and harm the brand of DC Comics and Warner Bros!
Regardless, put an end to it all now!
